Before Betting On Ana Bogdan vs Lesia Tsurenko

Competitive action in the women’s third round takes place at Wimbledon on Friday, as court 14 will see Lesia Tsurenko and Ana Bogdan lock horns. Bogdan currently sits 57th in the official world rankings, and she will be looking to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career. She has been on an excellent upward trajectory this calendar year, as she broke back into the top 60 in the world rankings and reached the third round of a WTA 1000 event for the first time.

The 30-year-old has dropped just a set at the championships this year, and she caused a shock in the opening round after seeing off 15th seed Liudmila Samsonova. That performance was backed up by another fine showing in the second round, as she managed to overcome big-serving American player Alycia Parks.

Lesia Tsurenko is always a player I like at Wimbledon, as she holds an excellent ability on the grass surface. The 34-year-old has reached the third round in each of the last two years at Wimbledon, and has shown quality already in Grand Slam competition this year after reaching the fourth round at the French Open.

Tsurenko showed her battling qualities in the opening round, as she won a deciding set against Claire Liu to reach the second round. However, she was able to raise her performance level in the previous round, as she landed a straight sets win over Katerina Siniakova. In that win, she won an impressive 63% of the points on her second serve, and hit 70 winners.
