Ons Jabeur Preview – Jabeur to march on to Final?
World number two Ons Jabeur is the red-hot favourite for this Wimbledon Semi Final.
This is the first time that she has landed herself in the final four at a Grand Slam.
Last year at Wimbledon she had made a Quarter Final exit.
Heading into Thursday’s Semi Final, Jabeur is the 1/8 odds-on favourite in Wimbledon betting odds* (odds recorded 10:50 GMT on July 6th, 2022 at William Hill).
Jabeur booked her spot in the last four with a Quarter Final success over Marie Bouzkova.
She did drop the opening set of the match, the first time in this draw that she has let one go.
But the response to that was impressive. Jabeur closed out the match 6-1 6-1.
Ons Jabeur has met Tatjana Maria three times before and is up in the head-to-head 2-1.
The most recent meeting that they had was back in Beijing in 2018 in a qualifying round.
This year’s win/loss record for Jabeur was 30/9 before Wimbledon.
That includes two tiles that she has picked up along the way.
Tatjana Maria Preview – Can outsider defy the odds?
Ranked outside of the top 100, Germany’s Tatjana Maria is a surprise semi-finalist.
The mum-of-two has gone above and beyond her previous track record at Slams.
Only once in her career had she made it past the Second Round of a Slam.
That was when she took a Third Round exit at Wimbledon in 2015.
So this really has been a run that she has put together out of the blue.
In the match outright for Wimbledon tennis betting, the win for Maria is at 5/1* (odds recorded 10:50 GMT on July 6th, 2022 at William Hill).
That’s some hefty odds to defy.

Tatjana Maria has pulled off some impressive wins during this run, however.
It hasn’t been plain sailing at all for the Germans.
As early as the Third Round she met 5th seed Maria Sakkarri and won in straight sets.
Then in the following round, she knocked over 12th seed Jelena Ostapenko after dropping the first set.
Maria again had to show some fight after losing the first set in her Quarter Final against compatriot Jule Niemeier.
Ons Jabeur vs Tatjana Maria Betting Advice
This run to the Wimbledon Semi Finals is a dream for Tatjana Maria who isn’t a player you would have picked out at the start of the draw to be here.
It’s been fantastic, spirited and at times, wonderfully high-quality stuff from her.
But this is likely where her journey ends because she has to try and find a way to stop the red-hot Jabeur.
