Ons Jabeur vs Tatjana Maria Wimbledon 2022: How and where to watch online for free, 7 July

Wimbledon produces a cluster of exciting athletes that have graced the tennis stage in full flow once again, making us watch some of the most versatile maneuvers that are out there. The Grand Slam has witnessed Novak Djokovic pushed to his limits by Jannik Sinner, Carlos Goffin playing back-to-back five-set marathons, and what-not. In this game of the Semi-Finals, Ons Jabeur will take on Tatjana Maria on 7 July @ 03:30 PM (+03:00 UTC). Ons comes into this game after avoiding a scare versus Marie Bouzkova, winning 3-6, 6-1, 6-1. Meanwhile, Tatjana Maria outlasted Julie Niemeier 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. Jabeur has been in impeccable touch since the beginning of the tournament and has expressed the desire to win the title whereas Tatjana Maria shocked herself by making the Semis. Who will display more pressure here? Will this be a nail-baiter?

Jabeur looked too anxious to try different things during her last game against Bouzkova. The first set loss was the first she lost a set during the tournament. During that set loss, Ons was getting beat on her game even when Marie wasn’t doing a great job of serving the ball. Then Jabeur started to hold serve and employed her strong forehand in full effect. Jabeur started to dictate the net game and also changed the speeds wonderfully as she has done all campaign long.

This is the first time that Ons has made it to the Semis of a Grand Slam and it is clear that she is at the peak of her game. For all her talents and gifts plus her radiant persona, Jabeur has the tendency to think too much and try too many things, which leads her to tricky territories, something that happened in the first set during the Marie tussle. Can Ons figure out a way out of this weakness? Because her forehand and the versatile toolkit are clicking and looking like title worthy.

Not many people would have thought that veteran Tatjana Maria will make it this far into the Grand Slam. Maria showed her amazing grit in the last game, Niemeier had her down a set and then took a lead to start in the second set over the compatriot. But that didn’t stall Maria from making a remarkable comeback. Tatjana ground her way out and then after another tough set, completed a win. Tatjana won 65-56 service points and 44-41 receiving points in another exciting game of the Slam.

That was not the first time that Tatjana completed a comeback. She has done a remarkable job against Jelena Ostapenko as well, beating another tough competitor. Maria also pushed Sakkari away, defeated Sorena Cirstea, and had a grueling three-set win against Astra Sharma to begin the campaign. She has had to win seven games in the last set for four games in a row.. It clearly indicates that the German player has been willing her way.

Context

Tatjana has consistently beaten the odds but one thing is clear, all the players she faced before don’t have the same amount of ascendancy on grass as Jabeur and neither were as versatile. This is in no way a knock on what Maria has achieved, she has really overcome opponents given better odds than her and all of them pushed her to the limit. Ons has disposed of matters quickly relatively even in the win against Marie where she lost the first set. Can Maria craft another improbable script?

Win/Loss Betting

As per bookmakers at 1xBet, Ons Jabeur has the odds of 1.165 to win the game while Tatjana has improbable odds of 6.3. Can Maria beat the odds again?

Total Games

Usually, things haven’t lasted long when Ons has taken the center stage and that can well be the case here. However, Tatjana’s garnered a lot of gritty wins and she can force another three-set affair. That is why I see the total going over 19.5 which has the odds of 2.13.
