Jelena Ostapenko guns for her second consecutive final appearance at the 2026 Qatar Open on Friday, taking on Canadian prodigy Victoria Mboko.
Recommended Pick: Total Over 23.5 Games (Alt Total Games)
Potential Payout: Bet $100, Win $225 (+125) on DraftKings
Current Form:
Ostapenko busted out her red-hot form in Doha after sweeping her last three opponents and dropping only one set across four matches at the 2026 Qatar Open. Ostapenko punched her ticket to the final with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Elisabetta Cocciaretto, the player who stunned world’s No.4 Coco Gauff in the second round. Holding a 67 percent breakpoint conversion percentage, Ostapenko broke the Italian five times on 39 return points.
Mboko also made it to her second WTA 1000 semifinal appearance following a stunning upset of the reigning Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina 7-5, 4-6, 6-4. Mboko traded haymakers and breakpoints with Rybakina, but the Canadian showed poise beyond her years to secure the big points down the stretch and topple the No.2 seed in the tourney.

Our Jelena Ostapenko vs Victoria Mboko Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Victoria Mboko grinds out three-set win over Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 3-6, 7-6
This promises to be an exciting but brutal semifinal clash between Mboko and Ostapenko. For that, a modest bet on total OVER 23.5 Games (+125) is looking like the safest bet out there with solid returns.
Mboko has been impressive in this tourney with top-10 wins over Mirra Andreeva and Elena Rybakina. But to say that the Canadian is a shoo-in finalist in this tournament neglects recognition of what Ostapenko has achieved in Doha as well.
There’s no doubt that Mboko has established herself as the betting favorite after back-to-back sterling performances. But Ostapenko is no pushover. She is a two-time Qatar Open finalist for a reason, and very much eager to win the title this time around.
Ostapenko and Mboko will battle to a three-set banger. A match that can go either way, yet Mboko might be the one who will escape with the W in the end.
