The third Grand Slam event of the year kicked off on Monday, and the first day has seen some amazing tennis on grass for the women’s tournament. Iga Swiatek will take on Sofia Kenin on Tuesday, while Ons Jabeur will be looking to start another Wimbledon final run, so what should we expect from the best WTA Wimbledon matches on July 2?
The best women’s Wimbledon odds have Iga Swiatek as the slight favorite to win the Championship, even though she plays her worst tennis on grass. She has a 9-4 straight-up record at Wimbledon, which is by far her worst in all four Grand Slam events, as her best result here was reaching the quarterfinals. Sofia Kenin looked decent in her grass preparations, and she will be a tricky first-round opponent for Iga. The American player has won six of her last nine grass matches, so we will go with her to win at least one set with those huge odds.
Ons Jabeur has lost two straight Wimbledon finals, losing last year’s final to Vondrousova and the 2022 final to Rybakina. She won four of her last six matches on grass, and she is a big favorite to get a comfortable win against Moyuka Uchijima. The Japanese is a very good clay tennis player, but she isn’t the best on grass surfaces. Ons Jabeur is an excellent returner and shouldn’t face many problems breaking Moyuka’s serve, so the Tunisian to get a quick win and the match to go under the total is the play here.
Caroline Wozniacki has a lot of experience at Wimbledon with a 25-13 straight-up record, while Alycia Parks has only one win at the Championships in her career. The former world No. 1 beat players like Svitolina and Kudermetova in her grass preparations, and she was an underdog in both matches. The experience makes Wozniacki the deserved favorite to get the win here.
