Command Analysis
Sloane Stephens performed pretty well during the clay part of the season, winning 11 matches out of 17. American player's most recent official match was played on June 7, in Paris, at Roland Garros. In the round of 16 she took a defeat from the eventual winner of that tournament, Barbora Krejcikova (0:6, 2:6).
In the current season Stephens didn't played a single match on the grass. It is hard to judge, how well is she prepared for the match against Kvitova at London.
Petra Kvitova is frustrated after her disappointing walkover from the Roland Garros after the first round. During the post-match press-conference Czech player fell and injured her ankle. After that Petra participated in only one grass tournament, at Berlin.
On that competition Kvitova reached the semi-final and lost to Kerber (6:3, 4:6, 6:7). We should note that in two of three winning matches she needed three sets to record a victory.
