LiontipsPetra Kvitova vs Jelena Ostapenko. Prediction and Betting Tips for WTA Eastbourne
Command Analysis
Current season is surely not the best one for Petra Kvitova. Since the beginning of 2022, she was unable to break into the quarter-final. Czech player usually struggled to even break through second rounds in numerous tournaments, so a competition at Eastbourne is surely a huge success for her.
We should say that Kvitova got a lucky draw. She beat Vekic, Boulter and Dart in first three rounds. However, semi-final match was a tough challenge for Petra. She managed to put an end to Haddad Maia's 12-match winning streak (7:6, 6:4). Kvitova put up a fantastic serving performance in that match, losing no games at her serve.
Jelena Ostapenko had a few unsuccessful tournaments before Eastbourne. But Latvian player managed to put an end to her struggles here and even reached the final for a second year in a row. In 2021, she beat Kontaveit in the decisive match (6:3, 6:3).
Jelena managed to gain fantastic form on her way to the final. It is extremely hard to stop Ostapenko, when she is confident. A semi-final match against Giorgi is a great example (6:2, 6:2). In previous rounds Latvian player secured straight-set victories over Tomljanovic, Keys and Kalinina.
