Adrian Mannarino vs Valentin Royer prediction
Adrian Mannarino breezed through his first-round match at Wimbledon, defeating Christopher O’Connell 6-2 6-4 6-3. The Frenchman has made round four at the All England Club on three previous occasions and will fancy his chances at another deep run here, despite his lowly ranking and only advancing to the main draw as a qualifier. Mannarino now has nine victories on grass this season including qualifying matches.
He goes up against fellow countryman and another qualifier in Valentin Royer next. Royer won on his Wimbledon debut after former world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas retired during their first-round match. Royer was leading 6-2 6-3. Though the Greek was clearly struggling with his ongoing back problem, it was a strong performance from Royer up to that point, as he won nearly 80% of his first serve points.
Mannarino has always excelled on the grass throughout his career and is likely to prove too much for the inexperienced Royer in round two. The 37-year-old is good value to pick up a fifth victory in succession.
