Day 11 Women’s Semi-finals
Aryna Sabalenka vs Ons Jabeur
Jabeur @13/10
Sabalenka has been in exceptional form over her last three matches, particularly in the quarterfinal against Madison Keys. She displayed her prowess as a powerful ball striker, rendering Keys, known for her strong hitting, rather ordinary throughout the match. On the other hand, Jabeur’s confidence will be soaring high after her remarkable comeback victory against Rybakina, where she rallied from a set down. In the final two sets, Jabeur’s performance was nothing short of incredible, showcasing not only her trademark variety but also outplaying a formidable opponent like last year’s champion with her own power game.
Similar to Rybakina, Sabalenka possesses a similar style and ability, presenting another significant challenge for Jabeur. However, I believe Jabeur will prevail. She seems to be riding a wave of momentum, buoyed by the unwavering support of the crowd in every match. This unique spell of encouragement will undoubtedly aid her in seizing the moment and emerging victorious.
We have backed Jabeur since her first match and think she will be the surprise package.
Elina Svitolina vs Marketa Vondrousova
Svitolina @11/10
While the captivating tale of wildcard and new mom Elina Svitolina eliminating top seed Iga Swiatek stole the spotlight, Marketa Vondrousova staged an impressive comeback against Jessica Pegula, rallying from a 1-4 deficit in the third set and triumphing by winning the last five games. Now, Svitolina and Vondrousova are set to clash for a spot in the final, in what is considered the weaker top half of the draw. Their last encounter took place in the semifinals of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, where the Czech player dominated proceedings. With Vondrousova currently holding a 3-2 advantage in their head-to-head matches and showcasing exceptional versatility, especially once the roof was closed during her match against Pegula, some may consider her the favorite. However, I believe Svitolina holds the edge. The Ukrainian has displayed a more aggressive style of play, particularly in her baseline rallies, throughout her Wimbledon campaign. Additionally, Svitolina will enjoy the full support of the crowd, further boosting her chances of success.
