WTA - WTA Libema Open
Prediction :
Elena-Gabriela Ruse to win
Just who will be the unseeded player who reaches the Libema Open final? Unseeded Elisabetta Cocciaretto takes on qualifier Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the last four of this outdoor grass court tournament. Here's our match prediction.
For the winner of this match, there's a final against either second seed Ekaterina Alexandrova or third-seeded Elise Mertens.
Cocciaretto is 103rd in the live rankings and a win over Ruse will take Cocciaretto into her first grass court final. The 24-year-old is yet to lose a set this week. Of the six she's played, four have been won either 7-5 or by a tie-break. A side bet on a set with either of those two scores could be successful.
Elena-Gabriela Ruse is also attempting to make it into her first grass court final. This surface hasn't always been successful for the German and six visits to Wimbledon have seen her fail to get past round one.
This week has seen her win five matches after coming through the qualifiers. The 27-year-old is yet to drop a set or lose more than four games in a set. Friday saw her get a good win over Bianca Andreescu and is now 65th in the live rankings. We tip her to beat Cocciaretto.
