YULIA PUTINTSEVA VS ANGELIQUE KERBER PREDICTION
Yulia Putintseva faces a real battle to get through here against Wimbledon fan-favourite Kerber, winner of the Venus Rosewater Dish back in 2018. The German’s powerful playstyle is perfectly suited to the grass and Putintseva will have to be on top of her game to counter that. However, form is in Putintseva’s favour having recently won the Rothesay Classic in Birmingham.
We could be in for a potential thriller between these two players and the outcome could go either way. Whilst Kerber is yet to win on grass this year, you simply cannot write her off at Wimbledon and backing this encounter to be decided in three sets has to be favoured.
