Iga Swiatek vs Tatjana Maria: Iga Swiatek will return to the tennis court after lifting her third French Open trophy, when she will face 2022 Wimbledon finalist Tatjana Maria in the Round of 32 of the Bad Homburg Open on Monday (June 26) in Germany.
It will be the best opportunity for Swiatek to practice all she wants ahead of the upcoming Wimbledon Championships. This season, she lifted three titles, at Qatar Open, Stuttgart Open, and the French Open. Though she made it to the final of the Dubai Open, Madrid Open but couldn’t get past arch rivals Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina.
Meanwhile, Maria started her grass court season in Nottingham at a WTA 250 event. Her best this year came in April when she successfully defended her Bogota Open.
They will meet for the first time so their head-to-head record is currently at 0-0.
Though Swiatek is nearly unbeatable on clay, she struggles a lot on grass courts. She has won Grand Slam titles on clay and hard courts and in the past, but she would only make it past the fourth round at the grass-court major. She has a 6-5 win-loss record on the surface. And though Maria will be difficult to beat on the surface, her consistency issue can help Swiatek win the match to advance to the next round.
Prediction: Iga Swiatek in straight sets.
