Wimbledon Day 2 Women’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Karolina Pliskova vs Tereza Martincova<\/h4>\n

Fraser:<\/em>
\nPliskova should win this encounter. Martincova is a very good player having a very good year but she will find it hard to make headway on the Pliskova serve. Martincova also doesn\u2019t have the variety to make life uncomfortable for Pliskova. If this turns into a hitting contest–and I suspect it will–then Pliskova holds the edge and will win it.
\nPrediction: Pliskova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jakub:<\/em>
\nAn all-Czech derby and a rematch of their third round here last year. Both are struggling a bit this season, Pliskova having a tough time to recapture he form from before her wrist injury while Martincova is not getting wins regularly on the main tour. The former No. 1 made the final here last year and though she will likely not go that far, Pliskova should be winning here.
\nPrediction: Pliskova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nPliskova has the power to succeed on the grass, she demonstrated as much by reaching the final last season, but her movement has been exposed on this surface in the past. But a repeat of that looks unlikely indeed, with this season having been a frustrating one for the Czech. But it would still be a surprise if she did not get past her compatriot here.
\nPrediction: Pliskova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
