The Wimbledon tennis action continues in London with the women’s quarterfinals Tuesday at the All England Club. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixtures below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Williams vs. Ostapenko
At the age of 37, Venus Williams continues to be one of the best players in the game. Playing on grass brings the best out of Venus with a phenomenal 85-14 career record at the All England Club. Adding to this, Williams reaches this stage of the competition after an outstanding victory over Ana Konjuh. Despite Ana’s unquestionable quality on this surface, the five-time Wimbledon champion ended the match with an incredible 1.92 winners / unforced errors ratio.
Regardless of this Tuesday’s outcome, Jelena Ostapenko already secured her career-high ranking next week. Known as one of the most powerful players on the WTA Tour, the fast court conditions on grass are perfect for Ostapenko. Taking a look now at Jelena’s campaign in this event, the 2017 French Open champion staged a phenomenal win in the previous round against Elina Svitolina.
Despite Ostapenko’s brilliant results in recent weeks, it’s hard to ignore Venus’ current price. The 37-year-old American is available at 4/5 at SBOBet while Pinnacle offers 6/5 for Jelena’s victory. Due to Williams’ higher experience at this level and phenomenal performance in the previous round, our advice is for you to place a bet on the five-time champion to emerge victorious from this contest.
Konta vs. Halep
Simona Halep continues her impressive run in Wimbledon. After her extraordinary victory over Victoria Azarenka in the previous round, the 25-year-old Romanian is now just one win away from becoming the new world No.1. Despite facing one of the best competitors in tennis history, Halep ended the match with incredible numbers: 18 winners and only 11 unforced errors.
The world No.7 Konta is trying to become the first British female player to win this event since Virginia Wade back in 1977. At the age of 26, Konta is going through the best moment in her career with a sensational 75.51% winning record in 2017. Considering Johanna’s numbers in this tournament, the home favourite won 86.79% of her service games at the All England Club.
Taking a look now at the current odds for this match, the bookmakers consider Konta the slight favourite at 19/20 at Pinnacle while Simona is available at 1/1 at William Hill. Even though we understand Johanna’s favouritism, Halep is playing at a superb level. For that reason, we’ll go with the Romanian to win this match and to become the new world No. 1.
