Top seed Sabalenka doesn't the best record at Wimbledon but is beginning to show green shoots of growth on the grass. The only slam where she is yet to reach the final, the two-time semi-finalist is yet to drop a set at the Championships this year and has the power game to do damage on any surface. No one has picked up more titles on the WTA Tour this season than the three-time major winner and she beat her opponent today in their only previous meeting.

Raducanu hasn't quite lived up to expectations since winning the 2021 US Open but the 22-year-old is finally free of injury troubles and finding form again. A 6-3, 6-3 defeat of 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova displayed all her court craft, deft hands and ball-striking ability and she'll want to use the former in particular to throw Sabalenka off her rhythm. Make the Belarusian move, and don't give her angles, and Raducanu has more than a puncher's chance, especially in a tournament already defined by its upsets.
