Analysis and Predictions

With this clash its all about what Rybakina turns up , the match is on her racket . In the past year , we have seen fitness or illness issues get the best of her , but as she proved against Wozniacki in the third round , when she reaches her top level on grass , no one can live with her . Kalinskaya has been in blistering form , not dropping a set all tournament ; however , she will be bullied by the monstrous Kazakhstani groundstrokes . Elena Rybakina is arguably the odds favorite to win Wimbledon for the second time in her career . Kalinskaya will be a tough test though , as she s yet to drop a set during the first three rounds . Rybakina will have to defend her service games , while Kalinskaya will have to angle her shots well to move Rybakina around the court , especially as the Kazakhs movement is nt stellar on the grass courts . Expecting a close one here.

Match Expectations

Two of the top backhands on the tour face off against each other . One of these women will reach the quarter - final despite grass being comfortably their worst surface . Krejcikova has equaled her best run at Wimbledon , while Collins has bettered hers . Unlike the previous clash a similar overall style will lead to many long rallies grinded out at the baseline . Ultimately , it ll come down to who does it better , Collins will edge it . Danielle Collins will win this match if she produces her best tennis consistently enough . . She was unplayable at times during her victory in the last round against Beatriz Haddad Maia , although there were also a couple of looser spells from her as well . Krejcikova has a strong and complete game . But the way Collins has been playing when her game is firing , she could be set for a very deep run in her final Wimbledon appearance . Prediction : Collins in 2
