Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the WTA Wimbledon match.
Iga Świątek is aiming to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time since 2022. Clara Tauson has already caused the tournament’s biggest shock by knocking out Elena Rybakina, and now the Danish player is on the verge of achieving the most significant result of her career.
Iga Świątek
Ranked inside the world’s top five, Iga Świątek has yet to establish Wimbledon as a stronghold in her Grand Slam record. In five appearances, she has reached the quarter-finals only once. Previous eliminations have come against Alizé Cornet, Elina Svitolina, and Yulia Putintseva. Even this year, she has been tested by Caty McNally and Veronika Kudermetova, needing 7:5 sets to get past both.
Clara Tauson
Clara Tauson plays with an aggressive mindset. Over the past 18 months, in eight matches against top-10 opposition, she has either won or remained within a +3.5 game margin in seven of those contests. On grass, she has looked confident and consistent on serve — against Anna Kalinskaya and Elena Rybakina, she dropped just one service game and won over 73% of points behind her first serve. Even in her matchups with Iga Świątek, Tauson has been competitive — taking a set in one meeting and staying within a +4.5 game spread in another.
Iga Świątek vs Clara Tauson Prediction
Clara Tauson has looked composed on the Wimbledon grass, already defeating two top-40 WTA players. In contrast, Iga Świątek has yet to make a convincing case in London, struggling even against players ranked outside the top 50. Tauson is well-positioned to keep this contest close and avoid losing by more than four games.
