La Galicienne holds its rank

Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro did not come to Rosmalen just to make up the numbers. The Galician boasts 3 wins and 1 loss on grass over the last 52 weeks, a fourth round at Wimbledon 2025, and stats on the surface that speak for themselves: 73.6% of points won on first serve, 76.4% of service games won, and a positive match efficiency of 1.047. Her aggressive backhand game, her ability to handle tight situations with 59.8% of pressure points won on serve, and to generate 2.13 pressure points per return game make her a player who knows exactly how to handle herself on this surface.

On the other side of the net, Ajla Tomljanović is piling up deficits: five consecutive defeats on all surfaces, 0–3 on grass this season, and a match efficiency of 0.588 on grass, which reflects a player who loses more games than she wins even in her victories. Her two Wimbledon quarterfinals date back to 2021 and 2022, when she was in the best period of her career. The 2026 Tomljanović, ranked 100th and in deep crisis, is a different player.
