Maria Sakkari Form

Maria Sakkari opened her Wimbledon campaign with a solid 6-4, 6-4 win over world No.78 Anna Blinkova, marking her third victory of the grass season and bringing her 2025 grass-court record to 3–3.

Her last two main-draw appearances on grass both ended in the second round, with losses to Elise Mertens in Hertogenbosch and Ekaterina Alexandrova in Bad Homburg.

The former world No.3 ended her 2024 season early due to a shoulder injury sustained at the US Open. She returned to the tour earlier this year but has struggled to find consistent form.

Of the 16 events she has entered in 2025, only one has seen her win multiple matches — a fourth-round run in Madrid during the clay swing.

Sakkari has had mixed results at Wimbledon. This is her eighth appearance, and she has reached the third round in alternating years, including last season.

Elena Rybakina Stats

  • Current rank: 11
  • Career high rank: 3
  • Elo rank: 9
  • Season record: 30–12
  • Wimbledon second-round record: 4–0
  • Record vs players outside top 50 on grass: 24–3

Elena Rybakina Form

Elena Rybakina opened her Wimbledon campaign with a commanding 6-2, 6-2 win over Elina Avanesyan, dropping just three games. 

Despite the dominant scoreline, she had to navigate moments of pressure, saving eight of nine break points in a match that lasted just over an hour.

The Kazakh arrived at Wimbledon on the back of quarterfinal losses to Aryna Sabalenka in Berlin and Tatjana Maria at Queen’s Club — slightly below expectations given her usual high standards.

Although she slipped out of the top 10 after failing to match her stellar results from the first half of last year, Rybakina has still reached six quarterfinals or better in 2025.

Grass remains her best surface, with eight quarterfinal or better finishes, including three at Wimbledon. She has never lost a second-round match in any of her four previous main-draw appearances at the All England Club.

Verdict

Elena Rybakina’s experience and natural ease on grass make her a threat to any opponent, especially given her consistency at Wimbledon. 

Maria Sakkari, still regaining rhythm after her injury layoff, may find it difficult to match that level. Rybakina is favored to advance, with the match likely to go over 18.5 games.
