Elina Svitolina vs Olga Danilovic Prediction 4/20/25 Rouen Tennis Picks

Elina Svitolina and Olga Danilovic meet in the final of the 2025 WTA Rouen Open on Sunday, April 20, 2025. Here’s our Elina Svitolina vs Olga Danilovic prediction. This preview will also include an Elina Svitolina vs Olga Danilovic pick.

Elina Svitolina Preview

Elina Svitolina progressed into her first final in Rouen after another devastating performance. The Ukrainian demolished Romania’s Elena Gabriel Rus 6-0, 6-2 for her fourth straight sets win of the week. In the first round, Svitolina defeated Jil Teichmann 6-4, 6-2. In the second round, she beat countrywoman Anhelina Kalinina 6-4, 6-0. Svitolina dropped five games to Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in a 6-3, 6-2 quarterfinal win.

Svitolina is now 4-0 on clay, having opted to start her clay-court swing in Rouen this week. She is on a six-match winning streak, which includes two singles wins in the Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers this past week where she helped her country reach the Finals later this season. Svitolina is a 17-time champion on the WTA Tour, although her last title win was in 2023 in Strasbourg.

Olga Danilovic Preview

Olga Danilovic reached her fourth career WTA final in Rouen. To get there, Danilovic started the week with a battling three-set win over compatriot Aleksandra Krunic. In the second round, she defeated Czech teenager Linda Fruhvirtova 6-2, 3-6, 6-4. Danilovic earned her third three-set win of the week in the quarterfinal against Moyuka Uchijima.

In the semifinal, she topped Suzan Lamens 6-4, 6-4. Danilovic has lifted two WTA titles, the first as a teenager in Moscow seven years ago, and clinched her second last season in Guangzhou. This season, she won the WTA 125K in Antalya just before going to Rouen. She is on a nine-match winning streak. The Serbian left hander is guaranteed a new career high ranking of No. 34 after the tournament, and Top 30 breakthrough if she wins the title.

Svitolina and Danilovic have not met at any level. This will be their first career meeting.

Elina Svitolina vs Olga Danilovic Prediction

We’ve got a fitting finale here in Rouen with two in-form women competing for the title. Svitolina is unbeaten in six matches while Danilovic will put her nine-match win streak on the line on Sunday. With Svitolina, she’s the known quantity in this matchup and final, having been in this stage before and knows how to play when the margins tighten. So, she can navigate in these waters (she’s a 17-time WTA titlist).

But Danilovic cannot be counted out here, and at +230 odds, she’s not getting a lot of respect from the bookies. We think she offers massive value considering her explosive return to form in 2025, beating established names like Samsonova and Pegula. Sometimes finals are not determined by form and pedigree, but by moments. One good serving day and one more fearless performance are what Danilovic will be aiming for as her energy tank gets depleted.
