Ashleigh Barty vs Barbora Krejcikova: Preview
World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty has been plagued by injuries in the last couple of tournaments. At the 2021 French Open, Barty had to withdraw in just the second round. She had a similar fate at the Italian Open as well where she backed out mid-game in the quarter-finals.
Apart from the injury troubles, the Australian has enjoyed the current season on court. She defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the finals of the Stuttgart Open 2021 and had a wonderful stint at the Madrid Open where she lost in the finals. At Wimbledon 2021, Barty has started off in emphatic style.
After being stretched to the third round by Carla Suárez Navarro in the first-round clash, Barty has made sure that doesn’t allow any of her opponents to get on top of her. She absolutely thrashed Anna Blinkova and Kateřina Siniaková in her second and third-round encounters respectively.
On the other hand, Barbora Krejčíková had to fight hard in her third-round clash against Anastasija Sevastova. After dropping the second set, Barbora made a thumping comeback and confirmed her place in the round of 16. The 2021 French Open champion will back herself to get past top-seeded Barty.
Ashleigh Barty vs Barbora Krejcikova: Head-to-head
These two players are yet to face each other on court. Hence, the head-to-head record stands at 0-0.
Ashleigh Barty vs Barbora Krejcikova: Prediction
Barbora Krejcikova has been sensational this season. Her French Open 2021 title victory and her domination at Wimbledon 2021 show that she has what it takes at the highest level. However, it wouldn’t be easy to go past top-seeded Ashleigh Barty.
Prediction: Ashleigh Barty to win in 3 sets.
