Sport.ua together with a betting partner bet announcing the upcoming fight!
Elina Svitolina
Since Elina Svitolina is seeded in Auckland, it seems logical to make it to the final. The Ukrainian player started here by beating Varvara Gracheva, an athlete with a French passport, 6:3, 6:1. They then managed to beat Britain’s Katie Boulter 7:5, 6:4. The toughest match of the tournament so far was the quarter-final against another British player, Sonay Kartal, with scores of 6:4, 6:7, 7:6, and they had to come back from 3:5 in the last match.
The toughest nut to crack in the semi-finals was young American Iva Jovic. The American started, but having lost 0:3 in the first set, Svitolina grabbed victory in the tiebreaker and then confidently took the second set – 7:6, 6:2 in the end. The Ukrainian player came for the championship, now he is just one step away from his goal.
Wang Xinyu
The Chinese athlete can also claim to have performed well as he placed fifth in this tournament. Wang started with a hard-fought 2:6, 6:3, 7:5 victory over American Katie McNally and managed to come back from 0:2 down in the final match. We then managed to overcome the tough Mexican Renata Sarazua – 7:5, 6:4. In the quarter-finals, the Chinese woman took a 6:4, 4:3 lead against Francesca Jones and the British player withdrew from the match.
The most difficult for Wang was the semifinal, where she had to play with Alexandra Eala from the Philippines. In that match, the Chinese woman lost 5:7 3:5, even regaining a match point at 4:5, but eventually made a comeback by winning 5:7, 7:5, 6:4. Although the athlete is 24 years old, he already has enough experience to play at a solid level.
personal meetings
Tennis players have played each other only once – in the fourth round of Wimbledon 2024. The fight did not work out, as Svitolina managed to win in less than an hour: 6:2, 6:1.
To guess
The Ukrainian player will be the favorite of this duo, primarily due to his experience. The Chinese woman is a strong tennis player and will try to compete for the title, overall I am looking forward to an interesting fight. Svitolina has already shown in this tournament that she knows how to win matches even if everything does not go her way.
I think the Ukrainian should take the title here, so I’ll bet on him to win with a match handicap of -3.5.
