Australian Open Women’s Semi-Finals Predictions
—
Best Bet
Elina Rybakina stormed into the Australian Open semifinals with a 2-0 win over Iga Swiatek, and she’s a real threat to win the tournament.
She must get past Jessica Pegula, who also looked good when beating Amanda Anisimova, but Rybakina’s effort was more impressive. She got past a proven grand slam champion, and she didn’t break a sweat in sweeping past for a 7-5, 6-1 win.
We expect her to make the final and hand Pegula a one-sided loss. She is a proven grand slam winner, and although Pegula has upside, the American isn’t on the same level as the favourite.

Next Best
Most of the early money has come for Aryna Sabalenka to make another Australian Open final, but it won’t be easy against a resurgent Elina Svitolina.
The Ukrainian is back in the top 10 following an effortless win over American Coco Gauff on Tuesday night, she barely got out of second gear. She was helped by Gauff playing terribly, but it will give her confidence.
She’s good enough to make Sabalenka sweat, and the two-time champion hasn’t been at her best at times this year. She got past Iva Jovic with ease, which we’re putting down to Jovic’s lack of experience, so backing Sabalenka 2-1 is the best bet.
It pays a healthy $3.80, and that’s an excellent value price.

Despite money coming for Sabalenka to win in straight sets, over 20.5 games has been confidently backed into $1.78.
We expect the match to go for three sets, so we’re confidently backing over 20.5 games. Our final score prediction is 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, which is enough for the over to cash with ease.
They combined for 21 points in their most recent match in Madrid, which was played over two sets. Therefore, that adds weight to our pick, so include over 20.5 games in your Australian Open picks this week.

Value Bet
We recommend betting on Rybakina to win the tournament now. Her odds will firm considerably if she gets past Pegula, and she will likely be a $2.20 underdog against Sabalenka if they make the final.
Therefore, the $3.25 odds are worth taking for the quality player, who is one of the more even-tempered tennis players in the world. She could capitalise on a demonstrative Sabalenka, providing she makes the final, and it’s a good match up.
Take the odds before money comes for her to win with Australian Open outrights.
