Barbora Krejcikova vs Caroline Dolehide prediction

For a period of time, things were looking perilous for Barbora Krejcikova. One set down to Alexandra Eala, the Czech was in severe danger of becoming the second consecutive women’s singles winner to be knocked out in the first round the following year. But Krejcikova stepped up a gear and showed her class to take the next two sets, dropping just three games in the process.

Meanwhile, USA’s Caroline Dolehide advanced through to the second round at SW19 for the first time in her career, taking advantage of a kind draw to comfortably defeat fellow unseeded player Arantxa Rus 6-2, 6-2. Grass is not Dolehide’s best surface however, and she’ll come into this match as a huge underdog.

Realistically, Krejcikova should dominate Dolehide, especially after having been stunned into life by such a poor start against Eala. Don’t expect the reigning champion to make the same sluggish start two matches running and instead back her to triumph in two.
