Iga Swiatek will face Anna Blinkova in the quarterfinal of the 2024 Bad Homburg Open on Friday (June 30).
Iga Swaitek is getting the practice she needs for the forthcoming Wimbledon Championships. She arrived in the tournament on the back of a title-winning campaign at the 2024 French Open.
She opened her Bad Homburg Open campaign with a hard-fought win over Tatjana Maria in the first round. But she breezed past Jil Teichmann in straight sets 6-3, 6-1 in her second round. After beating Teichman, she improved to 35/6 this season. The Pole has lifted three trophies this season, in Qatar, Stuttgart, and the Roland Garros in Paris.
Anna Blinkova set her match against the World No.1 by beating the likes of Sabina Lisicki and Leylah Annie Fernandez in the previous rounds. The Russian has a 20/16 win-loss record this season and is still searching for a trophy. Prior to Bad Homburg Open, she was knocked out from the French Open in the third round and from Berlin Open in the second round.
