THE PREDICTION
World number three Elena Rybakina dropped the first set of her Wimbledon title defence to an initially strong Shelby Rogers but then grew into the game to look the assured winner by the end. The 24-year-old was a surprise champion here last summer, coming back from a set down to stun Ons Jabeur, but she has since proved herself very much part of the top three on tour with wins at Indian Wells and the Rome Masters as well as finishing runner-up to Aryna Sabalenka at the Australian Open in January. World number 74 Alize Cornet will leave nothing on the court in what looks set to be the last match of her long career. The 33-year-old former world number 11 made headlines last summer by snapping Iga Swiatek’s 37-match winning streak in the third round and she is always at her best against the best. Rybakina leads Cornet 2-0 in their head-to-head record but the Kazakh has struggled with illness in recent weeks to throw a little doubt over her peak ability at this moment in time. That makes taking Rybakina to win outright the suitably cautious pick here in what could end up a thriller, an upset or a straight-sets romp by the defending champion.
