The read

Gibson's superior recent form against stronger opposition and Jones' poor grass-court history give Gibson a clear edge on this surface.

• Gibson's 2026 grass record is 0-2, but both losses were competitive (6-2 7-6(6) vs Charaeva, 7-6(0) 6-3 vs Frech) and she arrives with a grass-court doubles title in Birmingham.
• Jones' career grass record is 4-11, with a 0-1 mark in 2026 and a 2-4 record in 2025; her clay-heavy game (199 career clay wins) does not translate well to grass.
• Gibson's recent form includes wins over top-20 players Osaka and Jovic on hard courts, showing a higher peak level than Jones' recent wins over lower-ranked opponents.
