WTA Birmingham Tips & Preview | Our Picks For This Week’s Tennis

WTA Nottingham produced a historic all-British final and a first title for Katie Boulter. Who will step up in Birmingham though?

There is no previous champion in the field here and with many big names opting to play in Berlin instead there are definite opportunities for some players to get a lot of good preparation in ahead of Wimbledon.

The British contingent that had such a good time in Nottingham are back in force. Also, competitors from the United States are historically by far the most successful at this tournament, can one of the six Americans in the field make it 17 titles for players from that nation?

WTA Birmingham Betting Tips

Jelena Ostapenko 1pt @ 11/2 with Bet365

The Latvian is by far one of the most talented players in the draw, and she has a good route through to the final. A potential meeting with Camila Giorgi in the second round feels like a blast-a-minute match and if she can hold herself together better than the Italian then she should warm into the tournament.

There are very few tournament winners in the field, so Ostapenko’s experience is worth siding with here.
