Elina Svitolina v Johanna Konta Head to Head
Svitolina holds a 4-0 lead over Konta, last defeating her in the Rogers Cup last season. All of their matches have come on the hard courts and the Ukranian has dominated every single one of them.
Konta Carves a Massive Win
Heading into her fourth-round bout against Karolina Pliskova here, Johanna Konta had slim chances of making it through. And yet, against all odds, she knocked out the former US Open runner-up in three-sets after staging a comeback.
That was a big win for the Brit, who has now reached her second consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal on the tour. To reach this point, she has had to move past the likes of Daria Kasatkina, Margarita Gasparyan, and Shuai Zhang. In many ways, this result comes as a surprise given that in the Rogers Cup and Cincinnati Open, she fell in the first round itself.
So far this season, Konta has been nothing but impressive. She was the finalist in the Morocco Open and Italian Open, where she delivered a few, impressive results. All of this came after a very harrowing start to the year, where the Brit No. 1 struggled to get wins.
Svitolina, with Another High-Quality Win
In her fourth-round bout, Elina Svitolina defeated Madison Keys in straight sets – a player who just won the Cincinnati Open. Similar to Konta, that win also marked the second time in a row that the Ukrainian has made it this far in a Grand Slam.
She has had a very comfortable run here, defeating the likes of Venus Williams and Dayana Yastremska, without dropping a single set. Even though Svitolina hasn’t managed a title this season, she has still been in astounding form with penultimate runs in big events.
Currently ranked World No. 5, she reached the semifinal in the Wimbledon and the quarterfinal in Toronto. Apart from that, she also had blazing runs towards the start of the season.
Svitolina v Konta Tips & Predictions
This is one tie that can very well go either way. Konta, as clinical and efficient she may be, will be at a psychological disadvantage due to her 4-0 lag in the head to head tally. However, she has the skills and experience needed to take on someone as aggressive and talented as Svitolina. All in all, we have a sensational tie in our hands!
Tip: Over 19.5 games in the match: 19/20 (888Sport)
