Williams vs Halep 2019 Wimbledon Women’s Finals Odds & Pick

Why Serena Williams is a good bet -208?

During her run to the Wimbledon Finals, Serena’s taken apart every opponent she’s faced. She has only lost 2 sets in 6 matches at Wimbledon. The first set she lost happened in Round 2 when facing Kaja Juvan. The second she lost happened versus Alison Riske in the quarterfinals.

Williams has been so good that she shows up an over -200 favorite to beat higher seeded Simona Halep. Serena went about her business in the impressive 6-1, 6-2 victory versus Barbora Strykova. When Williams is at her best, no women’s tennis player on the planet can touch her.

Form Last 5

  • W vs Barbora Strykova
  • W vs Alison Riske
  • W vs (30) Carla Suarez Navarro
  • W vs (18) Julia Georges
  • W vs Kaja Juvan

Why Simona Halep is a good bet +152?

Halep had a decent 2018, winning the French Open and finishing in the Australian Open Finals. She wasn’t nearly as dominant to start 2019. However, here she is, ready to take on the greatest women’s tennis player in history for her second major title.

Does Halep have any chance of beating Serena? A case can be made that Halep battled much tougher opponents on her way to the finals. The more battle-tested Halep could pick up her game enough to upset Williams on Saturday.

Form Last 5

  • W vs (8) Elina Svitolina
  • W vs Cori Gauff
  • W vs Victoria Azarenka
  • W vs Mihaela Buzarnescu
  • W vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich

Williams vs Halep 2019 Wimbledon Women’s Finals Betting Analysis

Serena has looked good during this tournament, but it feels like this is Simona’s time. She beat Victoria Azarenka in Round 3, sent 15-year-old tennis phenom Cori Gauff home in the fourth round, and then got past Shuai Zhang in the quarterfinals.

She battled excellent player Elina Svitolina in the semis. Halep easily handled Svitolina 6-1, 6-3. In the semis, there’s no doubt that she battled a much tougher opponent than Serena Williams. The real knock is that Williams has owned Halep in the head-to-head, beating her in 9-of-10. We can overlook that because Simona might be hitting her peak as a professional. Halep gets the nod in what should be a great tennis match.
