Zheng Qinwen vs. Katerina Siniakova Head-to-Head, Prediction and Betting Odds for Wimbledon 2025 Round-1

May 25, 2025; Paris, FR; Qinwen Zheng of China celebrates winning her match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on day one at Roland Garros Stadium.

In a rematch of their Round of 128 encounter from two years ago, Zheng Qinwen and Katerina Siniakova will lock horns in the opening round of Wimbledon 2025 on Monday. It will be the reigning Olympic champion vs the doubles World No. 1 in this blockbuster match-up on Court-3. Can the No. 5 seed progress to the second round?

Zheng Qinwen has a career-best Round of 32 showing at Wimbledon so far (in 2022). The Chinese powerhouse reached the semifinals in her sole preparatory tournament at the HSBC Championships in London. The 22-year-old is searching for her first title of the season – and is yet to reach a final in 2025 to do so. Nonetheless, reaching the QFs or better at 6 out of 10 competitions has ensured a No. 5 seeding for the Paris Olympics gold medalist.

While Katerina Siniakova is known for her doubles prowess, she is also a former Top-30 starlet in singles. The Czech veteran has won just as many career singles trophies as Zheng (5), and also holds the edge in the rivalry against the Chinese No. 1 player. After an opening round exit at the Libema Open, the 29-year-old made two impressive Round of 16 runs after coming through qualifying in Berlin and Bad Homburg. She enters this match with a singles record of 19-15 in 2025.

Zheng Qinwen vs Katerina Siniakova Wimbledon 2025 Prediction

Although she is undefeated against Qinwen on grass, this is a rejuvenated version of China’s premier WTA star. The serve machine has improved her movement on grass, as well as the control she exerts on groundstrokes. Siniakova is unlikely to find success with the same weapons that helped her taste past success. Expect the No. 5 seed to prevail.

Prediction: Zheng Qinwen in straight sets.
