Day 3 Main Picks: Men-
Novak Djokovic vs Jordan Thompson
Novak 3-0 @2/5
Djokovic’s tournament began with an unusual incident as his match was delayed for around an hour and a half due to a slippery court, despite the presence of the roof. However, apart from this hiccup, the seven-time champion showcased a composed performance throughout. Although he didn’t push himself beyond first gear, he also never seemed to face any significant challenges. It’s likely that we can anticipate a similar level of play from Djokovic in today’s match against Jordan Thompson.
Michael Mmoh vs Maximillian Marterer
Mmoh @6/5
In what can be considered the pinnacle of his career thus far, Michael Mmoh secured an impressive victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime in the opening round. This triumph had been a well-deserved achievement for the skilled American, who had been working towards such a breakthrough for a considerable period of time. Although Maximillian Marterer possesses the necessary firepower to pose challenges for Mmoh, he must remain vigilant to avoid any drop in performance. Nonetheless, Mmoh is expected to possess the necessary abilities to overcome the German opponent and emerge victorious by a narrow margin.
David Goffin vs Marcelo Barrios Viera
Goffin @4/11
Goffin appears to be in excellent shape, showcasing a strong form that aligns well with the grass surface. Although he benefited from Nick Kyrgios’ withdrawal, he is fully prepared to seize the opportunity presented to him.
Lorenzo Musetti vs Jaume Munar
Musetti 3-0 @6/5
Munar’s style of play is not particularly suited for grass courts. He had the fortune of facing a struggling Isner, whose career appears to be in decline. On the other hand, Musetti is a promising talent and widely regarded as a future star in the sport. Considering these factors, it is highly likely that Musetti will have a straightforward victory in this matchup.
Day 3 Women’s Picks:
Sofia Kenin vs Xiyu Wang
Kenin @4/9
Kenin emerged victorious in her match against Gauff, strategically placing the ball in her opponent’s forehand corner and capitalizing on the resulting errors. Lately, the American has displayed a tendency to swing from remarkable performances to disappointing ones. However, considering the draw, it seems that Kenin has a favorable chance to continue her momentum and progress further in the tournament.
Victoria Azarenka vs Nadia Podoroska
Azarenka @1/4
Nadia Podoroska surpassed expectations by securing a notable victory over the in-form Tereza Martincova in the first round, highlighting her commendable performance. On the other hand, Victoria Azarenka seemed to lack her usual rhythm in the opening round against Yuan Yue. Despite these factors, it is highly likely that Azarenka will still emerge as the victor in this match.
Alycia Parks vs Ana Bogdan
Over 22.5 games @5/6
Bogdan proved to be a source of frustration for Samsonova in their previous match by consistently returning a multitude of shots, and she will aim to employ a similar strategy in this encounter. Parks, on the other hand, has struggled with inconsistency and suffered numerous losses since her indoor title win in Lyon. However, if Parks is seeking to secure noteworthy victories on a grand stage without the protection of a roof, Wimbledon could present a favorable opportunity for her to shine.
Iga Swiatek vs Sara Sorribes Tormo
Swiatek 2-0 @1/5
Sorribes Tormo cruised to victory in her opening round, and it is anticipated that she will pose a considerable challenge for Swiatek. However, the reigning World No. 1 exhibited impressive form in her first match, displaying an increased level of comfort on the grass surface. With her sharpness and confidence, it seems likely that Swiatek will secure another win in this upcoming encounter.
