The 2019 Wimbledon women’s semifinals take off with two extremely interesting duels and many ways to make us win.
First, the number seven and eight seed of the WTA ranking face off. Simona Halep looks at Elina Svitolina.
The Romanian comes to eliminate Shuai Zhang in a match that started even, but then finished with a 6-1 that has it in these instances. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian was responsible for leaving out Karolina Muchova.
Both players are in a very good level. Svitolina has only lost two sets so far in the tournament and Halep only one. Added to this, Simona left in the way two very good players as the surprise of the tournament, Cori Gauff and Victoria Azarenka.
On the other hand, it will be the first time they face each other on the grass surface. Since 2013 they have played against each other seven times, but never on grass. The mark in direct confrontations favors Elina with four victories for three of Simona.
Added to this, there is a very marked tendency between both, because Svitolina has achieved its victories with good difference. Therefore, casualties are a good alternative.
In the second match, Serena Williams faces the world’s number 54, Barbora Strycova.
To the surprise of many, the Czech Republic came to this instance with a very good tennis and only allowing a set against everything we have in Wimbledon. On the other side, Serena has been in trouble twice, but managed to resolve and get back into the top four of the English tournament.
These two tennis players already met at Wimbledon. It was in 2012 when the youngest of the Williams was left with the triumph 6-2 and 6-4. Therefore, we can expect a similar story.
