Lulu Sun vs Anna Blinkova prediction
Lulu Sun picked up her most impressive win on a grass court since defeating Emma Raducanu in the fourth-round of Wimbledon last year as she dumped top seed and defending champion Daria Kastkina out of Eastbourne. Sun won 7-5 2-6 6-3. This was an important, morale-boosting win for the New Zealnder given that she must defend a lot of points at the All England Club after her run to the quarter-finals in 2024.
She’s up against Anna Blinkova in the next stage of the tournament. Blinkova defeated Marie Bouzkova to level up the head-to-head at 3-3, winning 6-4 2-6 6-3 after a lengthy encounter.
They’ve played just once before and it took place in the second-round of the Hana Bank Korea Open in Seoul, with Sun beating Blinkova 6-4 7-6 in 2022. This will be their first match on grass and it’s likely to be an evenly matched contest between the pair.
Lulu Sun vs Anna Blinkova tip: Over 2.5 sets
