Harriet Dart vs Kamilla Rakhimova 12 June 2026 Prediction

Kamilla Rakhimova reached the second round of the grass-court tournament in London after Belinda Bencic withdrew. The Uzbekistan player will face local favorite Harriet Dart. Can Rakhimova level the head-to-head record?

Surface speed: 8/10

Dart

The British player has one win and one loss on grass in 2026. This week in London, Harriet pulled off a notable upset in the opening round, beating the powerful Samsonova 5-7, 6-4, 6-3. Across her career on this surface, Dart has a 47-54 record.

Harriet is comfortable at her home tournament, where she has strong support from the local crowd. She has a steady flat forehand and tries to play at a fast tempo, adjusting well to the low bounce. The British player moves well around the court and often takes advantage of opponents’ errors on grass.

Rakhimova

Kamilla is ranked No. 78, but her 2026 season has been inconsistent so far (13-17). On grass this season, she has one win and one loss. Rakhimova lost to Maria in the final round of qualifying (4-6, 3-6), but entered the main draw as a lucky loser and received a place directly in the second round. Across her career on grass, the Uzbekistan player has 16 wins and 14 losses.

Kamilla is more comfortable on slower courts, where she has more time to set up her heavy shots. On grass, she does not always have enough movement speed or clean returning to keep control of rallies. Rakhimova is difficult to rate as a strong grass-court player, which was clear from her underwhelming performance against Maria in London qualifying.

Head-to-Head

The players have met once before. In 2024, Dart won their Cincinnati hard-court qualifying match in three sets: 6-4, 2-6, 6-0.

Surface and Expected Scenario

The fast London grass should favor the British player. Dart has already adjusted to the courts, found a good rhythm, and gained confidence after a strong first-round win. Rakhimova reached the second round without playing a main-draw match, and her current form on this surface is questionable, especially after her qualifying loss. Harriet should be able to use the home support and her greater grass-court experience to dictate more rallies and win this match.

Harriet Dart vs Kamilla Rakhimova Prediction: Dart to Win at 1.82

Dart is priced at 1.82 to win. We estimate the true probability of this bet at 55%, which makes anything above 1.82 playable. Our assessment is based on the British player’s greater comfort on grass, her 101 career matches on the surface, and her first-round win over Samsonova. We expect Dart to move on with the support of the home crowd. Our pick is Dart to win at 1.82.
