JELENA OSTAPENKO v SIMONA HALEP BETTING PREVIEW 

Jelena Ostapenko celebrated her 20th birthday by storming into the finals of the 2017 French Open with a nerve-wracking 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-3 victory over Timea Bacsinszky on Thursday. She has already taken three seeded opponents out of the tournament, but No. 11 seed Caroline Wozniacki may be the toughest challenge she's faced thus far.

Jelena Ostapenko's Route to the final

• R1: 4-6 6-3 6-3 Chirico
• R2: 6-3 6-2 Puig
• R3: 6-1 6-4 Tsurenko
• R4: 2-6 6-2 6-4 Stosur
• QF: 4-6 6-2 6-2 Wozniacki
• SF: 7-6 3-6 6-3 Bacsinszky

Ostapenko became the youngest finalist at any major since Caroline Wozniacki in New York eight years ago and can become the first unseeded woman to lift the Suzanne Lenglen Cup since 1933. In order to defeat Halep, the young Latvian needs to get a grip of her game and lessen her miscues. She committed a whopping 45 unforced errors in the win against Bacsinszky. Anyway, Ostapenko appears to be able to hit through anybody with her powerful groundstrokes.

Simona Halep is coming off a three set thrilling victory (6-4, 3-6, 6-3) over Karolina Pliskova on Thursday. Nowhere was her tenacity and ability to soak up punishment more apparent than in the quarter-finals when she trailed Elina Svitolina by a set and 5-1 but somehow found a way to win.

Simona Halep's Route to the final

• R1: 6-2 6-3 Cepelova
  R2: 6-4 6-3 Maria
  R3: 6-0 7-5 Kastkina
  R4: 6-1 6-1 Suarez Navarro
  QF: 3-6 7-6 6-0 Svitolina
  SF: 6-4 3-6 6-3 Pliskova

The Romanian can become world No. 1 for the first time with a win – Angelique Kerber will remain top of the rankings if she loses. She has recently reached the semis at Stuttgart, won Madrid and reached the final at Rome. Key for Halep this coming Saturday is her first serve. She is fifth in this year’s French Open in first serve percentage with an incredible 77 percent clip.
