Krejcikova-Sakkari: forecast and bet on the semi-final of Roland Garros

On June 10, at 17-30 Moscow time, Krejcikova will fight Sakkari in the semi-finals of Roland Garros. Will Maria be able to stop the Czech? Bookmakers believe in the Greek tennis player.

Barbora Krejcikova

Krejcikova is ranked 33rd in the WTA rankings. She could have been eliminated from Roland Garros at the start, but she was able to turn the tide against Kristina Pliskoi: 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. Then there were three easy confident victories, including over Svitolina (6-3, 6-2). In the 1/4 final, Barbora not without problems defeated Gauff: 7-6, 6-3. The Czech won the first set by a miracle: she lost 0-3, lost 3-5, and played 5 sets. The second game was also not boring: Krejcikova led 5-0, lost three games in a row, and took the match only from the 6th matchball.

Maria Sakkari

Sakkari is on the 18th line of the world ranking. At Roland Garros, she started with two easy wins (over Zavatskaya and Paolini), and in the 3rd round, not without problems, she dealt with Mertens: 7-5, 6-7, 6-2. In the second game, Maria was two points away from winning the match (5-4 and "0-30" on the Belgian's serve), but everything had to be decided in the 3rd set. After that, the Greek woman clearly dealt with the tennis players from the TOP 10: American Kenin gave only 4 games (6-1, 6-3), and Polish Sviatek – only 4 points in the second set (6-4, 6-4).

Personal meeting statistics

The only face-to-face meeting remained for Krejcikova (6-2, 7-6), and it took place 3 months ago at the tournament in Dubai (1st round).

Interesting facts:

• Both girls reached the semifinals of the TBSH for the first time in their careers.
• Krejcikova's winning streak is 10 matches.
• On the way to the semifinals, both girls lost only one set each.

Forecast from LiveResult.ru

Both tennis players are now on the move: Barbora won the tournament in Strasbourg the day before and continues to win on the courts of Paris, and Maria played out in earnest already at Roland Garros, and in the 1/4 final stopped last year's champion-Sviatek, who, moreover, this year won the WTA-1000 tournament in Rome. Krejcikova is a fighter, capable of showing character, and Sakkari is an energetic tennis player who likes to take risks and be active, and if the game is going on, it is extremely difficult to stop it, and especially now. We believe that Barbora will give the fight, but the Greek tennis player will win it.
