Victoria Azarenka vs Elina Svitolina – Match Predictions
Contents
As Elina Svitolina sets her sights on her first victory over Victoria Azarenka, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Victoria Azarenka to Emerge Victorious
To be fair, Elina Svitolina has been on an impressive run since she came back on tour; she has 12 wins in her last 14 matches, winning one title in that stretch. However, the Ukrainian player tends to fall short whenever she goes up against Victoria Azarenka. We would like to point out that these players have met on five occasions, and Azarenka won all five clashes, surrendering just two sets in the process. Bearing that in mind, we believe the former World number 1 will maintain her perfect record against Svitolina today.
At Least 21 Total Games
We’ve already established that Elina Svitolina lost all of her previous skirmishes with Azarenka. However, she has been on an impressive run here at Wimbledon, defeating Venus Williams, Elise Mertens and Sofia Kenin in the first three rounds. Given how well the Ukrainian has been playing lately, we believe she’ll cause all sorts of troubles for Azarenka today. That said, this match will likely go all the way to three sets, but we’re fairly confident that it’ll go over 20.5 games.
