Predicting this set of matches are Jack Edward, Jakub Bobro, and Jordan Reynolds. Who do you think will advance?<\/p>\n<h2>Wimbledon Day 2 Women&#8217;s Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Paula Badosa vs Alison Riske-Amritraj<\/h4>\n<p><em>Jack:<\/em><br \/>\nThough Paula Badosa hasn\u2019t had much of a warm up coming into <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wimbledon\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Wimbledon<\/a>, she also hadn\u2019t in her previous couple of runs to the round of 16. Her game will be heavy and steady enough to knock Alison Riske-Amritraj, a player on a nine-match losing streak, off of her stride.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Badosa in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jakub:<\/em><br \/>\nRiske has been a strong grass courter in previous years but with barely any wins on the season, it is tough to see her taking out Badosa here. The Spaniard could prove to be a dangerous floater in the draw.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Badosa in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jordan:<\/em><br \/>\nBadosa <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2023\/07\/03\/stefanos-tsitsipas-happinesst-wimbledon\/\" target=\"_self\">has been making more headlines<\/a> for her off-court relationship with Stefanos Tsitsipas than for on-court results. Wimbledon is her first tournament in over a month after missing the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/french-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">French Open<\/a> with injury. Riske is a former quarterfinalist, but doesn\u2019t enter The Championships with much form on grass. But I still think she will come through.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Riske-Armitraj in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[cta id=445 type=cta]<\/p>\n<h4>Kaja Juvan vs Margarita Betova<\/h4>\n<p><em>Jack:<\/em><br \/>\nEven at Margarita Betova\u2019s best, the former world #40 was never that comfortable on grass. Kaja Juvan is a big enough hitter to take Betova even further out of her comfort zone.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Juvan in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jakub:<\/em><br \/>\nBetova, formerly Gasparyan, has not had too much success this season. Juvan came through qualifying and gets a nice draw to start here.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Juvan in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jordan:<\/em><br \/>\nJuvan has twice reached the third round of Wimbledon. That is her best grand slam result despite naturally having a preference for clay. Gasparyan is making her first Grand Slam appearance in over two years after injuries and other issues. Reaching her best level will be tough, giving Juvan the edge.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Juvan in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"wt3tBGAMRsVlgAcsYJ4Vug\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1419456104\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'wt3tBGAMRsVlgAcsYJ4Vug',sig:'l31flDeS6S6A3xnZbogoiPOgu8y3HXfErpRc8ZsWAD8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1419456104',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Sorana Cirstea vs Tatjana Maria<\/h4>\n<p><em>Jack:<\/em><br \/>\nSorana Cirstea\u2019s serve has always been her weakness and, on grass, this tends to leave her vulnerable to some of the bigger returns on tour. Tatjana Maria isn\u2019t one of those players so Cirstea won\u2019t constantly be on the back-foot. I\u2019m still backing <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2022\/07\/06\/tatjana-maria-surprising-wimbledon-semifinalist\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">last year\u2019s semifinalist<\/a> for a gritty win, however, given her slices will be lethal on the fresh courts of Wimbledon.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Maria in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jakub:<\/em><br \/>\nTwo veterans who could pull off upsets here, with Maria coming off of a semifinal run at Wimbledon last year. The German is unlikely to replicate the run of course but she will be a tough out with her slices and net play.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Maria in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jordan:<\/em><br \/>\nThis is a clash of opposites. Cirstea has reached the third round of a grand slam 17 times in her consistent career, but never been to a semifinal. Maria had only reached the third round of a Slam once before last year\u2019s Wimbledon, when she then reached the semifinal. Maria has shown form by reaching a grass court final at a challenger event in Italy. But I am backing Cirstea to be too steady.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Cirstea in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"YL8cRjAnTxdNka1FMCEyrA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1498429596\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'YL8cRjAnTxdNka1FMCEyrA',sig:'qydrngtsYi8UTxdTmhSx1Mk5-nyaiH3wKiXljnoGgmM=',w:'594px',h:'374px',items:'1498429596',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Elena Rybakina vs Shelby Rogers<\/h4>\n<p><em>Jack:<\/em><br \/>\nThere are question marks over <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2022\/07\/09\/elena-rybakina-history-wimbledon-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">the defending champ\u2019s<\/a> health but Elena Rybakina\u2019s time spent off the court will hopefully have given her the opportunity to recover. She should be ready to overpower Shelby Rogers, a player who likes to dictate points herself.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Rybakina in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jakub:<\/em><br \/>\nRybakina is apparently still dealing with illness but the defending champion should have enough to get past Shelby Rogers in the opener, though she will face a lot of challenges in her quarter.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Rybakina in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jordan:<\/em><br \/>\nThe defending champion will be looking to handle the expectations after her shock run to the title last year. She has pushed on well since then, reaching the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/australian-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Australian Open<\/a> final and winning two 1000 events. Rogers is a capable opponent when she is at her best.
