THE PREDICTION

World number 24 Grigor Dimitrov conceded just four games in a total mis-match against qualifier Sho Shimabukuro on Wednesday, either side of a disruption by Just Stop Oil protesters. The former world number three reached the semi-finals here in 2014 in one of three last four appearances at Grand Slams over the years but he has failed to win a title since his most prestigious of eight claimed at the ATP Finals in 2017. World number 102 Ilya Ivashka has endured a poor season so far but he looked to play himself into a better level in the first round, coming back from a set down to clay specialist Federico Coria to close out with a fourth-set bagel. The Belarussian set his best Grand Slam run with a round of 16 exit here in 2021 and he is well capable of the upset here with a 2-1 lead over Dimitrov, who peaks and troughs more than most, in their head-to-head. 32-year-old Dimitrov brings better form into Wimbledon than he has for many seasons but it is always difficult to confidently back the Bulgarian. Take Dimitrov to earn at least two sets as the likelier of two capable winners or risk the outright call outside of an accumulator.
