Just like that, we are into the second week of Wimbledon. Plenty of good tennis has been played, which gives us the opportunity to reflect on the tournament so far, and also provide the outlook for the next week.<\/p>\n
The Ash Barty \u2014 Barbora Krej\u010d\u00edkov\u00e1 match will be a thriller<\/strong>. Expect Barty to try and keep the Czech player on the run and out of position while Krej\u010d\u00edkov\u00e1 will try to come into the net on the Barty backhand. If the World No. 1 didn\u2019t have an injury cloud hanging over her head, I would back her. But given Barty\u2019s injuries, I think Krej\u010d\u00edkov\u00e1\u2019s winning streak will continue.<\/p>\n Liudmilla Samsonova has continued her good form on grass from Berlin<\/strong>. The young Russian has had a couple of tough wins against quality opposition in Americans Jessica Pegula and Sloane Stephens. Now, she faces an in-form Karol\u00edna Pl\u00ed\u0161kov\u00e1 in what will be the battle of the big servers. Both girls have games suited for grass, as they hit the ball hard and flat. I\u2019m going to give the edge to Samsonova as she is the better athlete but only by a slither.<\/p>\n
