THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Tim van Rijthoven is one of the stories of the season so far after his incredible breakthrough, title-winning campaign on home soil at ‘s-Hertogenbosch earlier this month and now a first Grand Slam victory, upsetting the 15th seed Reilly Opelka. Van Rijthoven looks so suddenly comfortable on grass it is remarkable to find that he had never won a tour-level match before ‘s-Hertogenbosch, where he shocked the likes of Taylor Fritz, Felix Auger-Aliassime and runner-up Daniil Medvedev to set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 104th. World number 26 Nikoloz Basilashvili has dropped sets in both round so far at Wimbledon but that is no great surprise for a player with a huge ceiling and very low floor. The Georgian’s forehand can be unplayable but his inconsistencies often let players in over the longer format and backing Van Rijthoven to win at least two sets here as the likelier of two capable victors seems the sensible call here.
