Iga Swiatek and Petra Martic will meet in the second round of Wimbledon. Prediction for the match of these tennis players is made by Dailysports experts.
Iga Swiatek
The Polish tennis player is trying to dominate in women’s tennis, especially powerful she spent the ground part of the season, winning tournaments in Madrid, Rome and Roland Garros. Swiatek is on a streak of 20 wins, with few realizing how she can be stopped. Before Wimbledon, the athlete took a break for rest, so she did not play grass tournaments, which is quite risky.
In the first round she managed to defeat Sofia Kenin – 6:3, 6:4, as you can see from the scoreline, it was without a rout. Sventek is deservedly the first racket of the world, and after all she is only 23 years old.
Petra Martic
The Croatian athlete looked very promising in her time, although she did not have a brilliant career. The peak of her achievements was a place in the top 20, now the athlete is 33 years old, now she is only 85th in the world ranking. The tennis player did not have strong tournaments in the current season, even had to endure a series of five defeats.
In the first round, Martic defeated Francesca Jones from the third hundred of the world ranking, and only in three sets – 3:6, 6:1, 6:2. There are doubts that the Croatian can give a fight to the world ranking leader.
