Katie Volynets vs Tatjana Maria prediction
Tatjana Maria will hope that the experience she has compared to that of Katie Volynets serves her well here. But Volynets is starting to rack up the Grand Slam showings now and whilst her highest finish in one of the four slams came at the Australian Open, she did reach the second round at Wimbledon last year, defeating Maria Lourdes Carle in straight sets.
German veteran Maria was a semi-finalist at Wimbledon back in 2022, where she finally lost out in three sets to Ons Jabeur. Most impressive about her though is that despite her age, she’s playing arguably some of her best tennis lately and arrives at Wimbledon on the back of becoming not only the oldest player to reach at WTA 500 tournament final, but also the first female champion at Queen’s Club for over 50 years.
Maria’s pedigree on grass is clear to see and whilst Katie Volynets is a talented opponent who won’t go down quietly, Maria is the player worth backing to advance on this surface, backing up that memorable victory in mid-June.
