WTA Wimbledon
Krejcikova B. vs Eala A. – 1st Round Preview
🧠 Form & Context
Barbora Krejcikova
- 🩹 Delayed season: Missed most of 2025 until Strasbourg due to injuries. Since returning in May, she’s played only seven singles matches.
- 🧊 Rust evident: Her 3–4 record since comeback includes a walkover in Eastbourne due to precaution—not quite match-fit yet.
- 📈 Flashes of form: Narrow wins over Burrage and Dart in Eastbourne showed grit, but not yet elite timing.
- 🟢 Wimbledon track: 4–0 in R1 matches here; thrives on big stages like Centre Court.
- 🏆 Title defence begins: Lifted the 2024 Wimbledon crown with a heroic run, beating four top-15 opponents en route.
Alexandra Eala
- 💫 Breakthrough run: Semifinalist in Miami earlier this year and finalist in Eastbourne this past week—career-best stretch.
- 💔 So close: Held 4 championship points in Eastbourne final but fell in a 22-point tiebreak.
- 🔥 Grass form: 10–4 on grass in the last four weeks; confidence and court feel peaking at the right time.
- 🌿 Rising lefty: At just 20 years old, Eala enters her Wimbledon main draw debut with no fear and tons of rhythm.
