Petra Kvitova’s Form
Petra Kvitova has had a mixed season so far, winning just one match during her comeback. She lost in the first-round of the French Open to Viktorija Golubic. However, The Stats Zone notes that Kvitova did make the fourth-round of Wimbledon in her last appearance at the All-England Club in 2023 and had also won the German Open just a few weeks prior, which remains her last title.
Kvitova has a strong record on grass, having won six titles on the surface. She will be seeking a deep run at Queen’s Club, and The Stats Zone expects her to be a strong contender in the tournament.
Beatriz Haddad Maia’s Form
Beatriz Haddad Maia has endured a difficult season since reaching the third-round of the Australian Open in January. However, she returned to form in Strasbourg a few weeks ago, making the semi-finals and pushing eventual winner Elena Rybakina all the way, losing in three sets despite going up an early break in the third. Unfortunately, she could not keep up the momentum in Paris, losing to Hailey Baptiste in the first-round.
Head-to-Head Record
Kvitova and Haddad Maia have played twice before, with both matches taking place on grass. Haddad Maia won in straight sets three years ago in Birmingham, but Kvitova exacted revenge just eight days later in Eastbourne on her way to winning a tournament of her own.
Prediction
The Stats Zone predicts that this match will be a closely contested encounter, with both players capable of winning on grass. They expect the match to go the full distance, with The Stats Zone recommending a tip of over 2.5 sets.
