Zeynep Sonmez has carved out a reliable niche on grass courts, boasting a solid career win rate of nearly 60%. Currently, she stands at a balanced 50% over the last two years, showing a trend of stability with a win percentage of 60% in her last ten matches. Her Elo rating of 2136 reflects a respectable overall standing, complemented by a hard court prowess at 1966. Her serve has proven effective, particularly her first serve, which she lands in play over 61% of the time.
Sonmez arrives at this match after a series of strong performances at WTA Eastbourne, having won three of her last four matches, including a notable victory over Eliott Jacquemot. However, her recent loss to Viktorija Golubic highlights lingering vulnerabilities. With an eye on continuing her upward trajectory, she will aim to exploit Harriet Dart's current struggles, particularly on the grass where Dart has shown inconsistency.

Player Overview
Harriet Dart's career reflects a mixed bag of performances, with a 55.3% overall win rate. Over the last two years, she has shown a slight uptick, achieving 57.1% of her matches. However, her recent form suggests a decline, particularly with a 40% win rate in her last five matches, which raises questions about her mental and physical readiness. Dart's Elo rating of 2025 indicates she remains competitive, but her serve has been less reliable, with a first serve percentage below 55%.
Dart's recent outings have been disappointing, with losses to Hannah Klugman and Kamilla Rakhimova, underscoring her current struggles. Despite a solid win against Liudmila Samsonova earlier in June, her inability to secure victories in tightly contested matches has become a concern. Facing Sonmez, she will need to quickly find her footing, as another defeat could further dampen her confidence heading into the remainder of the tournament.
