The 32-year-old Kvitova, who won the Eastbourne title before Wimbledon, will face Badosa for the second time and again at a Grand Slam. The Czech tennis player won the first duel at the Australian Open two years ago. The 24-year-old Spaniard is playing on London grass for only the third time in her career, her highest being last year’s round of 16.

Krejčíková got in the mood for Saturday’s duel with today’s smooth progress in doubles. The thirteenth-seeded winner of last year’s Roland Garros, who is only slowly coming back from an elbow injury, has not yet faced Tomljanovic. The doubles Wimbledon champion from 2018 can equal last year’s best by progressing to the round of 16 in singles, the Australian defends her participation in the quarterfinals.
