THE PREDICTION
World number nine Petra Kvitova came into Wimbledon as one of the title favourites alongside the top three but she needed three sets to oust an impressive Jasmine Paolini late on Wednesday night. The 33-year-old won both of her Grand Slam titles here in 2011 and 2014 and she added her 31st WTA title at the Berlin Open two weeks ago to bring some of the best form on her favoured grass of any player on tour into SW19. World number 69 Aliaksandra Sasnovich has also enjoyed good results on grass this season, reaching the semi-finals of the Libema Open before defeat to eventual champion Ekaterina Alexandrova. The 29-year-old is far better than her current ranking suggests and she conceded just three games to Nuria Parrizas-Diaz in her opener here to look a serious threat to Kvitova’s campaign. If the Czech can battle through here she should improve with each passing round but this is tougher than it looks on paper, especially with the added title pressure on. Sasnovich beat Kvitova in three sets here back in 2018 but Kvitova has won their last two on hardcourts to go 2-1 up in their tight head-to-head. Back Kvitova to edge through outright.
