THE PREDICTION
World number 14 Borna Coric brings a three-match losing streak into Wimbledon and relatively average form overall this season despite some brief flashes of brilliance. The 26-year-old is coming up to the defence of his first Masters title claimed in Cincinnati last August that catapulted him back to the top 20 from a year-long absence on tour and he played like it on clay last month with runs to the semi-finals in Madrid and quarter-finals in Rome. Coric has struggled at Wimbledon over the years despite winning Halle in 2018 and this is no gimme against former world number 20 Guido Pella, who reached the quarter-finals here in 2019 before an unfortunate lengthy injury of his own. The 33-year-old has yet to win back-to-back matches on tour since his return at the start of the season but he is well capable of causing an upset here before fatigue sets in and the pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record that looks tight on paper. The shrewd move could be taking Pella to earn at least a set given Coric’s recent form whilst the sensible one is taking the same option in favour of the Croat.
