H2H History

Azarenka is 5-0 against Svitolina, with the most recent match coming in the 2022 Australian Open. Three of the 5 meetings were decided in straight sets and this will be the first match on grass.

Randy’s Pick

Azarenka should be favored, as she’s won every meeting against Svitolina. Also, Svitolina has never beaten a top-20 player on grass. With that said, Svitolina has been on a tear recently and if there was a time for her to finally breakthrough, now would be a good time. Azarenka can also still have issues with unforced errors, which opens the door for her opponent. 

I’ll take a shot with Svitolina and the plus money.
