H2H History
Kvitova has won 5 of the 9 meetings against Garcia. It was Garcia who won the most recent match in 2022 Cincinnati. Eight of the 9 meetings were decided in straight sets. This will be the first meeting on grass.
Randy’s Pick
You can make a case for either side here, but it’s fair to say Kvitova has been the more consistent player this year and has done more against more quality players. Garcia has fizzled out at times in tournaments and isn’t hitting her spots as consistent. Kvitova has also won 5 of the 9 meetings against Garcia, which means she’s been slightly able to dictate the pace more. The price is reasonable.
I like Kvitova to make the semifinals.
