Day 3 at Wimbledon will see the second round begin in both the women’s and men’s singles draws. The first round already produced plenty of upsets, especially on the women’s side of the tournament. What does the second round hold? As always, our writers are here to share their thoughts on all the matches. We split Wednesday’s matches between this article and three others–featuring Ons Jabeur vs Katarzyna Kawa<\/a>, Emma Raducanu vs Caroline Garcia<\/a>, and Maria Sakkari vs Viktoriya Tomova<\/a>. Predicting these matches are Damian Kust, Jakub Bobro, and Jim Smith.<\/p>\n

Wimbledon Day 3 Women’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Alison Riske vs Maja Chwalinska<\/h4>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nMaja Chwalinska plays an unusual style filled with slices and mixing pace, but when an opponent can overpower her and get out of these patterns, she\u2019s often left without many options. Alison Riske is almost a grass specialist and should be able to solve the Chwalinska riddle.
\nPrediction: Riske in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jakub:<\/em>
\nVery rarely does a player bagel someone in their first set in a Slam main draw but Chwalinska did exactly that against Katerina Siniakova, closing the match out in straight sets. The Pole is fun to watch but will have a much tougher challenge against grass expert Riske. The American made the finals of Nottingham this year and did not have any trouble against Yvena In-Albon. It will certainly be an interesting match-up but I do see Riske winning here.
\nPrediction: Riske in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nChwalinska continued her excellent Wimbledon<\/a> campaign with a dominant first-round win over Katerina Siniakova and, although she will be the underdog here, she should not be underestimated. That said, Riske has an excellent record at Wimbledon<\/a> and the American\u2019s first-round win over Ylena In-Albon was impressive. Chwalinska will make her work for this, but expect Riske to have the edge.
\nPrediction: Riske in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
