🔍 Match Breakdown

This is a classic battle of opposites. Lulu Sun comes in with offensive firepower and memories of last year’s heroics. She’s capable of taking the racquet out of her opponent’s hands—but also imploding in long rallies or tight sets.

Bouzková is built for exactly these situations. She frustrates attacking players with depth, slice, and subtle changes of pace. While not flashy, her Wimbledon record suggests she thrives in these grass-specific matchups.

Sun’s serve and forehand are keys to early pressure. If she redlines early, Bouzková could find herself chasing. But over a full match, the Czech’s steadiness and tactical discipline should tilt the tide.

🔮 Prediction

Prediction: Bouzková in 3 sets – Sun may flash brilliance, but Bouzková will weather the storm and drag the match into her rhythm.
