Finally, we’ve reached the finals of Wimbledon 2024. We are guaranteed to have a first time champion too. But will it be Krejcikova or Paolini? Let me give my tennis predictions today for the final game of the women’s singles event.

Our favourite Barbora Krejcikova vs Jasmine Paolini predictions

There are some very interesting similarities between these two. Both have played one Grand Slam final before – in Roland Garros. Yet, Krejcikova won her final in 2021, while Paolini lost her one and only final a few weeks ago in Paris. Of course, this means this is the second slam final for both of these players, and they’ve battled hard to get here.

As for the more appealing markets to cover, let me run through them now.

Over 21.5 games @ 4/6 (1.67)

Both Krejcikova and Paolini will be fatigued coming into the final – mentally and physically. This means the game could boil down to a battle of will. And looking at the quarter-final and semi-final matches for these two, I believe this market has a solid chance of coming through.

Three total sets @ 11/8 (2.38)

While these two have different game styles, I don’t see much daylight between the way they’ve been playing in Wimbledon 2024. This sets the stage for a very close encounter. And in Grand Slam finals, nerves always play a part, contributing to the chances of a three set contest.

Barbora Krejcikova vs Jasmine Paolini odds

The latest odds for this match suggest that Krejcikova has a 58.80% chance of winning this final while the probability for Paolini is 48.80%.

Who will be crowned champion for the Wimbledon women’s singles 2024?

Let’s now look into a couple of previews before these two take to Centre Court on Saturday.

Barbora Krejcikova preview

Krejcikova has had an incredible tournament at Wimbledon 2024. She’s beaten some huge names, and the most recent scalp was a win over Rybakina. As for her experience at this level of slams, she has actually competed in one final before, and she won it! This was in the 2021 French Open, so weirdly enough, her experience in slam finals is almost identical to Paolini’s.

Jasmine Paolini preview

What a dream few weeks it has been for Jasmine Paolini. She’s gone from being a decent tennis player to being one of the best in the world. Following her Roland Garros defeat in the finals against Iga Swiatek, I am sure she will be desperate to do one better here. At the same time, she’s now experienced in the later stages of slams, and her current form and belief could give her an edge.

Krejcikova vs Paolini head to head

The head-to-head records between these two aren’t exactly extensive. In fact, they played just one time before, all the way back in 2018. And to be honest, with that being the first round of qualifying at the Australian Open, this doesn’t have much bearing on the potential outcome here.
