![]() ![]() Second seed Aryna Sabalenka appears to have a good chance to reach her first Major quarter-final – with Ekaterina Alexandrova representing the first real test in the third round. If healthy, 2017 champion Muguruza should be the stronger of the two at the All England Club – after likely facing earlier tests from Svetlana Kuzentsova and Ons Jabeur. In the bottom quarter, seventh seed Iga Swiatek and 11th seed Garbine Muguruza look set to fight for a quarter-final berth. The ultra-consistent Mertens is perhaps the likeliest to make the last eight – with Madison Keys and Kenin looking like the biggest hurdles. ![]() The Czech would probably face Britain’s Heather Watson in the second round, and Jessica Pegula in the third round.Įighth seed and countrywoman Karolina Pliskova would be a likely fourth round opponent – though there is no guarantee the 29-year-old would get through Donna Vekic and Alison Riske on recent form.įourth seed Sofia Kenin or 13th seed Elise Mertens would most probably be Kvitova’s quarter-final opponent.

Sixth seed Serena Williams would arguably be Barty’s most probable semi-final adversary.
