H2H History

Svitolina has won 3 of the 5 meetings against Vondrousova, but she’s lost the last 2 matches. The most recent meeting was in the 2021 Olympics. Svitolina’s last win was in 2019 Indian Wells. Three of the 5 matches were decided in straight sets. This will be the first match on grass. 

Randy’s Pick

This line is kind of strange. Yes, Vondrousova has won 3 straight matches against Svitolina and is playing well currently. However, Svitolina is the better player when they’re both at the top of their game, and we just saw Svitolina knockout the favorite in the tournament. I guess some are expecting Svitolina to tire out after emotional wins? Svitolina is playing for her home country and has that fire in her belly. Also, Svitolina has far more experience in these sorts of situations, even if it’s Vondrousova who has tasted a final berth.

I’ll take Svitolina and the plus money.
