Waltert vs Sherif Prediction 22 July 2026
🔊 In the first round in Hamburg, Simona Waltert takes on Mayar Sherif. The Lausanne champion arrives chasing another title on a slow surface - but there's no easy start here. Germany has lined up a tough opponent right from the draw. Let's work out the best bet. The prediction is below.
Head-to-Head
📊 Maiar Sherif leads the head-to-head 5-1 against Simona Waltert. The last meeting went her way too. It adds to her status as favourite, but it's not the only factor here.
Head-to-head statistics Waltert - Sherif
Simona Waltert Player Overview
Simona Waltert arrives in Hamburg with shaky recent form, five wins from her last ten matches. That run includes a final loss to Paula Badosa in Båstad, followed by a first-round exit at the next tournament. The numbers aren't encouraging either. She holds serve in just 53% of games - below the WTA average - and her double-fault rate is high, around 7% over recent matches. She wins just over half of all points played (51%) and rarely closes out matches without dropping games. Right now, Waltert is well short of her best and trails her upcoming opponent across several key metrics.
Match Results: Simona Waltert
Mayar Sherif Player Overview
Sherif is in excellent form - ten wins in a row, all on clay, capped by the title in Iași after beating Paula Badosa in the final. The numbers back it up: 90% of sets won, 61% of games - well above most of her rivals. She gets through matches without unnecessary complications. Serve holds sit around 52%, but her break-point conversion is strong and double faults are minimal. Consistent results against top opponents make her the clear favourite here.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Is Sherif tired? That's the big question. She's not getting any younger, but she's in excellent form right now. Mayar loves clay too much to give anything up easily. If she takes the court, she'll give everything she has. The bet: Mayar Sherif to win the match. We don't think it's time for her to lose just yet.
