Karolina Muchova vs Wang Xinyu prediction
This tournament has not been a happy one for Karolina Muchova since she made the quarter-finals back in 2021. Three consecutive first round eliminations have followed in as many years for the 28-year-old from Czechia and the longer this match goes on, the more nervous Muchova could get, opening the door for Wang Xinyu to potentially pull off an upset.
Wang is a fearless young player with an exciting future and this was highlighted last year at SW19 when she made it to the fourth round of the women’s singles tournament, stunning USA’s Jessica Pegula in the process. She knows when it takes to beat a seeded player and her style of play is well suited to the grass court.
When assessing all first-round fixtures pre-tournament, this is one in particular that really stands out as a match where we could get a seeded player get knocked out. If we see the same Wang that we did last year, then Muchova may be in big trouble when factoring in her struggles at Wimbledon over the last few years. Therefore, backing Wang may be a shrewd play.
