Real danger for Andrey Rublev. The Russian’s Wimbledon record isn’t outstanding – he did reach the Quarters in 2023, but was a first-round casualty last year.
After the first set it was a real fight against Djere, and the grass court game of Lloyd Harris has the potential to cause havoc.
Harris faced Rublev just three weeks back at Roland Garros where he took a set off the Russian, despite being on a surface he historically has struggled on. Expect bulk tiebreakers in this – Rublev played in three from his four sets in the first round, as did the South African. Big overs.
Next Best
The young American has shown a bit this year. Starting the year outside the top-200, Quinn is now ranked a career-high 89 in the world and was solid against a home-crowd favourite in his first-round match.
He now faces Kamil Majchrzak who upset a very injured and underdone Matteo Berrettini. Prior to this match, the Pole had won just one grass court match from his last eight dating back to 2021.
No doubt the five sets also took a bit out of the journeyman – the in-form Quinn should case too many problems in this.
Cannot believe I’m backing someone ranked 461 in the world, but the 22-year-old Brit would have played a lot of grass court tennis over his life which is more than you can say for Darderi.
The Italian did upset Safiullin in the first-round, but the Russian is in the midst of a horror 2025 with a 10-16 record which includes going just 3-12 against top-100 opposition.
Fery just upset Alexei Popyrin in the first-round, who has never been great on grass but is twice the player Darderi is on the surface. Think the Brit gets it done in front of his home crowd.
Wow Taylor Fritz has played his ‘get out of jail’ card early this tournament, coming back from 5-1 down in the fourth set tiebreaker to complete a big win from 2-0 sets down.
It was a huge match for Fritz, and one that was no doubt enduring playing over Days 1 and 2. It doesn’t get any easier for the American though against the in-form Gabriel Diallo.
It’s a rough start for Fritz, with Diallo entering Wimbledon off the back of winning Hertogenbosch in the lead-up. The Canadian has the game for the grass courts, and was clinical in his opening round win over Altmaier. Another tough match for the American with Diallo a big chance to cause an upset and make a serious run at this quarter paying $9.
We said Siniakova would beat Qinwen Zheng in our Day 1 preview, and although the match got pushed to Day 2 the Czech still got it done. She now faces Naomi Osaka, and she can cause another upset here.
The pair haven’t met for 6 years where Siniakova upset Osaka at the French Open – the Japanese the world number one at the time.
Osaka got it done against Talia Gibson in the first-round but it was far from clinical. I’m really struggling to trust the Japanese to back-up in these major tournaments, and winning just three of her last nine matches against opposition inside the top-100, I think the natural grass court game of Siniakova will be too much.
Value Bet
The Brit enters Wimbledon off the back of a Quarter Final run at Eastbourne, and took no time breezing past Lajovic in the first-round.
I was quite surprised to see Billy Harris enter this second-round clash with Borges as the underdog – the Portuguese did upset Cerundolo in their first-round clash, but the Argentine has really hit a wall this year off the back of his French Open failure.
Borges is much better suited to hard courts, and from his last 13 grass court matches he’s won just three of them – the other two were against opponents ranked outside the top-100.
This could go the distance, and Harris has to be a huge chance in front of his home crowd.
