Taylor Townsend will try to take advantage of the +5.5-game spread in her first-round duel with defending Wimbledon Open champion Iga Swiatek on Tuesday.
Current Form:
Iga Swiatek begins her Wimbledon Open title defense on Tuesday against a dangerous first-round foe. Swiatek only played one match throughout the grass-court season. The former world No.1 entered the 2026 Bad Homburg Open and lost her opening match to Emma Navarro 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 in the second round.
Taylor Townsend also competed at Bad Homburg a week ago, picking up a win over Martina Trevisan 6-4, 6-2 before bowing to Elena-Gabriela Ruse 6-3, 1-6, 4-6.
The Matchup: This is the first time Townsend and Swiatek will face each other in any tournament since turning pro. Swiatek carries a 28-10 record on grass, but Townsend has three top-10 wins in her career.

Our Taylor Townsend vs Iga Swiatek Prediction
Iga Swiatek takes the win, but not before fending off a spirited challenge from Taylor Townsend.
Swiatek must bring out her A-game right away if she wants to avoid an early-round exit at SW19.
Townsend, who is winning 66.7 percent of her first serves across 24 matches this year, possesses a decent serve-and-plus-one game that could offer problems for Swiatek, who has had past troubles against players who can overpower her.
Swiatek remains a strong bet to win, but Townsend should capitalize on the +5.5-game cushion in the spread market.
