Prediction published on 6/24/26, 9:33 PM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 6/24/26 at 11:41 PM in Tennis Picks

Seeking to sustain her impressive form on grass, Zeynep Sonmez will try to put up a solid show and cover the +3.5-line against former Grand Slam champion Jelena Ostapenko in the quarterfinals at the 2026 Eastbourne Open.

Current Form:

Jelena Ostapenko punched her ticket to the quarterfinals of the 2026 Eastbourne International following a come-from-behind win over Panna Udvardy 3-6, 6-1, 6-2. The Latvian power hitter shook off a rusty start and unleashed relentless pressure on Udvardy. Ostapenko, who is winning 77 percent of her first serves in this tournament, held all her serves and converted 6 breakpoint chances.

Zeynep Sonmez secured her spot in the final eight without breaking a sweat after her scheduled opponent, Sara Bejlek, pulled out of the tournament because of an injury. Sonmez has been grinding on grass over the past three weeks, compiling a solid 8-2 record. She qualified for the main draw at Eastbourne after picking up a win over Hanne Vandewinkel and Zeynep Sonmez. She also defeated Harriet Dart 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 in the first round.

Caesars Sportsbooks offer Ostapenko at -200 moneyline after the Latvian displayed incredible power play in the past two rounds. Sonmez appears as an intriguing option to cover the spread with a +3.5-game headstart because of her solid 6-6 record against top-50 players in 2026.
