ALEX BOLT VS CASPER RUUD PREDICTION
Norwegian star Casper Ruud comes into Wimbledon this year hoping to perform better than ever on the hallowed turf after disappointing in previous years. The 25-year-old has never gone past the second round in the singles tournament but he did reach the quarters in the doubles in 2021. He will take heart from the fact he reached the semi-finals of the French but he has to improve on grass if he is to go deep in the tournament this time around.
He meets Alex Bolt who is on the Challenger Tour and the 31-year-old Australian will be eager to acquit himself well after coming through qualifying. This assignment is incredibly tough and while there are question marks over Ruud on grass, Bolt is unlikely to have enough in his locker to expose him here.
