French Open 2021 Women’s Semifinals Predictions

Who will win the women’s singles semifinals at the 2021 French Open? Below are our predictions and tips for the same.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova v Tamara Zidansek

This is a first Grand Slam semifinal for both players; one a 32-year-old and the other a 23-year-old. The youth of Zidansek could help her recover quicker from the kind of match that strangely both players endured in the lead-up to this one and we will back her to edge past her opponent here.

Backing a Zidansek win which is at 13/10 with SpreadEx (Join and place a £25 fixed odds bet and get 5 x free £5 fixed odds bet. Read T&Cs here).

Maria Sakkari v Barbora Krejcikova

This would be an interesting one because while Sakkari took out the defending champion and favourite, it might not be easy against a player who has been quietly moving up the charts on clay. Krejcikova is on a 10-match winning run and her only loss in her last 13 matches came to Swiatek – a tough three-setter against a FIT Swiatek that is.

Krejcikova, at 11/8 with SpreadEx looks to be a good bet despite Sakkari’s solid form. (Join SpreadEx & open a spread betting account, earn iPad/up to £300 cashback when you bet on qualifying spreads markets. Read T&Cs here).
