Kanepi – Ostapenko: tennis prediction. WTA Tallinn

Forecast and bet on Kanepi – Ostapenko. In one of the most interesting and unpredictable matches of the first round of the tournament in Tallinn on September 28, Kaia Kanepi and Elena Ostapenko will play. Who is more likely to win?

Kaya Kanepi

Kaya Kanepi did not perform anywhere on the tour after US Open. The home tournament in Tallinn will be her first in three weeks. Recall that in New York, the 37-year-old tennis player in the second round was defeated by Arina Sobolenko (6-2, 6-7, 4-6), although she led 5-1 in the second set.
In general, Kanepi spends a fairly successful season. In total, she has 26 wins since the beginning of the year with 15 losses. On hard, the tennis player was able to get into the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, and also played in the Final of the tournament in Washington.

Elena Ostapenko

Elena Ostapenko played unsuccessfully at the US Open, losing in the first round to Zheng Jingwen (3-6, 6-3, 4-6). It turned out to be rehabilitated last week in Seoul. With far from the most convincing game, the Latvian tennis player at those competitions managed to get into the final, where she could not cope with Alexandrova (6-7, 0-6).
In 2022, Ostapenko has 30 wins and 16 losses on his account in the tour. In February, on hard, she managed to win a tournament in Dubai. True, in the last four starts, except for Seoul, Elena did not go further than the second round anywhere.

Prediction for tennis Kanepi – Ostapenko.

Ostapenko will play in Tallinn after a difficult week in Seoul. At the same time, the organizers put her match on Wednesday, so, in general, there was enough time for preparation. In terms of potential, Elena is hardly inferior to Kaya. Moreover, Kanepi was almost a month without playing practice. We think that taking into account the quoted quotes in this pair, it is worth playing a bet on the underdog.

Our prediction: Ostapenko win with odds 2.44 at Pinnacle bookmaker

Both tennis players are not stable. So, in three of the last five matches of Kanepi, tie-breaks were played. Ostapenko last week in Seoul in three of the five matches played exchanged won sets with rivals. We expect that today’s fight will turn out to be a long one.
