HOLGER RUNE VS SOONWOO KWON PREDICTION

It’s hard enough for Soonwoo Kwon that he’s not played any tennis on grass this year heading into Wimbledon, but his first game being at Wimbledon vs a player of Holger Rune’s quality adds another layer of difficulty. Rune would be the first to admit that he hasn’t quite fulfilled his potential yet when it comes to grass court tennis, but the 21-year-old has all the skills to reach the latter stages of tournaments like Wimbledon every year as his career progresses.

Consistency is an issue for Rune and Kwon would hope that this would be something he can capitalise on with a good start to this contest. However, the Dane should be laser-focused at an event which holds good memories for him after last year and the expectation is that Rune will triumph in three.
