Roland Garros (French Open) is always the most challenging slam of them all and that’s why it’s no surprise to see all of the top seeds out of the way so far in French Open 2020. Another tournament has come and we think we could see yet another new champion. In Semi Final 1, Poland’s Iga Swiatek is in action, someone who has been flawless so far and has dominated opponents, while also showing the ability to come back from tough spots. The match is scheduled for 8th October 2020.
The Polish contender is just 19 years old and it’s her first ever Grand Slam semi final, so there will be nerves But the good thing about that is that she’s up against a qualifier itself, Argentina’s Nadia Podoroska. The 23-year old has also made an unprecedented run so far, playing 3 qualifier games prior to the main draw beginning and because of that, there may be a slight fatigue factor involved too. Swiatek begins as favourite for this encounter, at odds of 1.22 on the ComeOn! sports betting platform.
Now it’s easy to get carried away and play the underdog, especially since there have been so many upsets so far in the French Open 2020 tournament but let’s look at some of the stats involved. Prior to Podoroska reaching here, no qualifier had ever made the semifinal at Roland-Garros and while she’s ranked as low as 131st in the world as compared to 54th for Swiatek, pre-match odds of 4.40 with ComeOn! on Podoroska look slightly tempting.

Prior to this, Podoroska had never reached Round 2 of any grand slam so she has already reached a stage much higher than she would’ve expected. She knocked out Elina Svitolina in straight sets in the quarter-final game, ending the latter’s 8-match winning streak. However, Swiatek was up against Martina Trevisan prior to this, and tamed one raging run already. We think she can do so again.
While Swiatek is not good value for this particular match, let’s back her for the rest of the tournament itself, up at odds of 2.25 to go on to win the French Open 2020 Women’s title. ComeOn! has a smooth interface and easy deposit options in case you wish to back Swiatek to go all the way. In case she wins today, she will face the winner of Danielle Rose Collins & Sofia Kenin and Petra Kvitova & Laura Siegemund.
French Open 2020 so far
Like we mentioned, Swiatek has been flawless so far and in fact, she’s yet to drop a set in the 2020 French Open, coming back from 1-3 in the first set to win in the quarter final against Trevisan. In fact, none of her sets have even gone to a tie breaker so far this tournament, beating number one seed Simon Halep pretty easily in Round 4, before which she beat Canada’s Eugiene Bouchard. Back her to get a straight sets win at 1.62 with ComeOn!

Podoroska has also beat a couple of seeded players, defeating Yulia Putintseva in three sets in Round 2 while also getting past number #3 seed Elina Svitolina in straight sets in the quarter final. Apart from the Putintseva game, she dropped a set in her game against Barbora Krejcikova. Her stats stand at 43-6 across all levels so far this season and has more than doubled her career earnings in the last 10 days!
Swiatek vs Podoroska head to head
These two are yet to meet in a head-to-head game but we think Swiatek is rightfully the favourite and will improve her chances of winning a maiden grand slam title by winning this semi final game against Podoroska. Like we mentioned above, Swiatek is a good option to win in straight sets at 1.62 with ComeOn! and you shouldn’t wait too long in you’re doing tennis live betting, because she could run away with this game soon!
