Our Jelena Ostapenko vs Alexandra Eala Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Alexandra Eala grinds out a 6-4, 2-6, 7-5 win over Jelena Ostapenko
Best Pick: Alexandra Eala will win
The clay is Ostapenko’s domain, yet Eala seems to know how to beat the Latvian consistently better than anyone else. Penko on clay presents a whole new challenge for Eala, who has a sub 50 percent win rate on this surface. But after seeing the Filipina sweep Austria’s No.1 player, a 65 percent winner on clay, Eala might have more than a puncher’s chance of coming through another upset over Ostapenko, who is only 9-8 on the season.
Eala has completed 70 percent of her first serves in the two matches against Ostapenko. If she can produce the same percentage on the first serves and dictate the flow of the match, Eala will be in a terrific position to pull off another stunner against the former Grand Slam winner.
Our betting prediction for Alexandra Eala vs. Jelena Ostapenko: Alexandra Eala will win.
