Peyton Stearns to Win a Set
Peyton Stearns is coming off a straight sets victory over Katerina Siniakova; she has put up a fairly good run of results in recent weeks, winning seven of her last nine singles matches. It’s fair to point out that Stearns has held her own against almost all of her opponents over the past month; she won at least one set in all of her last 14 matches across all competitions. Although former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko will be a tough nut to crack, we believe that Peyton Stearns will do enough to take one set.
At Least 21 Total Games
We’ve already established that Peyton Stearns didn’t lose any of her last 14 matches in straight sets. Interestingly, three of her last five matches ended in maximum sets, and four of those five matches went above the 20.5 games line. In like manner, three of Jelena Ostapenko’s last four singles matches went over 20.5 games, and two of those ended in three sets. We expect this match to go all the way to three sets, and that’s why we’re taking the over option.
