Paula Badosa (4) v Petra Kvitova (25)
When you look at day 6 line-up, you can’t miss this blockbuster match.
Paula Badosa is the no.4 player in the world and even though Petra Kvitova is ranked at no.26, we can’t forget the fact that she is a two-time Wimbledon champion.
The Czech star last won Wimbledon in 2014, but was unable to reach a quarterfinal since then. She arrived at the All-England club this year, after winning a title in Eastbourne, taking out in-form players such as Jelena Ostapenko and Beatriz Haddad Maia.
On the other hand, Badosa’s best Wimbledon performance came last year, when she fell in the round of 16 to Karolina Muchova. She had no success on grass prior to Wimbledon, losing her only match to Jodie Anna Burrage at Eastbourne.
The Czech will try to overpower her opponent from the early stages, while the Spaniard will definitely want this to be more of a physical battle. The one who comes out on top in this match could set up another blockbuster in the round of 16, if former champion Simona Halep defeats Magdalena Frech.
Kvitova won their only encounter, edging Badosa in the second round of the 2020 Australian Open by 7-5, 7-5. The Spaniard has gained much more experience on the big stages since their last meeting, so we are in for a big treat at Wimbledon’s Center court tomorrow.

Stefanos Tsitsipas (4) v Nick Kyrgios
Out of the highest ranked players, we can easily say that the fourth seeds from both men’s and women’s side of the draw have the toughest assignments. While Badosa battles former champ Kvitova, Stefanos Tsitsipas is going to be a part of a men’s blockbuster against Nick Kyrgios.
Their last head to head meeting came just two weeks ago on grass in Halle, when the Aussie came from a set behind to defeat the second-seeded Tsitsipas.
With that win, Kyrgios improved his score against the Greek to 3-1 and it’s no secret that this is his favorite surface. In spite of the fact that Stef fell at the first hurdle in the last two appearances at the All-England club, he came here after winning a title in Mallorca on Saturday.
Both of them had tough first round matches, but soared comfortably in straight sets in round two. This quarter of the draw is wide open for either one of these men since the only two remaining seeds are Jenson Brooksby (seeded 29th) and Alex de Minaur (seeded 19th).
Is Kyrgios ready for another scalp at Wimbledon or will Tsitsipas finally have a breakthrough on Wimbledon’s grass?

Coco Gauff (11) v Amanda Anisimova (20)
While the Williams sisters write the final chapters of their careers, it’s time for the young American’s to show what they are made off.
Coco Gauff is coming off her maiden Grand slam final appearance at Roland Garros and is eager to maintain her major run at the place where she was discovered in 2019. On the other hand, Amanda Anisimova had her best result at the 2019 Roland Garros where she made the semifinals and is yet to make her mark on grass.
Both of them played one tournament prior to Wimbledon, with Gauff making the semifinals in Berlin. She defeated last year’s Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova along the way, before falling to Ons Jabeur. Anisimova got to the quarterfinals of Bad Homburg before falling to Simona Halep in straight sets.
Gauff defeated the older American in their only head to head on clay in Parma last year, but there’s going to be a lot more pressure when they open up the program on Center court on Saturday.
Honorable mentions
Iga Swiatek v Alize Cornet and Barbora Krejcikova v Ajla Tomljanovic – the ladies who won the last two editions of Roland Garros are expecting tricky opponents on their way to last 16.
