Elina Rybakina (3) defending champion vs Beatriz Haddad Maia (13) H2H Haddad Maia 2-0 1 on HC and I on clay
This is their first meeting on grass.Elina has been impressive so far in her defense of her Wimbledon title, though knowing Beatriz she is a fighter, and will not go down without a fight, she has beaten Elina before,though this is their first meeting on grass, where I feel Elina is the superior player.
Ons Jabeur (6) vs Petra Kvitova (9) H2H Kvitova 4-1 3 HC and 1 grass in favor of Petra, most recent match was in 2022 on HC in Cinncy Petra won in 3 sets.
Petra has rekindled her grass game prior to Wimbledon picking up a title, playing solid tennis, where Ons quite frankly has been struggling to find her top grass game, injuries has played a part, sad to say, when Ons weaves her magic on grass she can be hard to defeat. This match up in ways will be a contrast of styles on grass, Petra with her first strike tennis, big serve and fhand, compared to Ons, where she will slice and dice and volley and put her shots on the court in difficult positions for her opponent to cover.Petra may have to go to the P3tra we have all known to love to get the win. A match I cant wait to watch.
Aryba Sabalenka (2) vs Ekaterina Alexandrova H2H Alexandrova 3-2 Recent match was on grass in 2022, Alexandrova won in straight sets.
Alexandrova knows her way around a grass court, Sabalenka will have to watch her margins in this match up, or any match she plays quite frankly, she has the game to win on grass, playing first strike tennis, has power from both wings, and is a good volley player, if she can maintain those factors she should be able to win this match up.
Madison Keys (25) vs Miaa Andreeva First meeting.
Keys recently won the Eastbourne title prior to Wimbledon in great style not losing a set, again Madison plays first strike tennis, big serve and fhand, though she can falter and become a UFE machine, though so far she has shown good focus, she is playing a 16 year old, that is playing 'fearless tennis, agressive mindset and really has nothing to lose, she defeated Potapova in straight sets in her last match.I feel focus will have a lot to do with the outcome of this match, again Madison has to watch her margins or she could come undone.
