Karolina Pliskova playing at her best in Wimbledon
Despite winning the title at Brisbane International last January, Karolina Pliskova didn’t have a good year losing most of her matches in early rounds in the tournaments she played. In the other two Grand Slams of the year, Pliskova lost in the third round of the Australian Open and in the second round of the French Open.
Pliskova has been playing top tennis though in Wimbledon. The only set she lost was against Sabalenka in the semi-final. The Czech world number 13 was involved in one of the best matches in terms of serving in as it is rare that we see 32 total aces in a women’s match of which Karolina served 14. If she can keep her serve on that level, Pliskova will have a very good chance in the final.

Ashleigh Barty vs Karolina Pliskova Prediction
Ashleigh Barty will fancy her chances of winning the second Grand Slam title of her career as she plays world number 13 Karolina Pliskova. The world number one is leading the head-to-head meetings by 5-2. They played each other on grass twice and shared the victory.
Both players have different styles. Barty tries to dictate the rallies with her slice backhand and that could be trouble for Pliskova who is not the most agile player to get down for the low shot. Meanwhile, Pliskova has very hard groundstrokes and takes the chance to go for winners as much as possible.
The Bookmakers are favoring Barty to win with low odds of 1.38 at Vbet. We will look at the total games market and predict that we will see under 24.5 games. For our second prediction, we are going with over 2.5 sets.
