Mertens vs Svitolina

🎾 WTA Wimbledon – Mertens vs Svitolina

🧠 Form & Context

Elise Mertens

• 🌿 Grass revival: Claimed her first-ever grass title in Rosmalen last month, pushing her grass record to 7–1 this season.
• 📉 Slam trouble: Crashed out early at RG (to world No. 361 Boisson), and had only one Slam win in 2025 before Wimbledon.
• 🚀 Finding rhythm: Came through a shaky R2 vs Ann Li and cruised past Fruhvirtová in R1.
• 👀 Wimbledon peak: Twice made the 4th round (2019, 2022) and has a manageable draw to aim for that again.
• 🧠 Mental volatility: Just 4–8 against top-20 players on grass—a major concern against an in-form opponent.

Elina Svitolina

• 🎯 Laser-focused: Dropped just 9 games in total vs Bondár and Sasnovich—she’s locked in.
• 💪 Slam strength: QFs at both AO and RG this year. Wimbledon is her most consistent Slam—QF or better in 3 of her last 4 appearances.
• 🔥 2025 form: 32–10 record including a title in Rouen and deep clay runs in Madrid and Rome.
• 🧱 Grass baseline queen: Backhand and return skills are perfect for disrupting players like Mertens.
• 🧠 H2H comfort: Leads Mertens 5–3 and won 7–5, 6–4 in Bad Homburg just two weeks ago.
