The second round of Wimbledon<\/a> is upon us, and it is already looking like we could be in store for another frenzied Grand Slam. Former World No. 1 Naomi Osaka<\/a> looks healthy and ready to make a deep run.\u00a0As always, we at LWOT offer our roundtable predictions for every match on the slate. But who will advance?<\/p>\n

Wimbledon Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Anna Kalinskaya vs Diane Parry<\/h4>\n

Amanda<\/strong>
\nDiane Parry has the sort of playstyle that will frustrate Anna Kalinskaya, who thrives on consistent rhythm in rallies. Kalinskaya\u2019s loss at the French Open came to Maja Chwali\u0144ska, who utilized her variety and extended rallies, and Parry can do the same to get the upset.
\nPrediction: Parry in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan<\/strong>
\nKalinskaya would be a significant favorite on a hard court. On clay and grass, Parry has a better chance. Grass allows her to use her serve and slice effectively. I think a small upset is on the cards here.
\nPrediction: Parry in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Belinda Bencic vs Xinyu Wang<\/h4>\n

Amanda<\/strong>
\nBelinda Bencic needed no time at all to settle into grass, with a dominant win in the first round. Xinyu Wang will pose a greater challenge, and while both are playing well, Bencic is simply the better player and more consistent in tight moments.
\nPrediction: Bencic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan<\/strong>
\nThis is a tough second round for both women. Wang previously defeated Jessica Pegula at Wimbledon, while Bencic is a very good grass-court player. I trust the Swiss player slightly more to stay consistent.
\nPrediction: Bencic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Alycia Parks vs Mananchaya Sawangkaew<\/h4>\n

Amanda<\/strong>
\nMananchaya Sawangkaew was a match point away from losing in the first round and only won because of an injury to the other player. While Alycia Parks can be inconsistent, she played well in her first round and should be able to get a similar result here.
\nPrediction: Parks in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan<\/strong>
\nSurprisingly, Parks hasn\u2019t had more previous success on grass. The American\u2019s huge-serving game suits the surface. I think that style will be enough to overcome Sawangkaew.
\nPrediction: Parks in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Naomi Osaka vs Anastasia Gasanova<\/h4>\n

Amanda<\/strong>
\nDespite a retirement in the final of Bad Homburg, Naomi Osaka looked healthy in her first-round match and won in straight sets. Anastasia Gasanova had an impressive, dominant first-round win. Still, Osaka seems to have found her stride on grass, and this will be a much higher-level opponent for Gasanova to face.
\nPrediction: Osaka in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan<\/strong>
\nOsaka has been showing flashes for a while of getting more comfortable on hard courts, but hasn’t put it all together for a title challenge. The Japanese star remains an outsider to reach the latter stages at Wimbledon. However, I do feel her power will be enough to see off Gasanova.
\nPrediction: Osaka in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
