Day 1 of Wimbledon is one of the most hectic days on the tennis calendar. Half of the first round–32 men’s matches and 32 women’s matches–will be completed on Monday. As always, we’re here at LWOT to share our thoughts on all of them for you. The women’s matches are split between eight sets of predictions. In addition to this article, we have articles featuring Petra Kvitova vs Sloane Stephens<\/a>, Garbine Muguruza vs Fiona Ferro<\/a>, Jessica Pegula vs Caroline Garcia<\/a>, Iga Swiatek vs Su-Wei Hsieh<\/a>, Madison Keys vs Katie Swan<\/a>, Karolina Pliskova vs Tamara Zidansek<\/a>, and Sofia Kenin vs Xinyu Wang<\/a>. Predicting this set of matches are Fraser Learmonth, Tracey Essex, and Jakub Bobro.<\/p>\n

Wimbledon Women’s Day 1 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Nadia Podoroska vs Ann Li<\/h4>\n

Fraser:<\/em>
\nThis should be a great match between two young up-and-comers on the women’s tour. Li is a promising talent who is still finding her feet in the top tier of the game while Podoraska has established herself<\/a> as a deserving feature in the Top 100. Li’s game suits grass better and I think she’ll come through here, but it should be an entertaining match.
\nPrediction: Li in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Tracey:<\/em>
\nPodoroska has so much upside to her game. And, her recent quarterfinal appearance in Germany leads me to believe that she\u2019s the better prepared of the two. Certainly, Li can keep pace in the initial stages. But, once Podoroska hits her stride, she will command in the decider.
\nPrediction: Podoroska in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jakub:<\/em>
\nAnn Li, 2017 Wimbledon Junior finalist, is looking to impress in her first main draw appearance here. The 21-year-old\u2019s lead-up was a mixed bag, but she did take a set off Petra Kvitova in Bad Homburg. Podoroska is also going to be making her Wimbledon<\/a> main draw debut, getting wins over Mara Guth and Patricia Maria Tig before also losing to Petra Kvitova in Bad Homburg. Li is considered the favorite, perhaps because of her game suiting the surface more.
\nPrediction: Li in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
