Ashlyn Krueger vs Mika Stojsavljevic

WTA Wimbledon – 1st Round
Ashlyn Krueger vs Mika Stojsavljevic

🧠 Form & Context

  • Ashlyn Krueger
    📉 Slide since Miami: After a strong Sunshine Swing, Krueger hasn’t won back-to-back matches since March.
    🎯 Close, but not there: Lost R1 in Berlin and Bad Homburg to Rybakina and Haddad Maia, respectively.
    🌱 Grass struggles: Just 2–4 on grass in 2025, and 0–1 in Wimbledon main draws.
    💡 Still climbing: Approaching the Top 30 and gaining Slam experience—R2 at Roland-Garros and US Open 2024.

  • Mika Stojsavljevic
    🎓 Teen wildcard: 16-year-old Brit and reigning US Open junior champion, making her Wimbledon debut.
    ⛔ Limited WTA exposure: Still adjusting to pro-level play—no tour-level wins, ranked No. 802.
    🎾 Grass preparation: 1–3 record in June, with her only win coming in Eastbourne qualies.
    🧱 Learning curve: Competing with maturity, but lacks the pace, strength, and depth of match experience at this level.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Krueger is the clear favorite here. Despite a poor recent run, she’s played top-tier opponents and has tools that Stojsavljevic simply hasn’t encountered in juniors or early WTA outings. Expect Krueger to dictate with her serve and forehand, aiming to keep points short and exploit the Brit’s second serve.

Stojsavljevic may show flashes of her potential, especially with crowd support, but her serve is vulnerable and her shot tolerance not yet ready for this level of power. Krueger's biggest challenge may be her own focus—if she maintains composure, she should win comfortably.

🔮 Prediction

Prediction: Krueger in 2 sets – The American’s experience and firepower should see her through without much trouble, though expect a spirited effort from the young Brit early on.
