Petra Kvitova has been more successful than Badosa during the grass section of the season and has already scored several victories over difficult opponents. Paula has so far only won in class and it’s hard to make a clear prediction about her actual readiness. Given the current form of the tennis players, we believe in another successful match of Kvitova.
Both players have a strong serve in their arsenal. In her only head-to-head encounter on the hard court, Kvitova won with a score of 7-5, 7-5. We think it will be a tight match.
Badosa made it through the first rounds easily, but in this case, one must necessarily take into account the level of her previous opponents.
In the opening match, Paula defeated world #236 Louisa Chirico (6-2, 6-1).
In the second round, Badosa easily defeated Irina Bara (6-3, 6-2), ranked #122 in the WTA rankings.
Interestingly, in her only match on grass before Wimbledon, Badosa lost to world #169 Jodie Anna Burrage (6-4, 6-3) at Eastbourne International.
Badosa’s best result at Wimbledon so far remains a fourth-round exit in 2021.
Badosa has lost her last four meetings on grass against the players with a strong serve.
Kvitova came to Wimbledon straight after winning the Eastbourne tournament. It was her first grass title since 2018. It’s quite a surprise result against the rest of Petra’s performances this season.
The former world #1 has had a difficult few months in which she has not been able to get back on track due to constant injuries. According to the tennis player, she is now finally all right.
In the first round of Wimbledon, Kvitova defeated Jasmine Paolini (2-6, 6-4, 6-2).
In the second match, Petra defeated Ana Bogdan (6-1, 7-6). Here, it is worth paying attention to the fact that Kvitova was leading with a score of 6:1, and 5:1, but in the second set, she had to win back two set balls at 5:6. In the end, she defeated her opponent at the tie-break.
Kvitova has three wins in her last 5 top-10 grass matches under her belt.
In 3 of Badosa’s last 5 games, more than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with the odds of 2.00.
In two of Kvitova’s last four matches, tie-breaks have been played․We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 3.10.
