 Egas Friyantek vs. Elinas Fadalina is the second quarterfinal for the ladies Wimbledon for 2023. And both players have had to battle their way to the quarterfinal stage. Fadalina started the tournament as an unceded wild card and would take on Venus Williams in the first round. This was easy for Fadalina, getting through in straights 6-4, 6-3. In the second round she'd take on the number 28 seed Mertens. And after splitting the first two sets, Fadalina would run away with it 6-1, 1-6, 6-1. In the third round she'd take on the qualified Kenan who had taken out Goff in the first round. After a close first set, Fadalina would get through in straights 7-6, 6-2. In the fourth round she'd take on the number 19 seed Azarenka, being very impressive throughout the week. And this was a classic. It was Fadalina having to fight back from a set down and play a super tie break at the end, eventually prevailing a 3-2-6, 6-4, 7-6 to advance to another Wimbledon quarterfinal. Egas Friyantek started the tournament off as the number one seed and would take on Zoo in the first round. There was no problem for Fadalina winning in straights 6-1, 6-3. In the second round she'd take on Tormo. And again, no problem for Friyantek getting through in straights 6-2, 6-1. Third round she'd take on the 30th seed Mardic who had played 2-3 setters to get to the stage. And after an easy first set Friyantek would have to fight in the second, getting through in straights again 6-2, 7-5. In the fourth round she'd take on the number 14 seed Benchich who had been to the fourth round a couple of times at Wimbledon over her career. And this was a struggle which Friyantek being down a set and match points, fighting back to win to get through in a 3-hour match 6-7, 7-6, 6-3 to advance to her first Wimbledon quarterfinal. These two have only played the one time before. That was in Rome two years ago. Friyantek getting to win that day in straight sets but totally different surface. Rome is of course one of the slower clay courts. And we're playing on grass which a much quicker court could change the result here. Is Fadalina going to win this one? She needs to use the crowd. Everybody loves this story which Fadalina coming back from having a kid. You know playing so well at Slam so quickly as well because she only came back a couple of months ago and I reckon she was going to get the crowd so use the crowd and also just try and get everything back from Friyantek. We know that the more you get back into Friyantek the harder it is for her to hit a winner so if she can just get more of the shots back maybe she can frustrate Friyantek a little bit. Is Friyantek going to win this one? She needs to be more aggressive. Against Bencic she was the more defensive player because of course Bencic hits the ball so flat and hard so Friyantek is going to have to be that player unless she wants to play 30-shot rallies with Fadalina. She's going to have to be a little bit more aggressive than she was against Bencic. It's going to be such a fun matchup of course. The great story is Fadalina and of course Friyantek making it to her first quarterfinal of Wimbledon and possibly going to make it three out of the last four slams so she can win this tournament. I'm going to go against Friyantek to win this one. I feel like she just has a little bit more left in the tank. She only had that really tough match against Bencic. She doesn't have to play too many tough matches and also the moment and the experience level at the moment is on with Friyantek of course Fadalina still coming back but I'm going to tell you in the comments below who do you think is going to win this one?
