Iga Swiatek vs Elina Svitolina Prediction: Swiatek will achieve a confident victory

Iga Swiatek will face Elina Svitolina in the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon tournament. The two tennis players have met once before on the Tour, in 2021 on the court of Rome. The Polish player won that match in two sets.

Iga Swiatek

Before Wimbledon, Swiatek played three matches in Bad Homburg and dropped out of the tournament at the semi-final stage, apparently having had some good practice and deciding not to take any risks before the Grand Slam. She played four matches in London, knocking out China's Zhu Lin, Spain's Sorribes-Tormo, Croatia's Martic, and Switzerland's Bencic, losing only one set to the Swiss. The match against Bencic lasted more than three hours, the girls played two tie-breaks, and the Polish player won the third set 6:3. During the game, she served three times with three double faults, won 75% of points on her first serve, and 61% on her second. Receiving stats: 29%/51%, winners/unforced errors 33/24.

Elina Svitolina

Before Wimbledon, Elina played only one match on the grass at the Birmingham tournament, losing to Czech Fruchvirtova. Still, this practice was enough for the Ukrainian to get off to a good start at Wimbledon and move steadily through the Grand Slam, reaching the quarter-finals. Svitolina knocked out Venus Williams, Belgian Mertens, American Kenin, and Belarusian Azarenka along the way. The match against Azarenka lasted two hours and 49 minutes on a tie-break, 2:6, 6:4, 7:6, and 11:9. It was a tough and long match, in which Svitolina was still stronger. During the game, Elina served eight times with zero double faults and won 73% of points on the first serve and 38% on the second. Receiving stats: 34%/53%, winners/unforced errors 37/40.

Expert Betting Tips

Swiatek is confident going through the Wimbledon net; the Pole has lost only one set to the strong Swiss Belinda Bencic. For the rest of the matches, Iga won 2:0. Svitolina played an extremely long and emotional match against Azarenka in the last round, and there is no confidence that the not-very-young Ukrainian will be able to recover from such a marathon in time for the game against the world number one. We also note that the Pole has an advantage in head-to-head meetings, Iga beat Elina on the ground in Rome, and this tournament is one of Svitolina's favorites. We believe that Swiatek will achieve a confident victory in two sets over Elina on Tuesday.
