2022 Wimbledon Betting Odds: Swiatek (odds) / Kerkhove (+2,371)

Why Bet on Iga Swiatek?

It’s official; Iga Swiatek has the longest win streak in the 21st century at 36 consecutive wins following her quick win in the first round of the 2022 Wimbledon women’s singles tournament Tuesday. The World No. 1 handed her challenger Jana Fett a 6-0, 6-3 clinical straight-sets rout as she remains the one woman to beat in Wimby as we speak.

Since winning it all in Doha, Swiatek has been unstoppable, winning each of the last six tournaments she’s played in, including the recently-concluded French Open. The two-time Roland Garros champion is also coming off a career-best semifinal finish at the Australian Open, making 2022 her strongest showing in Grand Slam events by far.

On the other hand, Swiatek does have relative inexperience playing on grass. The pride of Poland currently has a mere 4-2 record in Wimbledon, wherein she’s mostly played her grass-court tournaments as a professional save for a couple of visits to Eastbourne and one trip to Birmingham in 2019 whilst the then-18-year-old was still developing her game.

Why Bet on Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove?

Make that back-to-back first-round victories in Wimbledon for Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove, who needed the full three-set distance to defeat her opponent on Tuesday in Sonay Kartal, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. That win means that the underrated Dutch’s solid run in the qualifying round of Wimbledon will not be put to waste as she now faces her stiffest competition to date in Swiatek.

Kerkhove converted six of her eight break-point opportunities in order to dispatch her first-round opponent. However, she’ll need to play perfectly against Swiatek, and her three double faults in the first round leave something to be desired.

Nevertheless, there’s just something about Wimbledon that brings the best out of Kerkhove. The 30-year-old Goes native has qualified for the Grand Slam tournament in each of her last two trips to the event in singles competition; albeit also having missed the cut in the very first round of qualifiers at the event in her first four tries between 2015 and 2018.

Swiatek vs. Kerkhove 2022 Wimbledon Betting Trends

As another resounding reminder, Swiatek has won 36 straight matches to date.
On the other hand, Swiatek is just 5-5 in tournaments held on grass since 2019.
Kerkhove is currently 1-3 on grass this year with three first-round exits prior to her qualifying run for Wimby’s tournament proper.
Kerkhove has a total of seven wins in the 15 tournaments she either played or tried to qualify for this year.

Iga Swiatek vs. Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove Expert Betting Prediction

There’s no denying that there’s a glaring disparity between the level of talent in this particular second-round matchup. Then again, Swiatek’s limited body of work on grass still leaves some speculation that an untimely upset at Wimbledon could be in the works for her. As such, Kerkhove should still garner several bets in favor of her completing said upset given the amazing returns that her current heavy underdog odds provide.
