Elina Svitolina vs Olga Danilovic prediction and betting tips - April 20, 2025
Elina Svitolina
Olga Danilovic
On April 20, the tennis tournament in Rouen will host the final, featuring a clash between Elina Svitolina and Olga Danilovic. Here is my betting tip for this encounter.
Elina Svitolina
The Ukrainian tennis player is well-known in the tennis world; although she hasn't won any Grand Slams, she has claimed victory at the WTA Finals. This season, Svitolina is displaying a solid level of tennis, and if she loses, it's mostly to strong opponents. Being the top seed in Rouen, it's no surprise she has reached the final.
Svitolina has confidently defeated all her opponents without dropping a set, overcoming: Jil Teichmann, Angelina Kalinina, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, and Gabriela Ruse. The 30-year-old Ukrainian is ranked 18th in the world.
Olga Danilovic
The Serbian tennis player was seeded third in this tournament, so her reaching the final is also not accidental. The 24-year-old Danilovic is ranked 39th in the world. She is on a fantastic nine-match winning streak, having won a Challenger in Turkey before Rouen.
In this tournament, Danilovic faced challenges, defeating Krunic, Linda Fruhvirtova, and Uchijima in three sets. Only in the semifinals did she beat the Dutch player Lamens in two sets. The final will be against her strongest opponent yet, and it's crucial for her to showcase her best tennis to have a chance at victory.
Match facts
- Svitolina has won 17 out of 23 matches this season.
- Danilovic has played 18 matches, winning 13 of them.
- The odds for this match are: Svitolina to win – 1.34, Danilovic to win – 3.5.
Prediction
The Ukrainian has confidently navigated the tournament and is considered the favorite in this pairing. Danilovic is in good form too, but she hasn't faced opponents of Svitolina's caliber in a while. The players have never faced each other before. Women's tennis is always unpredictable, but here I expect the favorite to have the edge, so I'm taking a risky bet on the Ukrainian to win with a -5.5 game handicap.
