Game, Set, Bet, presented by BetMGM: Jelena Ostapenko vs. Daria Kasatkina, Adelaide

The Latvian has won three straight in this match-up, but it's hard to rule the Russian out in this spot.

On Saturday, January 13, Jelena Ostapenko and Daria Kasatkina will clash for the Adelaide International title. Ostapenko booked her spot in the final with a 6-2, 7-6 (3) win over Ekaterina Alexandrova; she has now beaten Alexandrova, Marta Kostyuk, Caroline Garcia and Sorana Cirstea this week. Meanwhile, Kasatkina avoided having to face Jessica Pegula in the semifinals, as the American withdrew with an illness. That was the second consecutive walkover for Kasatkina; she has only won two actual matches this week, over Claire Liu and Anna Kalinskaya.

Their paths to the final surely means that Ostapenko is the more battle-tested player. But there are reasons to bet on both players.
