The quarterfinals in the women’s side of the Wimbledon draw get underway on Court One on Wednesday, with two players seeded outside of the top ten competing for their spot in the semi-finals. Jelena Ostapenko may be a narrow favorite in the betting for this showdown against Barbora Krejcikova.
Before Betting On Jelena Ostapenko vs Barbora Krejcikova
Just three wins stand between players in the women’s quarterfinals and immortality as a Grand Slam champion at Wimbledon. Jelena Ostapenko knows what it takes to win a Grand Slam title, having won the French Open back in 2017. However, she has never gone any further than the semi-final stage at Wimbledon.
Her return to form this year at the Grand Slam isn’t all that surprising, as she does boast an excellent game for the grass courts. The Latvian player has been excellent throughout the competition to this point, winning all four of her matches without dropping a set. Her dominant sequence continued in the previous round with a straight sets win over Yulia Putintseva.
Barbora Krejcikova is a player that is always competitively priced in the Grand Slam betting, as she is largely consistent after reaching at least the quarterfinal stage on four occasions since the start of 2021. That includes Grand Slam success at the French Open in 2021. However, she has never reached this stage at Wimbledon, with her previous best showing coming when reaching the last eight.
After surviving a three-set match in the opening round, she has grown into the competition brilliantly, knocking out eleventh-seed Danielle Collins in the previous round with a battling display. This is another step up, but her strong win percentage on first serves could be a telling factor to consider when assessing the most likely outcome on Wednesday.

Ostapenko has won five of the previous seven meetings between these players, which is a damning trend that Krejcikova must overcome on Wednesday. However, a chance could be taken on the Czech player, who is playing some of her best tennis since 2021.
