Elina Svitolina and Caroline Wozniacki clash in the first round of the 2024 Bad Homburg Open. The match is scheduled for Monday, June 24, 2024. Here’s our Elina Svitolina vs Caroline Wozniacki prediction.
Elina Svitolina vs Caroline Wozniacki Preview
Elina Svitolina will be playing her first grass-court tournament in the 2024 season. Just like last season, Svitolina has signed up for just one tune-up tournament before Wimbledon, and it remains to be seen whether it will have the desired effect. Last year, the Ukrainian turned heads at SW19, beating the likes of Venus Williams, Victoria Azarenka, and World No.1 Iga Swiatek on her way to the semifinal. Only the inspired eventual champion, Marketa Vondrousova, stopped her. Svitolina is looking to re-enter the top 20 for a second time this year and can do so if she puts together a productive week in Bad Homburg, where a total of 500 points will be up for grabs.
Caroline Wozniacki is a former World No.1 and winner of the 2018 Australian Open. Having retired in 2020, the Dane performed a U-turn on her initial decision and rejoined the tour last summer. She’s been relying on tournament wild cards to play as she works on building her ranking from scratch. Playing a limited schedule doesn’t help in that regard, although she is not far off from re-entering the Top 100. Wozniacki was in action this past week in Birmingham, where she lost in the first round Elise Mertens in straight sets.
Elina Svitolina vs Caroline Wozniacki Head-To-Head
• Svitolina leads Wozniacki 5-1 in their head-to-head.
• They last played at the 2024 Auckland, where Svitolina won in straight sets.
• This will be their first meeting on grass.
Elina Svitolina vs Caroline Wozniacki Prediction
It’s a clash between two mothers on the WTA tour. Svitolina’s return from maternity leave has been the more successful so far, with a title win in Strasbourg last year and deep runs at Grand Slam tournaments such as Roland Garros and Wimbledon. For Wozniacki, she is struggling to put wins on the board if she doesn’t play regularly, and that has been evident in her last four matches. I’ll side with the consistent Ukrainian.
