Aryna Sabalenka will square off against Emina Bektas in the first round of the 2024 Wimbledon. The match is scheduled for Monday, July 1st, 2024. Here's our Aryna Sabalenka vs Emina Bektas prediction.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Emina Bektas Preview

Aryna Sabalenka will start her 2024 Wimbledon campaign under a cloud of uncertainty regarding her fitness. The Belarusian has confessed that she is not playing at full health after injuring her shoulder in Berlin, the WTA 500 event played just before Wimbledon.

She retired after just one match there, and Sabalenka has not played a competitive match since. However, she has a terrific record in Grand Slams in the last couple of years, winning the Australian Open twice and not losing before the quarterfinal stage since 2022.

Emina Bektas is ranked 106th in the WTA rankings ahead of this year's Wimbledon. She played in the main draw once before, losing in the first round to Bianca Andreescu two years ago after qualifying for the tournament.

This year, she's earned a direct ticket into the main draw. The 31-year-old has played in three warm-up tournaments on grass before coming to SW19. The American was eliminated in the first round at the prestigious Surbiton ITF tournament but picked up her first win of this year's grass-court swing in Den Bosch when she shocked Top 100 player Anna Blinkova. Her other win on the surface was in the qualifying rounds of Berlin.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Emina Bektas Prediction

Sabalenka is the outright favorite to win Wimbledon, according to the oddsmakers. However, with doubts about the severity of her shoulder/neck issue, not many people can confidently stake on pre-tournament odds. She's also been complaining about feeling pain while serving. So, this could be a potential market to be exploited in this match, which is the total number of double faults that Sabalenka will record in the match. 

Recommended bet: Sabalenka 3+ double faults @ -111

 

Nur’s Pick Aryna Sabalenka 3+ total double faults in the match
