The semi-final of the WTA-500 in Eastbourne was very unexpected. In the first match of the ½ final, Camila Georgie played against Anette Kontaveit. The Italian is on the 75th line of the rating. The representative of Estonia is on the 27th place in the world ranking. Judging by this indicator, then Kontaveit will be the favorite. The girls did not meet with each other.
Georgie was able to outplay Plishkova, S. Rogers and Arina Sobolenko. Kontaveit turned out to be stronger than Kuznetsova, Andreescu and Golubich. If judging by the net, then the Italian athlete still has the advantage. As a result, it is worth waiting for a 3-set match.
