World’s No.1 Iga Swiatek will try to extend her winning streak that started way back in April as she plays former Grand Slam champion Sofia Kenin of the United in the first round of ladies’ singles tournament at All-England Club. Swiatek has been on roll over the past three months, racking up 19 consecutive wins and collecting three prestigious hardware such as the Italian, Madrid and the French Open. Swiatek attempts to push her winning streak to 20 at the expense of former Grand Slam winner, Sofia Kenin. It has been an underwhelming past four years for Kenin since she captured the Australian Open and shot up to world’s No.4 in 2020. After that glorious year of tennis, Kenin’s performance has dropped dramatically in the succeeding tournaments because of injuries and struggle to get back to her dominant form. After months of hiatus, Kenin returned to the WTA circuit in 2023 and continues to work her way up in the rankings.

Our Iga Swiatek vs Sofia Kenin Prediction

Swiatek is putting her legendary 19-game winning streak on the line against Kenin in this intriguing first-round match. The Pole carries a 2-0 edge over Kenin in their head-to-head series with straight-set victories at the 2020 French Open final and 2024 Australian Open first round. To no one’s surprise, Swiatek will enter the match as the overwhelming favourite at -1600, but it’s intriguing to see how many games she will beat the American this time. Even during her peak years, Kenin has never fared well at Wimbledon, reaching as far as the third round in 2023. Swiatek was a quarterfinalist in last year’s tournament and is expected to come through with a deep run this time. I see Swiatek overcoming some rustiness in the first set before cruising to an easy straight sets win. Our betting prediction for Iga Swiatek vs. Sofia Kenin: Bet on Swiatek to cover a -6.5 spread, -110, at BetMGM.
