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

Ysaline Bonaventure vs Zhuoxuan Bai<\/h4>\n

Jack:<\/em>
\nIt\u2019s early days in the career of Zhuoxuan Bai but she\u2019s already notched a 77% match win-rate over the course of 122 matches. There\u2019s something formidable about the world #191 who will be ready to battle against the heavy strikes of Ysaline Bonaventure.
\nPrediction: Bai in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jakub:<\/em>
\nOne of the weaker first round matchups here, Bonaventure being the slight favorite for me with more experience under her belt.
\nPrediction: Bonaventure in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nBonaventure has just one Grand Slam match win to her name, at the US Open<\/a>, while Bai is playing in her first Grand Slam. This is a tricky one to call. Bonaventure is higher ranked android experienced at Grand Slam level, I\u2019ll give her the edge based on that.
\nPrediction: Bonaventure in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Alize Cornet vs Nao Hibino<\/h4>\n

Jack:<\/em>
\nAlize Cornet may not be in the greatest form but she didn\u2019t defeat Iga Swiatek<\/a> at last year\u2019s Wimbledon<\/a> by chance. The Frenchman has a fantastic game for grass and should find her feet against Nao Hibino, who will be left a little underpowered on the surface.
\nPrediction: Cornet in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jakub:<\/em>
\nCornet has struggled this season but the potential second round against defending champion is just too delicious to resist; I have to pick the Frenchwoman here.
\nPrediction: Cornet in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nThe French veteran has twice reached the fourth round at Wimbledon and reached the semifinal at Nottingham a few weeks ago. Her Japanese opponent has yet to go past the second round of a Grand Slam. But Hibino plays an aggressive style that can be very dangerous when done well. I\u2019m going for this match as one of the big shocks of the first round.
\nPrediction: Hibino in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
