THE PREDICTION

World number 16 Denis Shapovalov overcame a predictably lengthy five-set marathon match against Arthur Rinderknech on Tuesday to snap a poor losing streak at six matches since his victory over Rafael Nadal at the Italian Open. Doing so at Wimbledon is significant for the enigmatic Canadian after he produced the best run of his career last season with a semi-final exit to Novak Djokovic and his stock has risen here at SW19. Sets looks likely to go both ways once again with 20-year-old Brandon Nakashima no stranger to a lengthy battle. The world number 56 beat qualifier Nicola Kuhn in four sets on Tuesday to maintain a good record on grass this summer, with victories over the likes of Tommy Paul and Sam Querrey putting him at a working level inside the top 40. A first meeting between the two will, as is often the case with matches involving the Canadian, depend almost totally on Shapovalov’s level. Back the 23-year-old to win at least two sets here and leave the winner up to chance.
