The Hungarian ace is 0-2 in the main draw of Wimbledon championship and is yet to win a set in the tournament.

Bondar has posted a terrible 2-11 record on grass main draws in her career.

Elina Svitolina vs. Anna Bondar Wimbledon 2025 Prediction

Elina Svitolina is one of most fittest and composed players in the event. The former top-10 player has a solid grand slam experience and slower grass suits her. She is also impressive in long rallies. In French Open, Bondar pushed Elina to tie-break and the Ukrainian ace won it. The Hungarian rising star relies on loopy topspin and long backswings. Grass-court is not her surface compared to the clay. Svitolina should finish the game in straight sets.

Prediction: Svitolina to win in straight sets.
