Barbora Krejcikova, the 2024 Wimbledon champion, and Mirra Andreeva, the current French Open champion, meet in an eye-catching second-round tie at the All-England Club.
Both players earned routine straight-set wins in the first round on Monday, continuing their excellent buildups.
Andreeva arrived at Wimbledon just a few weeks after winning her first grand slam in Paris, while Krejcikova then made the final at Rosmalen, her first final since winning Wimbledon two years ago.

Barbora Krejcikova vs Mirra Andreeva Prediction
Best Bet - Mirra Andreeva -3.5 Match Handicap @ 4/5
Russian No.5 seed Andreeva is riding the crest of a wave at the moment and should be too hot for Krejcikova in round two of the ladies singles.
The 19-year-old recently-crowned French Open champion is 11 years younger than Krejcikova and that may well be a factor as the heat starts to return to Wimbledon.
Krejcikova beat Hannah Klugman 6-1 6-4 in her opener on Monday but coughed up 11 break points and a more experienced player than the 633rd-ranked Briton would have taken a few of those.
Andreeva's serve in her 7-5 6-4 win over Magda Linette was fast and heavy and that extra power can work in her favour. Andreeva is a short price and rightly so; take a risk by backing her to give 3.5 games on the match handicap.
Alternative Bet - First Barbora Krejcikova Service Game - Break Point @ 10/11
Krejcikova's serve came under intense pressure from Hannah Klugman and will again against Andreeva.
The Czech veteran faced 11 breaks against the gutsy British outsider, fending off 10 of them.
Klugman knows she could put Krejcikova's serve under pressure and so too does Andreeva - right from the off. Back the Czech's first service game to produce a break point.

Pays @ 13/2
Andreeva sent down eight aces in a pretty dominant serving display against Linette in round one on Monday.
On a faster court, and albeit against an excellent return-of-server, take the Russian to send down three or more.
Both these players' first-round games produced 10 games and take a chance on this tussle also going past 9.5.
Take both players to send down at least three double faults. Krejcikova served three doubles in a short game against Klugman, the more erratic Andreeva seven in a longer duel with Linette.
Finally, take Andreeva to trap well and lead after six games, just as she did on Monday.
