Elina Svitolina, the Wimbledon 21st seed, will play world number 42 Wang Xinyu in the fourth round of this year’s grass major. Ahead of this Monday clash, Let's take a look at the match statistics and predictions.

This is the fourth time Svitolina has qualified for the second week of competing at Wimbledon. The Ukrainian has enjoyed most of her Grand Slam level success at SW19. In her last three appearances here, she qualified for the semi-finals, the most recent being last season. After a gruelling three-set battle in the first round with Magda Linette, Svitolina has grown in confidence in each round.

She won her last two matches in straight sets. In the last round, she overcame the challenge of two-time finalist Ons Jabeur and won by the loss of seven games. Despite her run to this round, Svitolina has dropped in the live ranking. She is currently placed at number 36 after losing more than 500 ranking points.

Xinyu Wang is having her best-ever performance at Wimbledon. Before arriving for her third appearance at this major, the Chinese number two had never won more than one match in the main draw. She has now won three times and is one win away from a first-ever quarter-final appearance at a major.

Wang, who has required a decider to win all three of her fixtures here, defeated Harriet Dart in the third round. She had to come from a set down to secure the victory which was her 22nd win of the season. Advancing to the round of 16 has moved Wang seven places up in the live ranking.

She is now placed 35th in the WTA, three places shy of her career-high world ranking. This will be the first ever match between them and the winner will play Elena Rybakina or Anna Kalinskaya next.
