Ashleigh Barty

Due to health problems, Ashleigh Barty was unable to complete the clay part of the season on a positive note. At the last tournaments in Rome and Paris the Australian tennis player withdrew from matches. The pause was good. Ashleigh recovered completely and quite confidently went through the tournament path to the final in London.

Barty gave the only set in the tournament grid in the first round in a confrontation with Carla Suarez-Navarro (6-1, 6-7, 6-1). In the future the first racket of the world went through five matches in the tournament grid without losing games. Rivals were Blinkova, Sinyakova, Kreichikova, Tomlyanovich and Kerber.

In the semifinals Barty went through a real test of strength in the confrontation with the champion of Wimbledon-2018 Angelica Kerber (6-3, 7-6). The German tennis player is in great shape, managed to impose a fight on Ashleigh. But Barty was almost flawless: she gave up her serve only once, won 88% of the points on the first serve, showed an excellent ratio for winners-enforcers (38-16). It is clearly not easy for any opponent on the round to hold back such an Ashleigh.

Karolina Pliskova

Karolina Pliskova was not considered among the main contenders for the title in predictions on the eve of the start of Wimbledon. The thing is that the Czech tennis player looked very unconvincing not in the pre-helmet starts in Berlin and Eastbourne, where she lost in the very first matches.

However, in London Karolina was already played out during the tournament. Her tournament grid was pretty simple until the semifinals: Zidansek, Vekich, Martintsova, Samsonova, Golubich. The Czech tennis player passed all these rivals without a single set.

Karolina's real test of strength was in the semifinals, in a game against the fourth racket of the world, Arina Sobolenko. There were expectations in predictions that Pliskova would not cope with the Belarusian tennis player. However, the Czech played an excellent match and won three sets (5-7, 6-4, 6-4). The key to a successful game is acting reliably on your serve. Arina had only one break point in the first set. In the second and third games Karolina did not even allow her opponent to get close to a possible break. More tennis prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
