Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 19.5 – 1.66.
Throughout her career, Jabeur has felt very confident, with impressive statistics on this surface. Maria has a tough and gruelling tournament road under her belt and we don’t think she has the strength left to battle with the second-ranked player in the world on equal terms during the whole match.
Jabeur defeated Maria with a score of 6-4, 6-1 in their last head-to-head encounter. We think that there will be a similar scenario today.
For the first time, Jabeur reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament.
Unlike at Roland Garros, where she was eliminated after the first round, this time Ons managed to confirm her status as one of the favourites of the tournament.
True, so far she had not had a single opponent from the top 30. Elise Mertens was the best ranked of all Jabeur’s opponents. Jabeur defeated Mertens in the fourth round (7-6, 6-4).
In the quarter-finals, Ons got a hard-fought victory over Marie Bouzkova (3-6, 6-1, 6-1). It was the only match so far in which Jabeur lost a set.
Earlier in the tournament, Jabeur defeated Mirjam Bjorklund (6-1, 6-3), Katarzyna Kawa (6-4, 6-0) and Diane Parry (6-2, 6-3).
Jaber’s win-streak stands at ten matches in a row.
Maria is the main discovery of Wimbledon. Not only will she be playing in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, but she also has never before reached the second week at this level.
She reached the Wimbledon semi-finals 15 months after the birth of her second daughter.
In the quarterfinals, she defeated Jule Niemeier (4-6, 6-2, 7-5).
In the third round, Maria stopped Maria Sakkari (6-3, 7-5), and in the fourth, she scored a strong win over Jelena Ostapenko (5-7, 7-5, 7-5).
An amazing success story for a tennis player who has never been ranked higher than 46th.
Eight of Maria’s ten previous games have been played in three sets.
In three of Jabeur’s five matches, less than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with the odds of 1.57.
