THE PREDICTION
World number 11 Matteo Berrettini missed two months of tennis this spring through injury but the Italian is yet to lose a match on his return. The 26-year-old won the Stuttgart Open for a second time via a three-set victory over Andy Murray two weeks ago before successfully defending his Queen’s title with another hugely impressive campaign. With a nine-match winning streak behind him, Berrettini looks well capable of emulating his run to a first Grand Slam final after finishing runner-up to Novak Djokovic here last season and he looks to be the top seed’s biggest threat this time around, especially with the likes of Daniil Medvedev and Roger Federer not present.
World number 44 Cristian Garin would have a fair shout as the favourite in this match-up on his favoured clay, on which he beat Berrettini in their first meeting to win the 2019 Munich Open, but Berrettini has since won both of their matches to go 2-1 up and he is unquestionably the favourite on grass. Berrettini can sometimes be caught out over five sets, with four of his seven matches seeing four sets last season, so take the Italian to win outright here for a cautious opener.
