One of Friday's matches on the WTA side of things at Wimbledon is an all-top-20 clash between Ekaterina Alexandrova and Iva Jovic, who will be meeting for the second time as professionals. When the pair last clashed, it was the Russian who got the job done, winning on a hard surface back in 2024. This will be the first time that these two top players have faced off on grass.
This is not an easy match to call, make no mistake about that, but Alexandrova definitely warrants more respect than early odds suggest. Jovic has improved since the pair last met, but has she shown enough on grass to suggest that she should be such a strong favorite against a fellow top-20 competitor? Absolutely not. Therefore, betting on Alexandrova to get the job done offer value for money at odds of +175.

Our Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Iva Jovic Prediction
The early market clearly expects the hugely talented Iva Jovic to win this, and it won't exactly be surprising if the youngster does that. After all, her first two effort at Wimbledon have been impressive. However, she'll have to step on the gas to beat a player who has been equally impressive, while let's face it, Alexandrova is not the type of player who regularly comes up short on grass against players outside the top ten.
Her only two defeats on grass in 2026 have come against Naomi Osaka and Aryna Sabalenka, so don't be too shocked if she wins this. She does have more Wimbledon experience to drawn on than her opponent, and that should not be ignored.
