They last locked horns in the third round at Wimbledon last year, where Swiatek won 6-2, 7-5. She could repeat that performance this year as Martic is yet to break her slump this season. The Pole enters this match on the back of a commanding win against Sofia Kenin in the first round, while Martic had to come from a set down to beat Francesca Jones.

Iga Swiatek vs. Petra Martic: Match Prediction

Swiatek is in good form right now. She barely dropped a set during the clay swing and has carried over the momentum into the grass season. She took a break after the French Open and it seemed to have helped her physically and mentally, as she barely put a foot wrong in her 6-3, 6-4 win against Sofia Kenin.

Martic, on the other hand, did not have an easy ride against Francesca Jones. She started the contest on the back foot and found herself a set down, before she rallied to win 3-6, 6-1, 6-2.

Swiatek has the habit of starting her matches in an aggressive manner as she looks to assert her dominance. However, a timely break or two early in the match might put the Pole under pressure and pave the way for a massive upset. That said, she is the heavy favorite heading into this matchup and should be able to beat the Croatian without any hiccups.

Match prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in straight sets.
