Jaber - Maria: forecast and bet on the Wimbledon semifinals

On July 7, at 15-30 Moscow time, Jaber will play against Maria in the semifinals of Wimbledon. Will the German continue to surprise? Will she be able to beat the second racket of the world? Bookmakers don't believe in sensationalism.

Ons Gill

Jaber is a 27–year-old tennis player from Tunisia, the second racket of the world. She performed powerfully on the ground (three finals, one title), but unexpectedly lost in the first round at Roland Garros. She has not lost a single match on grass so far: she won a trophy in Berlin, and at Wimbledon she gave only a game to Bouzkova in the 1/4 finals (3-6, 6-1, 6-1). I started with three easy wins, and in the 1/8 finals I had to work hard to beat Mertens: 7-6, 6-4.

Tatiana Maria

Maria is a 34–year-old German tennis player, the 103rd racket of the world. At the end of her career, she decided to take a shot: she won a tournament in Bogota (this is her second trophy in her career), and now she was able to reach the semifinals of Wimbledon, which she could only dream of, because she never got further than the third round at the TBSH. The grid was not the easiest, because she knocked out three seeds from the competition, including the 5th racket of the world – Sakkari. Interestingly, she beat her in two games, but the rest of her rivals – in a hard fight and in three sets, and three victories were strong-willed.

Personal meeting statistics

The only face-to-face meeting remained for the German: 6-1, 6-4. It was the first round match of the Linz tournament in 2017.

Interesting facts:

• Prior to the current season, Maria's best result at the TBS was the 3rd round at Wimbledon in 2015.
• Last season, the German did not play a single match in the main draw of WTA tournaments, starting with the WTA-250 category.
• For the first time in her career, Jaber made it to the semifinals of the TBSH.
• The Onc's winning streak is 10 duels.

Forecast from LiveResult.ru

The 34-year-old German, of course, is impressive. Not only did she win the title this season, but she also reached the semifinals at Wimbledon, showing character and putting maximum effort in each match. However, it is unlikely that she will be able to continue "working miracles", because Jaber has been showing tennis of the highest class for several months, which allowed her to climb to second place in the WTA ranking. On top of everything else, the Ons has not lost 10 fights in a row, and all on the grass. We are leaning towards a confident and easy victory for Tunisia.
