Jelena Ostapenko vs Iga Swiatek Prediction and Betting Tips (13.10.2021)

Command Analysis

Jelena Ostapenko

Latvia

Jelena Ostapenko was looking good in recent European indoor tournaments. Latvian player reached the final of Luxembourg tournament, in which she was beaten by Tauson (3:6, 6:4, 4:6). Ostapenko got a difficult draw at Ostrava, in the second round she was eliminated by the eventual runner-up of the tournament, Sakkari (4:6, 2:6).

At Indian Wells Ostapenko started with a victory over Hsieh Su-Wei (6:3, 6:0). Then she had a difficult match against Putintseva, in which she had to play three sets (6:3, 2:6, 6:3). Overall, Ostapenko performed well and proved her persistance. Latvian player always performs well in matches against members of Top-10, so she is unlikely to leave the court without a fight in the match against Swiatek.

Iga Swiatek

Poland

After US Open Iga Swiatek, just like her today opponent, performed at Ostrava tournament. And just like Ostapenko, she was beaten by Maria Sakkari (4:6, 5:7), it happened in a quarter-final.

So far Swiatek is flawless at Indian Wells. Petra Martic won only four games in a match against her (6:1, 6:3). Veronika Kudermetova managed to snatch only one game (6:1, 6:0). Now she will play against Ostapenko, who is an extremely unpredictable player. We think that Polish player is still remembering the match at 2019 Birmingham tournament, in which Swiatek was destroyed by Ostapenko (6:0, 6:2).
