Jelena Ostapenko to Win

There is a big difference in the performance of both players during this tournament, Ostapenko lost one set in each round, while Krejcikova won them all in straight sets, all of them in less than 20.5 games. We expect the Czech player to keep the same pace and win the trophy.

Under 22.5 Total Games

The manner in which each player reached this final is the opposite. On the one hand, Krejcikova spent a total of 5 and 52 minutes on the court while Ostapenko exceeded this time by almost 3 hours.

In addition, the Latvian player played 4 sets and 45 games more than her next opponent. This was due to unforced errors. We think that the Czech player will take advantage of any defensive oversight of her rival to finish this duel quickly.

Take a look at Barbora Krejcikova and Jelena Ostapenko preview, and if you are looking for more tennis match predictions, you’re in the right place.

Barbora Krejcikova

The Czech tennis player had a good start to the season, but it was reduced in the clay court season. So far her record stands at 24 wins and 11 losses. In previous years, Krejcikova’s performances in clay court tournaments were far from spectacular.

The 27-year-old seems to have got the hang of this type of surface, winning all four matches she has played so far. Notably, she has not lost a single set at the 2023 Birmingham Open.

Jelena Ostapenko

Like last year, Ostapenko is having an excellent season in grass-court tournaments. Although in the previous edition of the Birmingham Open, the Latvian tennis player only reached the second round, that same year she reached the final of Eastbourne and the fourth round of Wimbledon.

This will help her to improve a season that has been atypical, and whose best result was reaching the semi-finals of the Rome Masters. A peculiar feature during this tournament is that Jelena needed 3 sets in each round to overcome her rivals.

Krejcikova vs Ostapenko Head to Head

The Birmingham Open Final will be the stage for the seventh chapter between Barbora Krejcikova and Jelena Ostapenkos. This particular series which began in 2015 and whose last meeting was just a month ago, is led by the Latvian tennis player 4-2.

It is worth noting that they had already faced each other on different types of surfaces but this will be the first time they will do it on grass. Krejcikova still remembers how she was knocked out in the third round of the Rome Masters after losing in straight sets.
