Arthur Rinderknech vs Oliver Tarvet prediction
Arthur Rinderknech produced his best ever run at Wimbledon last year, as he defeated Alexander Zverev in his opening match and advanced to the third-round overall. The Frenchman’s results have not been particularly inspiring this season, and he lost in the first-round of Queen’s Club after a straight sets defeat to Hamad Medjedovic. Overall, he has 15 losses from 26 matches in 2026.
He will play Oliver Tarvet, after the Brit secured a place in the Wimbledon main draw for the second successive year through qualifying. Tarvet comfortably got past Leandro Riedi in round one last year, before a straight sets defeat to Carlos Alcaraz on Centre Court.
Rinderknech should have enough firepower to progress, but his inconsistent form and Tarvet’s confidence on home grass makes this feel more competitive than the rankings suggest. Tarvet has already demonstrated that he can thrive on this surface and should have enough confidence and home support to make this a compelling match.
