Iga Swiatek vs Polina Kudermetova Preview

Iga Swiatek’s remarkable Grand Slam consistency, reflected in a 24–1 first-round record and a 10–1 mark against players ranked outside the top 50 in 2025, places her in a dominant position ahead of this matchup. 

Polina Kudermetova enters the contest on a six-match losing streak and has continued to struggle against top-10 opposition, making Swiatek the clear favorite to advance comfortably.

Iga Swiatek Form

Iga Swiatek arrives at Wimbledon after a mixed showing in Bad Homburg last week. She delivered impressive wins over in-form opponents Ekaterina Alexandrova and Jasmine Paolini, but fell short in the final against Jessica Pegula. 

The world No. 1 struggled throughout the match, creating just one breakpoint and failing to find her rhythm in what was her first career final on grass and first tour-level final since Roland Garros 2024.

Despite the disappointing finish, Swiatek’s Grand Slam track record remains outstanding. She holds a 24–1 record in first-round matches at the majors, with her only loss coming in her Wimbledon debut in 2021. 

Since then, she has reached at least the third round in each of her four subsequent appearances at the All England Club, highlighted by a quarterfinal run in 2023.

While Swiatek has dominated on clay and hard courts, grass remains her least comfortable surface. 

Her career record stands at 21–9 on grass, but she has managed to win at least two matches in each of her last six events on it—showing gradual improvement and increasing adaptability.

Polina Kudermetova Stats

  • Current rank: 64
  • Career high rank: 54
  • Elo rank: 116
  • Season record: 14–14
  • Grand Slam R1 record: 0–3
  • Form against top 10 opponents: 1–2

Polina Kudermetova Form

Polina Kudermetova enters Wimbledon in poor form, currently riding a six-match losing streak and having won just one of her last nine matches. 

Her level has dropped sharply since a strong start to the season, where she won 10 of her first 12 matches and reached the final in Brisbane. In recent months, her results have flattened, and consistency has been hard to come by. 

Kudermetova has featured in the main draw of three Grand Slam tournaments but has yet to win a match, exiting in the first round on each occasion. Her most recent Slam appearance ended in a straight-sets loss to Jelena Ostapenko at this year’s French Open. 

She also attempted to qualify for Wimbledon in 2024 but fell in the opening round to Erika Andreeva. Her record on grass is limited and underwhelming. At tour level, Kudermetova has won just one of four main draw matches on the surface. That lone victory came against Yuan Yue in 's-Hertogenbosch in 2023.

Verdict

Iga Swiatek is widely expected to ease through this opening round, with Polina Kudermetova lacking both the form and the firepower to pose a serious threat. Barring any surprises, a straightforward and routine win for the world No. 1 appears highly likely.
