Predicting these matches are Jordan Reynolds, Nurein Ahmed, and Manan Mehta. Who do you think will advance?<\/p>\n

Wimbledon Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Eva Lys vs Linda Noskova<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nNoskova starts as the favorite here. I think Lys\u2019 style would be decent for disrupting the Czech\u2019s big-hitting game on clay and slow hard courts. Beating Noskova on grass is a tougher challenge.
\nPrediction: Noskova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Nurein:<\/em>
\nCould Lys replicate what she did at the Australian Open<\/a>? It\u2019s doubtful, but she\u2019s coming off a very precious opening win against Yuan Yue. Noskova is in form and was unfortunate to miss out on bagging a title this swing. The Czech should be the favorite to progress here.
\nPrediction: Noskova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Manan:<\/em>
\nBoth Lys and Noskova have shown little consistency this year with regular early round exits. However, between the two Noskova has looked more of a threat this year.
\nPrediction: Noskova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Diana Shnaider vs Diane Parry<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nParry got a morale-boosting win after a tough few months against Petra Martic in the opening round. However, the Frenchwoman needs to play much better than that match to beat Shnaider. Parry\u2019s one-handed backhand is especially vulnerable in this matchup.
\nPrediction: Shnaider in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Nurein:<\/em>
\nI caught bits of Parry\u2019s comeback win over Petra Martic, and it\u2019s that backhand slice that normally sparks panic in opponents. But Shnaider has so much attacking firepower to end points quickly.
\nPrediction: Shnaider in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Manan:<\/em>
\nShnaider has inconsistently made it to the latter stages of a few events this year. Parry, on the other hand, has hardly been to get out of qualifying to make it to the main draws.
\nPrediction: Shnaider in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
