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

Roberto Carballes Baena vs Alex de Minaur<\/h4>\n

Ilemona<\/strong>
\nDe Minaur will try to take time away, while RCB will look to slow things down and rally. Grass favors the Aussie\u2019s quick feet and flat hitting. If the points stay short, he\u2019ll likely stay in control.
\nPrediction: de Minaur in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian<\/strong>
\nDe Minaur\u2019s typically extremely solid and while he lost that streak of quarterfinals at Slams, he\u2019s going to beat the players he\u2019s supposed to. Carballes Baena maybe could make things slightly more interesting if not for the fact he\u2019s been out since Rome and his fitness is under a huge question mark. Should be lop-sided.
\nPrediction: de Minaur in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Shane<\/strong>
\nDe Minaur is a dark horse to make a deep run in this event. Carballes Baena does not have much match fitness. The Aussie rolls.
\nPrediction: de Minaur in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Chun-Hsin Tseng vs Aleksandar Vukic<\/h4>\n

Ilemona<\/strong>
\nVukic\u2019s big serve makes him a threat on grass, while Tseng will try to make it about the rallies. The surface should help the Aussie more, especially if he can find early rhythm. Could be decided in a couple of tight sets.
\nPrediction: Vukic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s not like Vukic has been in any amazing form, but at least getting through the qualifying in Queen\u2019s Club and Eastbourne should give him some momentum. He\u2019s a better grass-court player than Tseng and it\u2019s on his to-do list now to show it. This might not be where the Taiwanese grabs his maiden Grand Slam main draw win.
\nPrediction: Vukic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Shane<\/strong>
\nThis is Vukic’s best surface. He also has more Slam experience than Tseng. The Aussie rolls.
\nPrediction: Vukic in 4<\/em><\/p>\n
