Svitolina vs Vondrousova Prediction & Pick

These two women have combined to take out seven ranked opponents in their run to the Wimbledon quarterfinals, but only one can secure a spot in the finals. I like that to be Svitolina for a few reasons. First off, the momentum that comes with eliminating the No. 1-ranked player is an unmatched factor.

Not only that, but Svitolina also holds a 3-2 edge in her all-time head-to-head series against Vondrousova. That experience will come in handy, as will her past experience in Grand Slam tournaments. Svitolina owns an all-time record of 79-37 in Grand Slam events, which outshines Vondrousova's 26-20 record.

This matchup is the definition of a toss-up, but I'll back Svitolina as her experience proves crucial.

Winner: Elina Svitolina

Svitolina vs Vondrousova Best Bet

Riding Elina Svitolina on the moneyline (+108) is a viable avenue to take here, but backing her to cover a 1.5-game spread provides more leeway. After all, it's a bet that could cash whether Svitolina emerges victorious or not. All she needs to do is keep any set that she loses close in score and this bet then stays alive. It also helps that she has covered this spread in each of her five Wimbledon victories.

Bet: Elina Svitolina +1.5 Games (-118)
