Caroline Dolehide vs Barbora Krejčíková preview
Caroline Dolehide will continue her campaign at SW19 with a second-round matchup set against the defending champion, Barbora Krejčíková.
Trending
Dolehide’s 2025 season has been underwhelming, to say the least. While she had an encouraging display during the Sunshine Double, she has not yet advanced beyond the third round at any tournament this year.
Her grass-court form has been even more concerning, managing to win merely one match across two tournaments leading up to Wimbledon. A loss in the Eastbourne qualifiers made her chances at The Championships even slimmer. But, she defied expectations with a commanding 6-2, 6-2 victory over Arantxa Rus in the opening round.
Krejčíková has had a tough season, spending much of it on the sidelines with injuries. She was out for the first five months recovering from a back issue. Subsequently, a thigh injury forced her to pull out of the quarterfinals in Eastbourne.
Despite all these setbacks, the Czech national stunned Alexandra Eala on Tuesday. She came back from a set down to clinch a 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 win, erasing any doubts that critics might have with regards to her fitness.
Caroline Dolehide vs Barbora Krejčíková head-to-head
Dolehide and Krejčíková will face each other for the first time at the WTA level on Thursday. But the latter clinched a 6-4, 6-3 win during an ITF tournament in 2019.

Caroline Dolehide vs Barbora Krejčíková prediction
Barbora Krejčíková has won three Wimbledon titles (two in doubles and one in singles) and has won 63.6% of her career matches on grass courts. Caroline Dolehide, on the other hand, has had difficulty on grass, only managing a 43.2% win rate and never making it past the quarterfinals of any grass-court competition since she became a professional.
Unless she reaggravates any injury that would force her to retire mid-match or withdraw before the match, Krejčíková is the overwhelming favorite to win.
Pick: Barbora Krejčíková to win.
