Joel Drucker
- Fernandez def. [5] Garcia, second round
It’s time for Leylah to rediscover the form that took her to the US Open final two summers ago. An opportunity could come in the second round. Suitable as Garcia’s style appears for grass, her career record at Wimbledon is only 10-9.
Matt Fitzgerald
- Hanfmann def. [9] Fritz, first round
The grass swing hasn’t lived up to Fritz’s standard of consistency, while Hanfmann is having a breakout season—one that includes a decisive victory over the American in Rome.
David Kane
- Mannarino def. [2] Medvedev, second round
Medvedev has arguably been the best tour-level player in 2023, but has woefully underperformed at the Slams. With French nemesis Mannarino looming in the second round, expect that trend to continue.
Jon Levey
- Broady def. [4] Ruud, second round
Broady, a hometown favorite, has made a career out of Wimbledon wild cards. Ruud thinks grass is best served on a golf course. He’ll have his driver back in his hands by the middle of the first week.
Stephanie Livaudais
- Thiem or Murray def. [5] Tsitsipas, first or second round
The draw gods have pitted Tsitsipas, who has never made the second week at Wimbledon, against Thiem, with the winner potentially facing a resurgent Murray. The two-time champ barely missed the seeding cutoff, and either player could make a major statement by picking off an out-of-sorts Stef.
Ed McGrogan
- Thiem or Murray def. [5] Tsitsipas, second round
Good call, Steph. Stef will bite the dust against the crowd favorite in a raucous atmosphere.
Steve Tignor
- Katerina Siniakova d. [24] Qinwen Zheng, first round
Siniakova is in the semifinals in Berlin, and Zheng has lost early at both majors this season.
