Our panelists offer their predictions.<\/p>\n<h3>Mirra Andreeva vs Mayar Sherif<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2220264662\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/2220264662?et=6lH_f7U5SH9L3itDv0xUww&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=R6mBmz3-E1bTRpmuNGjHQOiO2iA_gYGj2lPtiSq2XKE=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nurein: This is when Conchita Mart\u00ednez\u2019s wisdom might come in handy for Andreeva. The Spanish coach is a former Wimbledon champion and can add to Andreeva\u2019s attacking prowess on grass. Sherif is playing on her least favorite surface and is usually very vulnerable.<br \/>\n<strong>Andreeva in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yesh: This is not the easiest of draws for Mirra Andreeva, who still has very little experience on grass courts. She&#8217;s exceptionally talented and should win, but Sherif will make her work for it.<br \/>\nPrediction: <strong>Andreeva in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manuel: Even if Andreeva hasn\u2019t quite come to grips with grass yet and has been struggling on the surface, this is a matchup she should be able to win even if a deep run her seems unlikely. <strong>Andreeva in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs Ella Seidel<\/h3>\n<p>Nurein: Last year, Bouzas Maneiro shocked the defending champion Vondrousova right out of the gate. But the Spaniard has drawn a big-hitting qualifier in Ella Seidel who was very impressive this past week in securing her main draw berth. This has serious upset potential if Seidel picks her spots.<br \/>\n<strong>Seidel in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yesh: Bouzas Maneiro has really come into her own this year. This will be a fun test against a solid but not exceptional player. I think the Spaniard can come through.<br \/>\nPrediction: <strong>Bouzas Maneiro in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manuel: It\u2019s a close matchup on paper, even considering Maneiro\u2019s far higher ranking. Seidel has played a lot on grass this season and showed a very good level to make it through qualifying here. That extra match play might just make the difference in her favour here. <strong>Seidel in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Maria Sakkari vs Anna Blinkova<\/h3>\n<p>Nurein: We might have seen flashes of the old Sakkari in Bad Homburg. There was grit and patience, and perhaps something she\u2019s been missing for a while, and that was her self-belief. I expect the Greek to take care of Blinkova, who loves to grind and won&#8217;t get that luxury on grass.<br \/>\n<strong>Sakkari in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yesh: Maria Sakkari is tough to figure out. Her game is still blistering at times, but those times are fewer and further between. It&#8217;s not age, but something has shaken her confidence and her game. Nothing like good hard-hitting rhythm on a grass court to try to get it back, though.<br \/>\nPrediction: <strong>Sakkari in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manuel: At her peak, Sakkari was clearly the better player but the situation is quite different now and this should be quite a close matchup decided by fine details. Still, Sakkari probably has the slight edge here. <strong>Sakkari in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Jaqueline Cristian vs Zeynep Sonmez<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2216500994\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/2216500994?et=YREh-9xKSGdHL95mxOkh5A&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=ncj6trTYudojZKrPMbVOoykLoL74Y04vcPEPS9nRfGE=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nurein: This is an open matchup, but I think Cristian has to be the favorite. Sonmez lacks the variety and power to survive the Romanian\u2019s barrage.<br \/>\n<strong>Cristian in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yesh: Neither of these players loves grass, and neither has any sort of decent form at the moment. Flip a coin, and maybe skip this match if there&#8217;s a better one on.<br \/>\nPrediction:<strong> Cristian in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manuel: Despite the difference in ranking, this should be quite a close matchup. Sonmez has played more on grass this season and that match play might well make the difference in her favour here. <strong>Sonmez in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Geoff Burke-<em>Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 2 at Wimbledon is a day filled with action as we have predictions for all of the matches including Mirra Andreeva&#8217;s tournament kick off against Mayar Sherif.
