THE PREDICTION

World number 16 Marin Cilic found some incredible form this summer, with a run to the semi-finals at Roland-Garros in his weakest surface suggesting he could do something special at Wimbledon on his best. However, the Croat was cruelly denied another shot at a final in SW19 as he contracted covid-19 on the eve of the tournament, like fellow pre-tournament candidate Matteo Berrettini, and this will be his first match back since. This looks a coupon-buster a few ways around with 33-year-old Cilic leading his compatriot, Borna Coric, 7-0 in their head-to-head record – the last of which came here in a three-set victory back in 2018. Former world number 12 Borna Coric is still recovering from missing a year on tour following surgery and after some strong progress last month he was forced to retire from the Hamburg Open quarter-finals through injury. Between a player who may be suffering as of yet unknown side effects from covid-19 and current world number 157 Coric coming off an injury this match would be best left well away from an accumulator with a fair risk of defaulting. Cilic should be taking this occasion in a fairly comfortable manner but it may be wisest leaving this one to chance.
