Taylor Fritz vs Dusan Lajovic prediction
Taylor Fritz has found form during the grass court season, producing a string of solid displays in the lead-up to Wimbledon. He reached a second successive final at the Stuttgart Open, though he was unable to retain his title after a defeat to Ben Shelton. He then reached the final in Halle, beating Shelton and world number three Alexander Zverev along the way, although he appeared to run out of steam against Frances Tiafoe as he lost in straight sets. He opted not to compete in Eastbourne, a tournament that he has won on four previous occasions.
The American was drawn to face Jack Draper in round one, but the Brit had to withdraw due to injury. He will now face Dusan Lajovic, who enters the draw as a lucky loser. The Serb is ranked outside the top 140 in the world, and he lost his final qualifying match to Vilius Gaubas in five sets. He has never advanced beyond the second-round since making his first appearance in the main draw 12 years ago.
Fritz will be expected to come through this comfortably.
