Miami Open Women’s Singles Final
Jelena Ostapenko vs Sloane Stephens
We are looking at the young stars that will carry tennis to greater heights when the current generation of tennis stars decide to hang up their rackets.
Jelena Ostapenko and Sloane Stephens enjoyed breakout seasons in 2017: the Latvian was the first unseeded player to win the French Open since 1933 while the American won her first Grand Slam at the US Open.
Live betting circles are starting to take notice of these two strong players, and you can expect betting odds for this match to be quite as spectacular.
Both of these women took down impressive competition in order to reach the final. Stephens had to take down Gabriñe Muguruza, beat Angelique Kerber, and struggle against Victoria Azarenka in order to reach the final. While Ostapenko won all of her games in straight sets, she didn’t have an easy time fighting against Petra Kvitova, Elina Svitolina and Danielle Collins.
If we base it off their semi-final performances, the 20-year-old Latvian has the advantage. Ostapenko managed to stave Collins’ run in the first set and completely overwhelm her in the second. Meanwhile, Stephens had a slow start against Azarenka before finding her footing and completely dominating her opponent.
It is important for the 25-year-old American to keep her serves as her opponent will be hard to break. I won’t be surprised if this game goes down to the wire, but we can be sure that fans all over the world will be entertained by what these young stars will be showing us.
