Pliskova vs Sabalenka: who will advance into the final of Wimbledon?
Throughout her career, Karolina Pliskova was defeated by Aryna Sabalenka twice. On July 8, players will meet once again in the semi-final of Wimbledon. Who will get the spot in the final? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Karolina Pliskova
Czech Republic2021 season is certainly not the best one for Karolina Pliskova. Czech player has dropped out of WTA Top-10 and before the start of Wimbledon had only one significant success - a final of Rome tournament.
Despite that, Karolina managed to impress everyone at London. Though she got a lucky draw. On her way to the semi-final she didn't have to face opponents from the Top-40. Most of her opponents were beaten pretty easily: Zidansek, Vekic, Martincova, Samsonova and Golubic were defeated by Karolina in straight sets.
In the quarter-final Pliskova had to play against Viktorija Golubic (6:2, 6:2). A powerful offensive performance brought a success to Karolina, her opponent just couldn't handle Pliskova's attacks. Now she is approaching a serious challenge - match against Sabalenka, who also loves to attack and is able to hold on to her serve.
Aryna Sabalenka
BelarusBefore the start of the current Wimbledon tournament Aryna Sabalenka was not looking great on Grand Slam tournaments, which we often mention in our predictions. Only at the current London tournament Aryna's fans have finally got the breakthrough they were waiting for. Belarusian player was already happy after she advanced into the round of 16. But she didn't stop her winning streak after that. We should mention that if Aryna will go to the final, she will become the second best player in the world.
In first three rounds Aryna easily beat low-ranked opponents, Niculescu, Boulter and Osorio Serrano. Though she lost one set in the match against Boulter (4:6, 6:3, 6:3).
In two most recent Wimbledon matches Aryna played against very difficult opponents - Rybakina and Jabeur. Kazakhstan representative was beaten in three sets (6:3, 4:6, 6:3). Tunisian player was defeated even more easily (6:4, 6:3). In the latter match Belarus representative was playing very confident on her serve, winning 83% of points.
