Donna Vekic vs Ashlyn Krueger Prediction 6/30/2026 Today’s Tennis Picks

Donna Vekic faces qualifier Ashlyn Krueger in the first round of the 2026 Wimbledon Championships on Tuesday, June 30. Vekic is a former semifinalist at Wimbledon but faces a tricky opener against in-form Krueger, who won a title in the lead-up to Wimbledon. Here’s our Donna Vekic vs Ashlyn Krueger prediction. This preview will include a Donna Vekic vs Ashlyn Krueger pick.

Donna Vekic vs Ashlyn Krueger Preview

Donna Vekic clinched one of the top 32 seeding spots at this year’s Wimbledon. Vekic won the biggest title of her career at the WTA 500 at London’s Queen’s Club. She beat Emma Raducanu in the final and achieved this success as a lucky loser. The Croatian’s ranking rose significantly to inside the top 40. 

Vekic has now compiled 26 wins and 16 losses this season. She is 6-2 on grass. Her most recent match was in Berlin, where she lost to Alexandra Eala in the first round. Vekic has competed in 11 previous Wimbledon main draws. She achieved her best run in 2024, where she reached the semifinals.

Ashlyn Krueger enters the 2026 Wimbledon Championships on the brink of rejoining the Top 100. The American was touted as a future star after a breakout season in 2023. But Krueger experienced a substantial drop in form over the past couple of seasons and lost her spot in the top 100.

Krueger has pretty much relaunched her career from the lower tiers in recent months and has enjoyed some success in the past couple of weeks this swing. She reached the semifinals of the Birmingham 125K event and redeemed herself to take the title in Ilkey just a week later. That title win served as a springboard to a hugely successful qualifying campaign at Wimbledon.

Vekic and Krueger have faced off once at the WTA level. Krueger won their match at the 2024 Cincinnati Open in three sets.

Donna Vekic vs Ashlyn Krueger Prediction

Both women are in top form, which makes this Wimbledon first-round match a tricky one to call. I’d probably back Vekic to win this match outright, but the overs is the safer market here. Krueger is starting to look like the player many expected her to become a couple of seasons ago. The American is one of the biggest hitters on tour and Vekic might need to change pace and deploy the drop shot frequently.
