THE PREDICTION
Former world number one Simona Halep has got her grass swing underway well after a disappointing turn on the clay, beating both Lesia Tsurenko and Harriet Dart this week without dropping a set. The 30-year-old is the clear favourite to lift what would be her 24th WTA title come Sunday amongst the remaining players in the draw but there are still plenty of threats to face, including the sudden form of home hopeful Katie Boulter. The world number 141 is also yet to drop a set this week having taken out the tougher foes in Nottingham Open runner-up Alison Riske and former world number four Carolina Garcia. 25-year-old Boulter will be backed to the hilt here, although Halep is a respected and well-loved champion who is unlikely to find a partisan atmosphere on Friday. Still, Boulter’s results this week suggest backing Halep to win outright is the sensible call with three sets just about probable enough for caution.
