Barbora Krejcikova and Alexandra Eala meet in the first round of Wimbledon on Tuesday, July 1. The match will tentatively start at 8:30 a.m. ET and will be broadcast ESPN.
Krejcikova, the defending Wimbledon champion, gets her title defense underway on Tuesday. The problem? It hasn’t been the smoothest of starts to 2025 and she faces a stern test for a few reasons right off the hop in the rising star Eala.

Krejcikova vs Eala Preview
Barbora Krejcikova Betting Preview
As I mentioned above, it hasn’t been sunshine and roses by any measure in 2025 for the defending champ.
Injuries have played a big role and Wimbledon will be just the fifth tournament Krejcikova's contested in 2025, with Eastbourne (her tuneup for this week on grass) being the first time she’d won back-to-back matches on the year.
