The Wimbledon schedule has been modified due to rain, but there are still plenty of women’s matches scheduled for Day 4. As always, we here at LWOT will do our best to predict all of the matches for you. We split the matches already set for Thursday between three articles. In addition to this article, the others feature Barbora Krejcikova vs Mirra Andreeva<\/a> and Elena Rybakina vs Alize Cornet<\/a>. Predicting these matches are Jordan Reynolds, Shane Black, and Manuel Traquete. Who do you think will win?<\/p>\n

Wimbledon Day 4 Women’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Kaja Juvan vs Anastasia Potapova<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nBoth women won comfortably in the first round. Potapova is the 22nd seed. But I\u2019m backing Juvan to pull off a slight upset. The Solvenian has reached the third round in the last two years and I think Anastasia Potapova\u2019s style isn\u2019t perfectly suited to grass, so she could be vulnerable.
\nPrediction: Juvan in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Shane:<\/em>
\nAnastasia Potapova and Kaja Juvan will square off for the first time after thoroughly dominating their Round 1 opponents. Both women have little grass-court experience, yet have played well on the surface this year. I give the slight edge to Potapova, who can rely on her tour-level experience against the qualifier.
\nPrediction: Potapova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Manuel:<\/em>
\nJuvan had a great run through qualifying and the first round, but she’s unlikely to make it any further here. Potapova is ranked more than 200 places above her and is generally the much better and more consistent player.
\nPrediction: Potapova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jaqueline Cristian vs Beatriz Haddad Maia<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nHaddad Maia suffered a scare in the opening round, winning 6-4 in the third. Her opponent will be feeling confident after registering her first ever win at Wimbledon. It could be a dangerous match but I think Haddad Maia will raise her level in this round.
\nPrediction: Haddad Maia in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Shane:<\/em>
\nNo. 13 seed Beatriz Haddad Maia recovered from a set down to win her Round 1 match. The lefty is tough to get a read on the grass and seems to come out with a different level each time she steps on the court. Jaqueline Cristian picked up her first career grass-court victory earlier this week. Haddad Maia should be able to dictate the pace and force Cristian into many errors.
\nPrediction: Haddad Maia in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Manuel:<\/em>
\nHaddad Maia has a great run to the semis in Roland Garros and will be looking to have another deep run here. Grass isn’t really as kind a surface for her as clay, but she should at least be able to make it through this second round here.
\nPrediction: Haddad Maia in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
