Take your chance on a +160 payout as Iga Swiatek goes for another dominant win against Elina Svitolina in the semifinals of the 2026 Italian Open.
Momentum: Iga Swiatek is starting to play like her old dominant self again after coming through with three dominant wins since her three-set escape against Caty McNally in the second round. The four-time French Open champion has demolished Elisabetta Cocciaretto 6-1, 6-0, Naomi Osaka 6-2, 6-1, and Jessica Pegula 6-1, 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals in Rome.
Elina Svitolina continued to turn back the hands of time as the 31-year-old netter claimed her fourth top-5 this year win by outlasting Elena Rybakina 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. Svitolina, who crashed out in the second round in Madrid, improved to 6-2 on clay this year. More importantly, the Ukrainian gets another opportunity to reach a second WTA 1000 final this year. Svitolina booked her fifth WTA 1000 final appearance earlier this year in Dubai, where she lost to Jessica Pegula 2-6, 4-6.
The Matchup: Swiatek sports a 4-2 head-to-head record against Svitolina. However, the Ukrainian came out on top in their most recent encounter in the quarterfinal of the 2026 Indian Wells Open, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.
Hot on the Matchup: All eyes on Swiatek if she can sustain this impeccable run in Rome. Swiatek commands a -360 price on the moneyline and offers as high as +160 to cover -6.5 games in the spread market. Svitolina sits at +258 moneyline while still commanding a competitive price of +125 on the +3.5 line.

Our Iga Swiatek vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
Swiatek’s domination continues.
The Pole will extend her fabulous run in Rome by delivering another master class in another impeccable win over Elina Svitolina.
Swiatek posted devastating numbers after four matches in this tournament. She has faced only 11 breakpoints – saving 6 of them – and converted 22 of 42 breakpoint chances.
Svitolina has faced 43 breakpoints, saving 33 of these for a rock-solid 76.7% breakpoint saved percentage. She has also converted 21 of 42 breakpoints for a 50% conversion rate.
Nonetheless, it will take a superhuman effort for Svitolina to match this level of efficiency against Swiatek, who seems to have regained her competitive edge on this surface. The Pole cruised to a 6-1, 7-5 win over Svitolina in their last meeting on clay in last year’s French Open.
