Mattia Bellucci vs Oliver Crawford prediction
Mattia Bellucci lost his first three matches on grass at the Birmingham Classic, Libema Open and Queen’s Club. The Italian did find some form at Eastbourne as he won three matches including qualifying but he still fell to a disappointing loss to Great Britian’s Billy Harris in the round-of-16.
He faces enough Brit in the first-round here as he takes on Oliver Crawford. Crawford will make his main draw debut at a Grand Slam after receiving a wildcard. He lost in the first stage of qualifying at events in both Birmingham and Mallorca. However, sandwiched in between those early losses was a strong run from qualifying to the quarter-finals of a Challenger event in Ilkley. This included a straight sets victory over Houston Open champion and Eastbourne Open finalist Jenson Brooksby.
Bellucci isn’t completely in his element on grass but should still book his place in the second-round with a win against Crawford.
