On July 10, at 16: 00 Moscow time, Barty will play against Pliskova in the Wimbledon final. Will Karolina be able to win the TBSH for the first time in her career? Bookmakers consider the Australian to be the favorite of the confrontation.
Ashleigh Barty
Barty is the first racket of the world. For her, this will be the 5th final of the season. She won tournaments in Melbourne-1, Miami and Stuttgart, and lost the title to Sobolenko in Rome.
On the way to her first TBSH final, Ashley beat SuaresNavarro (6-1, 6-7, 6-1) in three games, and then she dealt with Blinkova, Sinyakova, Krejcikova, Tomljanovic and Kerber in two sets. The Australian allowed all these opponents to make two or three breaks, and only Angelica, in the semifinals, gave only one game on her serve: 6-3, 7-6.
Karolina Pliskova
Pliskova is the 13th racket of the world. The last tournament won was in January last season (Brisbane). This year, Carolina reached the final at the tournament in Rome, where she lost to Svyatek in disgrace: 0-6, 0-6.
Karolina reached the semifinals of Wimbledon without losing a single set, although her opponents were not from the TOP 30. The Czech wrestled with Sobolenko for reaching the final. The meeting turned out to be very persistent and interesting, and even with a record for aces (14 for Pliskova and 18 for Barty), taking into account the Wimbledon matches in the women's category: 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. Interestingly, Arina had only one break point during the entire match.

Forecast from LiveResult.ru
Barty has been playing consistently well for many seasons now, and almost at all major competitions he gets to the decisive stages. Pliskova has nothing much to brag about, but she feels very confident at the current competitions, and in many respects thanks to a powerful serve. It seems to us that the fight will take place in an equal and persistent struggle, there is a high probability of a tie-break. The Australian is considered the favorite, but she often concedes games on her serve, but it is extremely difficult to make a break on the Czech's serve. Here you can safely bet on a plus head start, but a good option will be a total more.
