Wimbledon Women's Semifinals Best Bets

Elina Svitolina vs Marketa Vondrousova

Marketa Vondrousova has knocked off four seeded players on her path to reach her maiden Wimbledon semifinal. 

Though this isn’t Vondrousova’s first notable achievement – she was the 2019 French Open finalist and the 2020 Olympics silver medalist – it is as far as Wimbledon goes, where her resume leaves much to be desired. Simply put, the Czech barely registered on anybody’s radar in pre-tournament Wimbledon betting. 

Vondrousova upset No. 4 Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals, storming from 1-4 down in the third set to edge the American 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. It marked her second come-from-behind victory after rallying from a set down to defeat compatriot Marie Bouzkova in the R16, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Next up for the 24-year-old Czech is Elina Svitolina, who is flying the Ukrainian flag high at Wimbledon as she reaches her third career major semifinal and second at the All England Club since clearing the hurdle for the first time in 2019. 

Svitolina has been on one hell of a giant-slaying spree at the All England Club, dispatching four former Grand Slam champions in her path all while brandishing a special attacking brand of tennis that is new to her game. 

The 28-year-old Ukrainian dismissed five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in the first round, and then she overcame a couple of former Australian Open champions in Sofia Kenin (R32) and Victoria Azarenka (R16). 

More recently, she upset World No. 1 Iga Swiatek – a four-time Grand Slam champion and the odds-on favorite to win the Wimbledon title – in the quarterfinals 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2,

Svitolina leads the head-to-head series 3-2, but the Czech has won the last two meetings, including their clash in the Olympics semi-finals. And partly, for that reason, the Czech emerges as the slight favorite on the tennis odds board to advance into the final. 

It’s easy to understand why Svitolina’s story has captured the imagination of the tennis world, prompting many pundits to predict another upset here. After all, being the underdog hasn’t stopped Svitolina yet. She was tipped as the underdog in her last four matches only to put paid on her odds, and she has the savvy and experience to do it again. 

But so does Vondrousova who, unlike Svitolina, has made it into a major final. Fade Vondrousova at your peril therefore.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Ons Jabeur

This is the headline act on Thursday’s tennis betting card. With Sabalenka on the cusp of her first Wimbledon final and second major final of the 2023 season, and Jabeur standing just one win away from a second straight Wimbledon final and third career major final.

Aryna Sabalenka made light work of Madison Keys on Wednesday, dispatching the American 6-2, 6-4 to book her place in the semifinals in little over an hour on Centre Court.

Conversely, Ons Jabeur was forced to rally from a set down to upset Elena Rybakina in their highly anticipated rematch of last year’s Wimbledon final in the quarterfinals, 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-1. 

Though Jabeur was delighted to get her revenge over Rybakina, she later admitted in her post-match interview that she “wasn’t happy” to see Sabalenka breeze through her match with an easy win. An understandable sentiment with the ladies facing a quick turnaround, returning the next day for the semi-finals.

Sabalenka’s more straightforward win (and overall straightforward run through the draw) doesn’t help Jabeur’s case. While their matchup was always going to be an uphill battle for the Tunisian, the rest advantage tips the balance conspicuously towards Sabalenka.

The 25-year-old Belarussian is enjoying a banner season, highlighted by her maiden Grand Slam victory at the 2023 Australian Open. And now, with the untimely departures of Swiatek and Rybakina, she finds herself tipped as the favorite at +125 with bet365 to win the Wimbledon title.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Jabeur is an automatic fade for your tennis picks. Her versatility and high tennis IQ makes her a threat to any player. And after upsetting Rybakina, she has established herself as the next-best bet to win the title at +210 with bet365.

All told, this is more of a tossup than the tennis odds would suggest. If Jabeur can keep it close, it could go either way. Thus, expect a tough battle between two players deserving of a spot in the final. May the best player win!
