Women’s day predictions from Wimbledon
Barbora Krejcikova vs Caroline Dolehide
To have
Krejcikikova knows one or two about Wimbledon’s victory. Reigning champion of the event, she has remarkably well moved on the smooth surface, creating angles that disturb her opponents. She will be a handful to dominate her second round opponent, Dolehide, who has not yet cracked the grass code.
Prediction: Krejcikikova and 2
Jordan
Dolehide generally plays his best tennis on short hard. The reigning champion Krejcikikova moves better on the grass than her opponent and has a more complete game on the surface. I doubt that Dolehide is the one who ends his defense of the title.
Prediction: Krejcikikova and 2
Shane
The reigning champion knows how to win on the grass. Although I don’t expect her to do another race race, her game is more suitable for these shorts than Dolehide.
Prediction: Krejcikikova and 2
Clara Tauson vs Anna Kalinskaya
To have
In their only battle that took place last year, Kalinskaya beat Tauson rather comfortably on Clay. However, since the, N Kalinskaya has had her own injury problems and has not been able to return to the top 15 where she was strong a few years ago. Tauson, on the other hand, has shown remarkable improvement. His bass base allows him to take points on the grass with relative ease.
Prediction: Tauson in 3
Jordan
This is a fascinating match between two powerful strikers. Tauson relies slightly more on the big blow than Kalinskaya, which is the best engine. However, I think that the grass match is leaning in favor of Tauson, because it gives it a better opportunity to unbalance Kalinskaya.
Prediction: Tauson in 3
Shane
I am a big fan of Tauson and Kalinskaya games. They hit the ball very well on the back of the field and have the firepower to go deep into this event. Expect a back and forth meeting, but I will give the slight advantage to the most coherent Danish.
Prediction: Tauson in 3

Ludmila Samsonova vs yulia strodubtseva
To have
Samsonova was a good player on the grass a few years ago. However, it was not up to these standards over time. His opponent Starodubtseva puts a lot of rotation on the ball suitable for Clay and could find it difficult to win with this match plan.
Prediction: Samsonova in 3
Jordan
Samsonova is capable of a deep race in Wimbledon. It could be tested by Stardoubtseva, which also clearly strikes the ball. Samsonova remains the most reliable choice on the grass, especially, especially after the way she played in the first round against the champion of the Eastbourne Open Maya Joint.
Prediction: Samsonova in 2
Shane
Samsonova is the tested grass mail. Although she has not played great tennis lately, she is the favorite decided on Starodubtseva.
Prediction: Samsonova in 2
IGA Swiatek vs Caty McNally
To have
Swiatek has tried to find his best tennis lately, and it seems that she is coming back to it. With Wimbledon and Grass being its slam and its weakest surface, there are a lot to play. This battle of the second round should be a cake walk, and the young McNally may not be able to offer the goods.
Prediction: Swiatek in 2
Jordan
Swiatek should not underestimate McNally, who plays without fear. But the post seems to be much more relaxed than earlier in reason and playing with freedom. It also looks much more comfortable on grass compared to previous years.
Prediction: Swiatek in 2
Shane
No one saw the fall of Swiatek at n ° 8 in the coming world. That said, she seems to find a shape on the grass. The lower seed helped release it. A relaxed swiatek is scary for the rest of the draw.
Prediction: Swiatek in 2
