Neither Barbora Krejcikova nor Jasmine Paolini were seen as serious candidates for the trophy at 2024 Wimbledon, but one of them will get ahold of it. Judging by the Krejcikova vs. Paolini odds, the Czech player is more likely to do so, even though she’s 25 places below her Italian rival in the WTA Rankings. Of course, that’s going to change depending on the outcome of the Wimbledon Ladies’ Final.

Barbora Krejcikova Going for Her First Title on Grass Court
Before the start of the 2024 Wimbledon, Barbora Krejcikova was in the 32nd spot in the WTA Rankings. But it’s because, before this tournament, she had only played 22 matches, getting to a 13-9 record in 2024, with no trophies won.
Last year, she won two trophies, the same as the year before. The year 2021 remains her most successful year as that’s when she won the French Open, which remains the only major in her career.
The French Open is one of six clay court tournaments she’s won so far. She also has five titles won on the hardcourt and now, she’s got a chance to win her first tournament on grass.
Krejcikova isn’t famous for being particularly dangerous on this type of surface with a 19-11 record on grass. The good news for her is that eight of those 19 wins happened this year, six at Wimbledon.
What’s interesting is that in her last three Wimbledon matches, she was seen as a betting underdog – vs. Danielle Collins, Jelena Ostapenko, and Elena Rybakina.
The Biggest Match in Jasmine Paolini’s Career
Jasmine Paolini has been playing tennis professionally since 2012, but it’s only this year that she broke into the Top 10 in the WTA Rankings. She’s currently seventh, while last year she finished as the 30th-best female player in the world.
This year, she’s already won one tournament. It’s the WTA Dubai, for which she won $3,211,715 – her highest paycheck ever. In comparison, the second-largest prize she’s won is $235,238 for winning the WTA Portoroz in 2021.
Now, she’s got a chance to do even better and win her first major tournament. It’s not going to be easy as she’s facing an elite opponent, but Paolini has already shown she can slay some giants.
Barbora Krejcikova vs. Jasmine Paolini Prediction
Barbora Krejcikova is our pick. It’s just that her portfolio is much more impressive than the one of Jasmine Paolini. She’s going to take this match seriously and get a win that will propel her closer to the top of the WTA Rankings.
Pick: Barbora Krejcikova
