🎾 WTA Stuttgart: Swiatek vs Fett

🎾 WTA Stuttgart: Swiatek vs Fett – Match Preview

🧠 Form & Context

🇵🇱 Iga Swiatek

  • Clay Dominance: Four-time Roland-Garros champ returns to her best surface
  • Stuttgart Record: Two-time champion (2022, 2023), 10–1 overall
  • 2025 Consistency: Five deep runs (QFs or SFs), but still chasing first title of the year
  • Vs Lower Ranked: Won 38 consecutive matches vs players ranked outside the top 100 before Miami

🇭🇷 Jana Fett

  • Grind Factor: Over 7.5 hours on court this week after three consecutive three-set matches
  • Big Win: Beat Donna Vekic in R1 for her first top-20 win since 2017
  • Revival Story: After years off the radar, Fett has now won six WTA main draw matches in the last year
  • Potential Fatigue: Emotional and physical toll could weigh heavy vs the world No. 1

🔍 Match Breakdown

Swiatek thrives on clay, and Stuttgart’s indoor conditions only make her even more dangerous. Her heavy topspin, rally control, and relentless pressure are perfectly suited to break down opponents who lack movement or depth off the ground.

Fett has already overachieved this week, but facing a fresh Swiatek is a massive step up. With Iga likely eager to assert early dominance and find her rhythm ahead of deeper rounds, this match could be one-way traffic.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Swiatek to win in straight sets

This is Iga’s comfort zone. Expect a routine win for the defending champion as she kicks off her title defense.
