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

Quentin Halys vs August Holmgren<\/h4>\n

Damian<\/strong>
\nHolmgren had one of the most insane qualifying campaigns, coming back from a set and a break down in two matches before saving three match points to beat Watanuki. But this is surely the end of the road. The quality in these battles in Roehampton wasn\u2019t great and Halys is just way too strong on grass.
\nPrediction: Halys in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilemona<\/strong>
\nBoth are comfortable on faster courts, so this could be a serving shootout. Halys has a bit more experience, but Holmgren\u2019s got the game to keep things close. One or two tiebreaks wouldn\u2019t be a shock.
\nPrediction: Halys in 5<\/em><\/p>\n

Shane<\/strong>
\nHalys is comfortable approaching the net and should do a lot of it on Tuesday. Holmgren also likes the grass, as shown by his performance in qualifying. Is he already worn down? Who’s to say, but I like Halys in this matchup.
\nPrediction: Halys in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Denis Shapovalov vs Mariano Navone<\/h4>\n

Damian<\/strong>
\nNavone and grass isn\u2019t really a love affair, but the Argentinian recently saved match points to beat Ofner in Mallorca qualifying. Basavareddy outplayed him so easily a round later and it\u2019s tough to see something else happening here. Yes, Shapovalov tends to be up and down. But he\u2019ll have the space for a lot of messing around here.
\nPrediction: Shapovalov in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilemona<\/strong>
\nShapovalov\u2019s always unpredictable, which gives Navone a bit of hope. The Argentine prefers clay, but if Shapo\u2019s off rhythm, anything can happen. Still, the Canadian\u2019s firepower is hard to handle on grass.
\nPrediction: Shapovalov in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Shane<\/strong>
\nShapovalov is starting to find his form, which is great timing because he has had previous success at these Championships. Navone is a solid clay-courter, but has not shown much on this surface. The Canadian should hit his way into Round 2.
\nPrediction: Shapovalov in 4<\/em><\/p>\n
