Alexandra Eala vs Iga Swiatek Prediction & Picks - WTA Wimbledon Championships

Prediction published on 7/4/26, 4:33 AM  by Lou Aguila in Tennis Picks

Alexandra Eala and Iga Świątek meet for the third time in their careers and for the first time on grass.

Eala has already won three sets in two matches against the former world’s No.1 and will be looking to win more in this intriguing battle in the third round at the 2026 Wimbledon Open.

Current Form:

Alexandra Eala barged into the round-of-32 of any Grand Slam tournament for the first time after completing a furious fightback against Maya Joint 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 in the second round. Eala, who broke Joint five times in the match, avenged her painful loss to the Aussie in the finals of the Eastbourne International last year, which left Eala in tears after failing to convert four championship points in a 4-6, 6-1, 6-7 letdown.

After a shaky first-round win over Taylor Townsend 6-1, 2-6, 6-3, Iga Świątek delivered a surgical win over former world’s No.1 Karolína Plíšková 6-1, 6-3. Świątek, the reigning Wimbledon Open champion, scored 32 return points and converted six breakpoints against Plíšková.

The Matchup: Swiatek and Eala are 1-1 in their head-to-head series. Eala won the first encounter in straight sets 6-2, 7-5 on the hard court of Miami in 2025, but the former world’s No.1 responded with a three-set win over the Filipina 6-4, 4-6, 2-6 a few weeks later in Madrid.
