Elina Svitolina has been tipped as the dark horse at Wimbledon
This is reported by Last Word On Tennis.
Last Word On Tennis notes that Elina Svitolina is having a strong season and regularly reaches the later stages of tournaments.
The authors of the preview believe that the Ukrainian plays well enough on grass to be considered a dark horse at Wimbledon.
Who will the Ukrainian face?
In her opening match at the WTA 500 tournament in Berlin, Svitolina will face Anna Kalinska.
It will be a tough start for the Ukrainian, as Kalinska has already beaten her this year at the tournament in Doha.
However, Svitolina leads their head-to-head record 3–1.
What is the prediction for the match?
Experts are expecting a tense contest.
According to Last Word On Tennis’s prediction, the match could go to three sets, but the edge is given to Svitolina.
The tournament in Berlin is one of the key stages in the build-up to Wimbledon.
For Svitolina, a successful performance on grass could be an important indicator ahead of the season’s main grass-court tournament.
