Karolina Pliskova vs Aryna Sabalenka: Bookmakers underestimate Кarolina

World's numbers 13 and 4, Karolina Pliskova and Aryna Sabalenka will meet in the women's Wimbledon semifinals. Pliskova has had her best match yet at the English Majors, but despite that, Aryna Sabalenka is the odds-on favorite to win the title. Moreover, the odds of Sabalenka 's victory continue to fall.

After failing at Roland Garros 2021, Pliskova failed at two grass-court tournaments, in Berlin and Eastbourne. In the German capital, Pliskova lost in two sets to Pegula. In Eastbourne the Czech player could not cope with Giorgi, losing 1-2 to the Italian. On the other hand, at Wimbledon 2021, Karolina shot quite well, outplaying Zidansek, Vekic, Martincova, Samsonova, and Golubic. The game against the Swiss lasted only an hour and 22 minutes, while Golubic took only four games. We'd like to point out the excellent ratio of winners/ Unforced error, 28/19, which is a great result for the ladies.

In contrast to Pliskova, Aryna had four matches before Wimbledon, in which she won twice and lost twice. Sabalenka also dropped out of the Berlin tournament after the first game, losing to Keys in three sets. In Eastbourne, the Belarusian defeated Pera and Riske but was weaker than Georgi, who had beaten Pliskova. At Wimbledon 2021 Sobolenko has already lost two sets - to Boulter and Rybakina but outplayed Niculescu, Osorio Serrano, and Jabeur. Against the Tunisianplayer, Aryna had a positive serve/double faults of 27/20 but her serve/double faults were negative 3/5.

We think that bookmakers slightly underestimate Karolina. The Czech is an experienced tennis player who once played in the semifinals of Grand Slam tournaments and even in the finals of the Majors, though never won such big tournaments, as well as Sabalenka. Aryna has youth and speed on her side, but Karolina has more experience, which will probably outweigh her at such a high stage of Majors. We offer the following bets for this game: W2 for 1.50, Total March Games Over 21.5 for 1.80, Aryna Sabalenka Set Betting 2-0 for 2.10.
