Camila Giorgi Preview – Can Italian pull off another upset?
Italy’s Camila Giorgi came up big as an underdog in the Third Round of the Olympics.
She was up against one of the big guns in the draw in the form of Karolina Pliskova.
Giorgi had been a big underdog with the bookies for that match.
But she didn’t bat an eyelid in that big match as she closed things out for a 2-0 victory.
That leaves Giorgi having not lost a set on this route to the Quarter Finals.
In the match outright for Olympic Tennis betting, Giorgi is the 6/5 underdog* (odds taken 23:31 GMT, July 27th 2021 at Ladbrokes).
The Italian is now W7 L3 in her last ten matches and each of the last five wins that she has recorded has been in straight sets.
Giorgi has met Elina Svitolina twice before and from that, the two have traded victories.
But this is the first time that they have met since a clash on the grass at Birmingham in 2017.
Giorgi is ranked just outside of the Top 60 in the World at the moment.
Over 21.5 Games is at a quote of a 5/6 for tennis betting* (odds taken 23:31 GMT, July 27th 2021 at Ladbrokes).
That would support this match going close, and Giorgi potentially has the form to make that happen.
Before the Olympics only twice this season had Giorgi won back to back matches in a tournament.
Elina Svitolina Preview – Can Svitolina keep the energy going?
Obviously, Elina Svitolina is going to be happy with her place in the Quarter Finals of the Olympics.
Given that this tournament has been full of surprises, the Ukrainian has stuck in there.
But all three of her matches have gone to a deciding set.
It’s been more than seven hours that she has spent on the court at the tournament to get through her three matches.
That’s a lot of extra work that she has put in.
With players struggling with the heat out in Japan, the extra work can threaten to unravel the player’s tournament.
Svitolina is the only player left standing in the Quarter Finals who has been to this stage of the Olympics before.
She bowed out of the 2016 Olympics at this stage against Petra Kvitova.
In the match outright for tennis betting Svitolina is a quote of 6/5* (odds taken 23:31 GMT, July 27th 2021 at Ladbrokes).
