Wimbledon Qualifying: Katarzyna Kawa’s Path and Competitive Trends
Katarzyna Kawa is set to face Lucrezia Stefanini in the second round of the 2026 Wimbledon qualifying tournament on Wednesday, June 24. Kawa earned her spot after defeating Susan Bandecchi 6:1, 6:3 in the opening round, while Stefanini advanced by overcoming Luisina Giovannini in a tight two-set match, according to reports from Polsat Sport.
When and where is the Kawa-Stefanini match?
The match between Katarzyna Kawa and Lucrezia Stefanini is scheduled for Wednesday, June 24. Organizers have placed the contest as the second match of the day on Court 12, following the conclusion of the Gauthier Onclin versus Shintaro Mochizuki fixture, which begins at 12:00 local time, as confirmed by Polsat Sport.
How does Kawa’s current form compare to the field?
Kawa enters the grass-court season following a victory at the Modena Challenger. This recent momentum appears to have carried over to her performance against Bandecchi, a match that concluded in one hour and 14 minutes. Currently ranked 121st in the world and seeded 14th in the qualifying draw, Kawa’s trajectory reflects a common trend among players attempting to bridge the gap between Challenger-level success and Grand Slam main draw qualification. In contrast, Stefanini’s path to the second round required navigating two tie-breaks, a sign that she is tested under pressure, according to official tournament brackets.
