World No.1 Iga Swiatek will begin her Wimbledon campaign on Tuesday afternoon with a first-round clash against Jana Fett.
2022 has been a remarkable year for Swiatek with titles won at Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart and Rome before adding the French Open to her list.
Indeed, the Pole has drawn level with all-time great Venus Williams for the longest winning streak this century and a win over Fett would see her claim that record outright.
245th-ranked Fett might be a huge underdog in their first-round clash but has won her three qualifying matches in SW19 thus far, so can approach in some confidence at least.
Here’s everything you need to know about their first-round meeting.

Swiatek vs Fett prediction
While Swiatek would surely have liked more time on the grass in the build-up to Wimbledon, it’s difficult to see a way in which Fett beats her outside of a complete collapse.
A junior Wimbledon champion, the gulf in class looks too vast.
