Talia Gibson vs Marie Bouzkova prediction
Marie Bouzkova will be buoyed by a first grass-court title heading into Wimbledon.
The Czech won her second tournament of the year in Nottingham and with 21 victories already under her belt, she is very much on course for the best season of her career.
The 27-year-old is now at a peak rank of 22 in the world and knows a strong run in SW19 could push her into the top 20 for the first time.
First up, it’s a second meeting with 22-year-old Talia Gibson, who is also having the best season of her fledgling career.
The Aussie reached the last eight in Nottingham but does not have much pedigree on the turf beyond that and did lose to Bouzkova in three sets in their previous encounter in Brisbane two years ago.
This could be more of a battle than some expect but it should still be Marie who comes out of it on the right side up.
