Alright sports fans, let's break this one down. We have Bernarda Pera, an unseeded troublemaker going up against Jelena Ostapenko, a 13th seed powerhouse. Ostapenko has been showing her abilities in her recent matches, overpowering her competition and holding no prisoners - except for that mishap with Boulter and Cocciaretto.
Now, Bernarda Pera, she's taken it to the next level recently. She's fought hard and bagged some wins, with her last two victories being three-set thrillers that she managed to pull off. Yet, let's not forget Pera has lost to Ostapenka in the past. Recently, the gladiator from Latvia - Ostapenko, snatched a win from Pera, making this an interesting matchup.
It’s simple mathematics folks, Ostapenko has been performing well, she has had a better tournament seed than her competition, she has dominated Pera before, and theoretically speaking, she should do so again. So, here's the crunch, will Pera take a set from Ostapenko as she did in their previous matchup or will Ostapenko tighten up her game and speed through in straight sets?
Bearing all this in mind, says who sports is unpredictable? Here's the prediction for all you gamblers out there.
Albert's Prediction: Ostapenko in 3 sets.
