WTA Nottingham
Yastremska v Maria 1.93
Due to start at 3 pm

Confidence rating 6.5/10 *Maria is in excellent grass form. She took a set from Rybakina in London last week. She seems to ,like conditions at that tournament and was defending champion. Doesn’t reach the same level elsewhere.

Yastremska reached the Final last season. 2 sets win over a lucky loser in the 1st round.

Maria had an easy win over Tjen in the 1st round.
She reached the 2nd round at Queens Club 2026. CH final in July.

12 month grass stats favour Yastremska overall. Good chance of 3 sets.
Lay Maria around 1.55 and remove liability at 2.00.

Match prediction: Yastremska in 3 sets.

Set 1 stats

My confidence rating on this match indicated that I wasn’t certain which way this would go. There had been several players so far this week that were not giving 100% and were probably saving themselves for Wimbledon. I stayed out of the second set.

In the second set, the first 2 games were holds but Yastremska would not hold again. Maria was broken when serving for the set at 5-1.

Maria won 6-1, 6-2.
