Why Bet on Lesia Tsurenko?

Lesia Tsurenko eclipsed the Ukrainian derby when she faced the No. 29 seed Anhelina Kalinina in the second round. The veteran had to use her experience to bounce back from a 3-6 defeat in the first set. She pulled herself together and won two-straight sets, 6-4 and 6-3, to make her way to the next round. It was a painstaking match for both as the match finished after two and a half hours of play.

If Tsurenko manages to get past Jule Niemeier in the third round, she achieves something that 101st-ranked players have never done before. We’ve seen momentum come from her when she reached the Eastbourne quarterfinal as a qualifier after upset wins against Camila Osorio, Elena Rybakina, Heather Watson, and Magda Linette. Moreover, she cleared the qualifying matches to secure a main draw in Birmingham prior to that.

It’s been a journey of ups and downs for the 33-year-old. She did drop games in the early rounds of 2022 tournaments, while her last singles title came in over four years ago and the most recent WTA final coming in January 2019.

Why Bet on Jule Niemeier?

The German faced her first-ever top-ten opponent and exceeded expectations after taking down No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit 6-4, 6-0, in under an hour. This highlights significant improvement from the 22-year-old, since she’s known to struggle against top 20 opposition. Still and all, she made no mistake in closing out a career-best win, rushing a victory to proceed to the third round.

This time last year, Niemeier also played some of the best tennis we’ve seen for her at the Wimbledon qualifying. However, she missed two match points against Natalia Vikhlyantseva in the final round. She had to hang on until Roland Garros last June to make her first appearance in a Grand Slam main draw. This was followed by her biggest title so far at the Makarska WTA 125.

Ranked at No. 97, Niemeier’s season already features an ITF and a Challenger title with a 25-13 record to her name. Despite finding most of her 2022 success in low-tier events, the recent win assures that her grass performances took a turn for the better.

Lesia Tsurenko vs. Jule Niemeier Expert Betting Prediction

This pairing can go either way. Niemeier’s recent success against a top-ten is not a sure-fire indication of her advantage. Yes, it pumps more confidence into her, but Tsurenko is a player that packs plenty of experience. The latter might have more tricks up her sleeve and use that to close down the gaps. However, there is also no guarantee that the same goes for her Ukrainian opponent. Despite picking up the pace on grass, there have been erratic moments where she lost touch. Ultimately, expect a tight clash between the two.
