There is a devilishly delightful match waiting to unfold, folks, and that's between Donna Vekic and Dayana Yastremska. Always a pleasure to talk about these two, albeit Yastremska being in the 28th seed position has not been particularly dazzling in the recent past, while Ms. Vekic, sitting pretty unseeded, has been handing out tennis lessons to her opponents.
Now, dig into the history books, you'd uncover the last face-off saw Vekic mop the court with Yastremska in straight sets. That's got to still sting. Add to this Vekic's recent string of victories including straight sets against Andreeva and Tomova, it seems like Vekic's been serving lookers that leave her opponents gasping for air. Except for that hiccup against Shnaider, but hey, everyone trips once in a while.
Now, let's consider Yastremska. Her performance on the court grazes the 'average' territory, with a couple of losses against Shnaider and Sönmez. The Yastremska-Andreeva match was a tough tug-of-war settled with a tight score. Not exactly the smooth sailing one would hope for when stepping on to the Wimbledon turf.
Considering all these intricate details, and not as a throwaway thought, believe me, Donna Vekic seems likely to engage and overcome Yastremska, albeit not without Yastremska giving a good old fashioned Wimbledon fight. So, as a bettor, you might want to watch out for a three-setter instead of a clear sweep.
Albert's Prediction: Vekic in 3 sets
