Wimbledon 2021: Sloane Stephens vs Petra Kvitova head to head record and preview

Sloane Stephens arrives at Wimbledon 2021 with no match practice on the grass. She last competed at the Roland Garros event last month where she looked in good touch as she got into the second week of the Slam. The world number 59 was defeated by eventual champion Barbora Krejčíkova. Meanwhile, the grasscourt Grand Slam remains the American's least successful major of the four as she has not made it past the quarter-finals.

On the other hand, the latest Petra Kvitova news is positive as the Czech "is stable right now" after suffering an ankle injury during this year's French Open. Kvitova made her comeback at the Bad Homburg Open a week ago where she was defeated by eventual champion Angelique Kerber in the semi-finals. With Kvitova facing a former Grand Slam champion in Stephens for her first round, her Wimbledon 2021 start is undoubtedly an incredibly difficult one. In terms of the Stephens vs Kvitova head to head record, the American leads the Czech by 2-1. However, Kvitova won the last encounter between the two at the 2019 Wuhan Open.
