Tip and bets
Throughout her whole career, Sasnovich is looking uncomfortable in matches against physically stronger opponents. Jelena Ostapenko is not an exception - Latvian player won all three head-to-head matches on different surfaces. Jelena is a wonderful form now, so she is unlikely to lose now.
Our prediction - Ostapenko to win
Ostapenko won two consecutive matches in straight sets, but she is usually less consistent. In two out of three head-to-head matches Sasnovich managed to snatch a set. We are expecting another long match in Saint Petersburg.
