Camila Giorgi-Ostapenko prediction, Eastbourne: Over 9.5 1st set at 2.10

The success against the Tunisian launches Camila, who needs another great victory to get through the quarter-finals. And underdog for the bookies

Camila Giorgi is like this: if she’s in the day, she can beat anyone. Even more so on grass, the surface on which you have the best percentage of matches won in your career, 58.6%. On Wednesday in Eastbourne, the tennis player from Macerata found a huge success against Ons Jabeur, seeded number 4, leaving only five games on the road: a clear and authoritative 6-3 6-2, after the defeat in Birmingham had come in the first round against Venus Williams. Take or leave. And now, therefore, the question arises: can Giorgi also win with Jelena Ostapenko?

The prediction

She hasn’t dropped a set in the tournament yet, Camila. In the first round came the 6-3 6-4 success against Heather Watson, then precisely the victory against Jabeur. The same goes for Ostapenko, who brilliantly surpassed Strycova (6-4 6-3) and Dart (6-3 6-4). There’s more: the Latvian comes from the victory in Birmingham in the final against Krejcikova, at the end of a tournament in which she won all her matches in the third set before the two sets with which she brought the final home (7-6 6 -4). If everything is going smoothly in Eastbourne for now, last week you always had to struggle. Jelena also gets excited on grass: 72.1% of matches won and two titles, just in Eastbourne in 2021 before the one in Birmingham a few days ago. But Camila Giorgi, if during the day, can put her in difficulty. She maybe in the first set, taking advantage of the long wave of success with Jabeur: the Over 9.5 game in the first set has odds of 2.10 for LeoVegas, 2.00 for Betfair and Bet365.

Odds: Camila Giorgi underdog

Giorgi also won a title on grass in his career, even if it is now rather dated: in 2015 in s’Hertogenbosch, in the final against Belinda Bencic. Although our tennis player has shown that she can be dangerous on grass, all the major betting sites bet on Ostapenko: she is the clear favorite. The success of the Latvian tennis player is given at 1.45 by Novibet, 1.44 by Better and GoldBet. While Giorgi’s victory odds are 2.80 for LeoVegas and PlanetWin, 2.75 for Sisal.
