Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20 – 1.70.
Aryna Sabalenka managed to play only two matches at the tournament steadily and confidently. Already in the game against Van Uytvanck, Aryna with great difficulty gained the lead. Shelby Rogers is having one of her best tournaments of the season and is quite capable of taking advantage of her opponents’ mistakes.
In their last two matches at the tournament, the tennis players played three sets each. Can’t say that both have looked reliable on their serves. We’re predicting that it will be a long encounter.
Aryna Sabalenka has competed twice in her career in Hertogenbosch but has not made it past the quarterfinals. In 2022 we see her reaching the semi-finals.
Her appearance in the semi-finals is not a big surprise. Anyway, her tournament schedule wasn’t very difficult. She managed to get through Kateryna Baindl (6-4, 6-1) and Arriane Hartono (6-2, 6-3) in class. However, in the quarterfinals, she had to play against a very fit Alison Van Uytvanck. In that game, the ticket to the semi-finals was decided only in the tie-break in the third set (6-3, 3-6, 7-6).
Sabalenka has celebrated victory in eight of the last nine meetings on grass.
Before the start in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Shelby Rogers had only 15 wins and 21 defeats on the grass in her career. She was not considered a title contender in the polls, but she was able to perform at her best.
Her biggest success was a (6-2, 6-4) victory over Yelena Rybakina in the second round. She also had victories over Vitalia Diachenko (6-2, 6-4) and Kirsten Flipkens (3-6, 6-1, 6-4). It is clear that Rogers is now at the peak of her form and is capable of competing for the final.
Four of Rogers’ last five grass matches have ended in two sets.
