Marin Cilic v Daniil Medvedev
I really want to fight Cilic in this fight somehow.
The former Wimbledon finalist should prove a tough opponent for Medvedev, a player who has never been at home on the grass.
He has already lost to Daniel Altmaier and Kamil Majchszak on this surface this season, but it is also worth noting his recent struggles at Grand Slam tournaments – four of the last five have seen the Russian exit in the first round.
Cilic, a Den Bosch quarter-finalist heading into this tournament, is 12/5 to collect five from six, which is worth a look.
While it’s fair to say his best days are behind him – his Wimbledon final defeat to one Roger Federer came nine years ago – he showed what he’s still capable of here just 12 months ago when he caused a big upset by beating Jack Draper (I remember backing him at great cost that day).
He made the last 16 and I’m sure he will relish the chance to play again here in SW19.
Cilic pushed Medvedev to five sets here in 2021 – he led by two sets – and although he admittedly lost to the Russian in Den Bosch a few weeks ago, the match went to crunch time again.
It might be worth taking +4.5 on the playing handicap, but I’d rather back Cilic to win the first set at 13/8.
Medvedev has now lost the first set in 11 of his last 18 matches, while his poor performance at Grand Slams is also reflected in these statistics: in eight of his last nine matches at majors, he has dropped an early set.
Adam Walton in Dino Prizmic
Prizmic made his name by beating compatriot Novak Djokovic at the Rome Masters earlier this season, but I get the impression he is still appreciated for that win.
The Serbian won only two of his next five matches, with his only game on grass defeating Rinki Hijikata at the Queen’s Club.
This is one of three matches on this surface in his career. Only one victory was recorded, and that was over a player who was not in the top 200 in the world.
In these matches he faced a total of 30 break points – a serve that worked well against Djokovic, clearly did not bring the desired rewards.
His power certainly has the potential to dethrone Walton, but the Australian has far more experience on grass and arrives here with confidence renewed after three wins in Mallorca last week, including one over Nick Kyrgios.
Last season he was very competitive against Carlos Alcaraz at Queen’s Club, losing 6-4, 7-6 in a match that featured just one break of serve.
In my opinion, Walton just looks like an underdog who could very well succeed, and I’m happy to support him despite the odds.
