THE PREDICTION

Former world number one Karolina Pliskova may go down as one of the most talented players never to win a Grand Slam title on the WTA tour, with two runner-up trophies claimed here in 2021 and at the US Open in 2016. The current world number 18 is a very hard player to back with confidence on tour as someone who appears to pick and choose where her next peaks and troughs will come on a whim but she should take some real beating here at Wimbledon despite bringing a four-match losing streak into the draw. World number 223 Natalija Stevanovic qualified without dropping a set this week to make her Grand Slam debut at 28 years old and the Serb could be a handful if Pliskova is not dialled-in from the off. However, Pliskova’s 80% game on grass is tougher than most players’ out there and she should still come through this first meeting in straight sets.
