Jelena Ostapenko

Jelena Ostapenko has a conquered title at Roland Garros in 2017 after a final with Simona Halep, but her favorite surface remains grass. He was a junior champion at Wimbledon, and for professionals, the Latvian ran three out of four at least until the eighth. The best result he got last year: the semi-final lost to Angelique Kerber.In 2019, Ostapenko did not go through the final stage of any of the competitions he took part in. The grass season began with a definite 6-0, 6-2 victory against the young Polish player Iga Swiatek.Johanna Konta met three times in the WTA circuit and defeated it once. All parties between the two players needed a decisive set.

Johanna Konta

Johanna Konta is one of the pleasant surprises this year. The British comes after an excellent slag season in which he lost the finals in Rabat and Rome and reached the semifinals at Roland Garros.The grass tournaments are the specialty of the house in its case. Johanna Konta has a title won at Stanford in 2016 and two finals lost to Nottingham. The best result remains the Wimbledon semifinal in 2017, lost to Venus Williams.In the first round in Birmingham, Konta defeated Anett Kontaveit 6-4, 6-2. The British won the only match played on the grass against Jelena Ostapenko, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, in 2017, in the finals of the Eastbourne finals.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Jelena Ostapenko vs Johanna Konta

Ostapenko did not make a great season, but the grass is a surface that feels good. I expect at least the first set to be balanced.
