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

Aoi Ito vs Kamilla Rakhimova<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nRakhimova had a good run to the quarterfinal in Eastbourne before Wimbledon. This will be Ito\u2019s first match in a Grand Slam main draw. Rakhimova has been inconsistent this season, but she starts as the favorite in this matchup.
\nPrediction: Rakhimova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Nurein:<\/em>
\nRakhimova has never won a main draw match at Wimbledon, but this is undoubtedly her best preparation for the event. She was a quarterfinalist in Eastbourne as a qualifier and should use that momentum to get a much-needed win at SW19.
\nPrediction: Rakhimova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesh:<\/em>
\nIto is a youngster with real potential, but it’s hard to back or trust her at this point. The Russian is far likelier to win.
\nPrediction: Rakhimova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Harriet Dart vs Dalma Galfi<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nDart played well against defending Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova in Eastbourne and had match points to win. However, she has endured a terrible season overall, and I feel the encounter with Krejcikova could hinder instead of inspiring her. The Briton might be in danger against any opponent at Wimbledon.
\nPrediction: Galfi in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Nurein:<\/em>
\nDart is match-tough in these conditions and on home soil. Dalma Galfi has struggled to find form this swing, so I\u2019m going with the Briton to show a bit more assurance and pick up a valuable win.
\nPrediction: Dart in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesh:<\/em>
\nI am really impressed with Dart at the moment. Sure, she hasn’t put matches away that she should have, but she is playing really well right now.
\nPrediction: Dart in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
