Enjoy your tea and crumpets gents, we have a Wimbledon spectacle on our hands featuring the Czech prodigy, Barbora Krejcikova, up against the plucky unseeded upstart, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. All signs point north for our seeding darling, Krejcikova, who's ranked a fantastic 31, leaving her competitor, Bouzas Maneiro, peering from the base of the mountain. Dear Barbora has quite the payout lean to her side as well. Someone better tell Maneiro the climb is steep!
On the avenues of recent performance, it's fair to say Jessica's shown more consistency. She's knocked down a couple of pretty dominos lately, all in love. Some commendable job, I say! Our dear Ms. Krejcikova seems slightly weak on this front, offering up some instances where she had to concede defeat. I truly hope she's been having her Wheaties!
But hey, we're not tossing horseshoes here, are we? If we peer at the slices of recent history, note how both gals have stumbled a bit prior to arriving at Wimbledon. So might it be all about who trips last in this round? Just a smidge of dry wit for you.
Taking the Wimbledon speedway into account, Krejcikova has the pedigree, the ranking, and yes, the slight edge of experience touting her as the makeshift favorite in this showdown. Without further ado - and I do apologize for any potential fluttering hearts - Barbora Krejcikova is likely to come out swinging and take our darling Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in a full spectacle of three sets. Watch out for some serious grass court ballet, folks.
Albert's Prediction: Krejcikova in 3 sets.
