But who will advance to the second round?<\/p>\n<h2>Wimbledon Day 2 Men&#8217;s Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Francisco Comesana vs Corentin Moutet<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Ilemona<\/strong><br \/>\nThis has the makings of a scrappy affair. Moutet\u2019s craft could frustrate Comesana, especially on a surface where patience pays off. Expect some twists, but the Frenchman\u2019s flair should prove decisive.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Moutet in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Damian<\/strong><br \/>\nThis should be fun with Moutet coming off a big result in Mallorca and Comesana defeating Rublev last Wimbledon. The Argentinian has an underrated serve and can lead a player into making too many errors with his slices, but somebody like Moutet should be less vulnerable to it on paper. Comesana also got very tense at the Slam he played.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Moutet in 4<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shane<\/strong><br \/>\nComing off a run to the Mallorca final, Moutet is playing great grass-court tennis and comes to the Wimbledon Championships with a lot of confidence. Comesana does not have much experience on the grass and will struggle with the Frenchman&#8217;s trickery.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Moutet in 4<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Flavio Cobolli vs Beibit Zhukayev<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Ilemona<\/strong><br \/>\nCobolli\u2019s more familiar with the big stage, but Zhukayev\u2019s aggressive game could surprise him if he finds rhythm early. Grass rewards first-strike tennis, and that gives both players a real shot if they start well.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Cobolli in 5<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Damian<\/strong><br \/>\nZhukayev\u2019s tennis is pretty one-dimensional, but you can\u2019t deny the power of his serve and the flat groundstrokes can be a bother on this surface as well. It\u2019s not enough to make him the favorite against someone as all-rounded as Cobolli, however it might be enough for him to keep this more interesting than it should be on paper.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Cobolli in 4<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shane<\/strong><br \/>\nZhukayev&#8217;s power could cause issues fir Cobolli. In fact, I think it will push him to the brink. But in the fifth set, I will trust Cobolli, who has competed in more high-leverage moments.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Cobolli in 5<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"RKK7gRGBRQZVgODK1F_OwQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2221207880\" target=\"_blank\" 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:'RKK7gRGBRQZVgODK1F_OwQ',sig:'zf6ltQA-1cwVReJCsyqriGxsbv5aqUJENGOBQKaIkDI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2221207880',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Marcos Giron vs Camilo Ugo Carabelli<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Ilemona<\/strong><br \/>\nGiron\u2019s grass-court movement could make the difference here. Ugo Carabelli prefers longer rallies and slower courts, which don\u2019t come easy at Wimbledon. If the Argentine can\u2019t adjust quickly, this could get away from him.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Giron in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Damian<\/strong><br \/>\nUgo Carabelli never cared for grass much, but now that he\u2019s at a higher ranking it\u2019s opened up some doors for him. It\u2019s just that his game doesn\u2019t suit the courts whatsoever and most players in the draw probably wanted to draw him in the first round. Giron should be able to take advantage of this opportunity without much trouble.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Giron in 4<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shane<\/strong><br \/>\nI like Giron&#8217;s game on the grass. He has solid groundstrokes off both wings and does not mind coming into the net. Ugo Carabelli has played solid tennis of late, but the grass is not his preferred surface.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Giron in 4<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Jannik Sinner vs Luca Nardi<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Ilemona<\/strong><br \/>\nBoth have had strong moments this year, but it\u2019s a big stage and a big ask for Nardi. His lefty angles could keep things interesting for a while, though. This one might be more about how long he can hang in, rather than how far he can push.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Sinner in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Damian<\/strong><br \/>\nSure, Sinner lost to Bublik in Halle. That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not one of the main favorites for this title and opinions like \u201che\u2019s not good on grass\u201d are exactly as naive as they were regarding clay before the French Open. Nardi shouldn\u2019t be able to do much here, the gap in quality between the two Italians is somewhat extreme.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Sinner in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shane<\/strong><br \/>\nI like Nardi&#8217;s game, and his lefty firepower could have caused some upsets on the Wimbledon grounds. However, he has been given arguably the worst draw in the tournament. Sinner will roll.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Sinner in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main Photo Credit: Peter van den Berg &#8211; USA TODAY Sports<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 2 at the Wimbledon Championships marks the start of the second half of the draw, as players begin their main draw campaigns.
