Tauson Struggling after Fitness Concerns

Tauson’s three WTA titles in 2021 had helped her rise to 33rd in the world last year but a back injury and a string of poor performances have pushed her back.

And now, after missing more than two months of tennis at the highest level, she will look to make a winning comeback at Wimbledon.

Having never won a main draw match at this competition, Tauson will have her work cut out for sure, having won a sum total of only six matches this year. Tauson has also lost six to go with it.

She enters Wimbledon on a three-match losing streak that saw her go down in Indian Wells, Miami and Madrid, and since then she was laid low by her back problems.

On grass, Tauson’s overall career record reads 0-2 as she fell in the first round at both, Bad Homburg and Wimbledon last season. All in all, the odds seem to be stacked up against her even as she takes on a Wimbledon debutant.

Hontama Scrapes Through the Qualifiers

With a career-best ranking of 122nd in the world, Hontama had never made it to the main draw of a Grand Slam before this.

This time around, at Wimbledon 2022, Hontama has finally achieved what she had set out to do with three wins in the qualifiers that sees her made it to the first round for the first time at a major.

In the last two rounds of those qualifiers, against Stephanie Wagner and Lizette Cabrera, Hontama overcame a first set loss to carve out a victory and in turn a surprise place in the main draw.

She now goes up against a struggling Tauson and might have a chance of causing a big upset first up.

Tauson v Hontama Prediction and Tip

While Tauson is a far superior player overall and that can be seen from the rankings as well, her lack of tennis and back issues could be a concern and might give Hontama a chance to break through.

Tip: Hontama to win: 8/5 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
