Tatjana Maria, 10-4 on grass in 2026, is looking like a sharp play to win in straight sets against Lucrezia Stefanini, whom she defeated in two previous hard-court matches.
Current Form:
The grass-court grind continues for Tatjana Maria, who captured her 10th win on grass this year after trouncing Katherine Sebov 6-3, 6-3. Maria, runner-up at Eastbourne International this year, proved too good at the WTA 125 level, punching her ticket to the quarterfinals without dropping a set.
Facing Maria is Lucrezia Stefanini, who has won her last seven matches. After losing to Katarzyna Kawa in three sets in the second round of the 2026 Wimbledon Open qualifying stages, Stefanini would go on to rack up five wins to claim the ITF W100 Cary in North Carolina. She added wins over Carol Zhao of Canada 6-3, 6-1 and Ann Rogers 6-2, 6-1, in Newport.
The Matchup: Maria is 2-1 vs. Stefanini in their head-to-head series. She also defeated the Italian in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2 in their last meeting at the 2025 Puerto Vallarta.

Our Lucrezia Stefanini vs Tatjana María Prediction
The Difference Maker: Maria is just too good on grass, especially at this level. Carrying a 10-4 record on grass, Maria entered Newport as the No.2 seed and the favourite to win the whole thing because of her pedigree on grass.
As for Stefanini, she might be on a 7-match winning streak but she has struggled to play Maria on quicker courts. Her lone win over the German came on the red dirt at an ITF tournament in France seven years ago.
What to Expect: Maria unpacks the whole package of her slice-and-dice arsenal to overwhelm Stefanini, winning in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.
