Iga Świątek defeated Petra Martic 6–2, 7–5 in the second round of Wimbledon on grass on 7 July 2023, confirming her status as a heavy pre-match favourite with odds of 1.04 to Martic's 17.46. The Polish world number one controlled the match from the outset, securing the first set with relative ease before consolidating her advantage in a more competitive second set that required a break in the final stages. Świątek's grass-court performance demonstrated her ability to translate clay-court dominance to the surface, though the competitive nature of the second set suggested Martic offered sufficient resistance to warrant respect. The result maintains Świątek's unbeaten record against Martic and positions her favourably for the third round.
