THE PREDICTION

2014 winner Marin Cilic makes his bow at this year’s event and he will be motivated to do well at the Grand Slam where he has fared best in his career with one title, one runner-up and three quarter-final appearances. The big-serving Croatian will be desperate to bounce back after a disappointing 6-3, 6-3 loss to Denis Sharapalov last week but he will be confident of overpowering Denis Kudla. He has beaten Kudla in their only previous meeting back at Wimbledon in 2015 and he should have too much quality for Kudla even if there is a degree of rust remaining in his play that may see him drop one set.
