You can admit that you knew it was coming! Darja Semenistaja is still alive at the Argentina Open and we are discussing a quarterfinal match with the Latvian favored to reach the semis.

At odds ranging up to -250, the average line for the Latvian to win this quarterfinal affair is listed at -235, which depends on your book.

We’ve been covering Semenistaja since the Colina Challenger and I regret leaving the Over 2.5 sets prop off the board in her last outing against Emiliana Arango. I thought Darja would have an easier time with the Colombian but that wasn’t the case as the match went into a third frame.

Semenistaja won the first set, 6 – 4, and was up 5 – 4 in the second set with a hold of serve to win the match. I spoke of the breaks of serve we would see in Semenistaja’s first match against Chwalinska and for the second time there were 11 breaks in her second-round clash with Arango. 

Semenistaja was broken serving for the second set at 5 – 4 and broke again to end the set which went to a 7 – 5 decision that forced a third frame.

Kawa’s two matches in Argentina have gone the distance and Semenistaja has been pushed to three sets en route to her two wins in Buenos Aires. I expect to see it happen again and the +150 offer on the Over 2.5 sets prop from Pinnacle suits me fine!

DARJA SEMENISTAJA RECENT FORM

Darja Semenistaja improved to 8 – 3 over the last 11 outings after the second-round win over Arango at the Argentina Open.

KAWA VS SEMENISTAJA HTH –  STAT OF THE MATCH

Katarzyna Kawa has defeated Darja Semenistaja twice in three meetings in the last year.

Kawa won both clashes in 2023 and after Semenistaja won the first set at the Warsaw Challenger in July the Polska native retired from the match. The first set went to a tie-break which Semenistaja won, 7 – 6, and the second set was never started as Kawa left the court early.

The winner of this quarterfinal affair at the Argentina Open will face either Maria Lourdes Carle or Julia Riera in the semifinals. Check out Ej’s prediction for that affair on the site today.
