Marta Kostyuk, the 12th seed at Wimbledon, will be taking on 13th seed Jasmine Paolini in the quarter-finals. All previous meetings between the two were on hard courts. This time they face off on grass with Kostyuk looking to end a run of two straight losses against the Italian. Winning 21 of her last 22 matches makes Kostyuk the favorite in this prediction.

Kostyuk has had her fair share of injury troubles, but those seem to be behind her at the moment. She’s dropped just two sets in her four matches here so far, and her straight-set win over Ashlyn Krueger in the last round is a boost.

Having lost just five of her 32 matches, Kostyuk is 11th in the live rank and hasn’t lost a quarter-final duel this season.

Paolini will be confident as she heads into this matchup holding a 2-1 lead over Kostyuk. The Italian is a former finalist here, but reaching this far has been a major surprise.

She was a slow starter, losing 0-6 in her very first set at this event against Robin Montgomery. The 30-year-old recovered well and is now on a 16-12 record, having gone 4-1 on grass ahead of her second quarter-final this season. She won the first at Merida.

Paolini, seeking her first-ever Grand Slam title, hasn’t faced as high-profile players as Kostyuk has, and that gives her the underdog feel in this encounter. She is 15th in the live rank.
