Paula Badosa vs Olga Danilovic prediction
Badosa has hit 94 winners in her three matches. She has won 231 points in her matches so far which takes her winners ratio to 41 percent. On the other hand, Danilovic has hit 89 winners in her 198 points, taking her winners ratio to 45 percent. On serve the Spaniard has won 69 percent of her first serve points, whereas the Serb has won 74 percent of her first serve points.
It is on the return wing that Danilovic has performed better than Badosa significantly so far. The Serb has conceded only 9 break points in three matches, being broken only twice. On the other hand, Badosa has faced 20 break points on her serve, with the eleventh seed being broken six times in the tournament so far.
If Danilovic can create pressure on the Badosa serve, then the Serbian might find a way past her opponent. However, given the Spaniard's form over the past few months, it is difficult to not see her win the match and reach her third Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Pick- Badosa to win in three sets
