There’s no match history between these two players.

Give Kovinic credit for winning two matches on the grand slam level despite having little main tour success this year. However, she’s now run into a buzz saw in Swiatek, who isn’t losing sets, let alone matches. As Ive said before, there’s no betting against Swiatek as long as she stays in this form. This run is historic.

Give me Swiatek in straight sets.
