One of Wednesday's Women's US Open matches that I like the look of from a betting viewpoint is the one between Jelena Ostapenko and Taylor Townsend. This is a very interesting match. If we were to glance at the rankings, we could assume that the Latvian would ease to a win. After all, she's ranked over 100 places above her opponent. However, Ostapenko, despite being a hugely talented player, has developed a habit of failing to deliver in matches of this nature, while she's up against a Taylor Townsend who has been in resurgent form of late, winning seven out of nine matches since the grass-court season came to a close. It's absolutely fair to say that the American competitor is a much better player than her current ranking, so don't be fooled by that.

Our Jelena Ostapenko vs Taylor Townsend Prediction

At the end of the day, Jelena Ostapenko has never really scaled the heights that her previous form suggested that she would, wihle in 2025, she's made a bit of a habit of losing matches that you would've once expected her to win. This is one of those matches, so much so that I think you could argue that Taylor Townsend should be a narrow favorite here, so while she's not there's some value on offer. After all, when the pair met on a hard surface in this part of the world a year ago, Townsend won in straight sets. Our Jelena Ostapenko vs Taylor Townsend Pick: Taylor Townsend to Win.
