Jelena Ostapenko vs Taylor Townsend prediction
Jelena Ostapenko, a quarter-finalist here in 2023 didn’t drop a set in round one and will want to continue in that same vein here, with Taylor Townsend her latest opponent. Townsend is currently the world number one in doubles, but don’t underestimate her ability in the singles format. The Chicago native got the better of Antonia Ruzic in straight sets and has made the fourth round previously in this competition.
Townsend’s big serve will be hard for Ostapenko to counter, although the latter’s all-round game is stronger than that of Townsend in singles, which evens things out here. That makes backing over 21.5 total games a shrewd move because the likelihood is that we will see plenty of service holds over the course of this match.
