THE PREDICTION
World number 17 Jelena Ostapenko should be considered a dark horse for the title tis fortnight after winning her second WTA title on grass at the Birmingham Classic. The 26-year-old is a former Grand Slam champion after blasting through the draw at Roland-Garros at 20 years old in 2017 and she reached the semi-finals here a year later, with Wimbledon seeing her most consistent success over the years. World number 37 Sorana Cirstea has upset a few players on tour this season, with a huge run to the semi-finals of the Miami Open seeing wins over Carolina Garcia, Karolina Muchova and Aryna Sabalenka. The 33-year-old ousted last summer’s surprise semi-finalist Tatjana Maria in three sets in the first round to look competitive here but Ostapenko recently beat the Romanian in three sets in Rome to take a 3-0 lead in their head-to-head record. Back Ostapenko to win outright here with straight sets just-about likelier than three.
