Petra Marcinko has played at her first Gran Slam events proper this year, reaching the second round at the Australian Open and the first round at Roland Garros. She has enjoyed an impressive 2026, headlined by winning the Rabat Grand Prix last month.
Sofia Kenin, born in Moscow but now representing the United States, is a Grand Slam winner with the 2020 Australian Open, the same year in which she reached the final of the US Open, but she has never made it past the third round at Wimbledon.
Kenin failed to qualify for the Eastbourne Open and she hasn’t won a proper game since the first round at the Madrid Open in late-April. Marcinko will fancy earning herself a famous win here.
