THE PREDICTION
World number two Novak Djokovic will play his first competitive match of tennis since lifting a record-breaking 23rd Men’s Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros earlier this month. The 36-year-old went out in front of Rafael Nadal’s total of 22 major titles to set what now looks to be an insurmountable lead and he has plenty left to target on tour as he aims to be the first man to complete a calendar slam in the Open Era. Djokovic has won each of the last four Wimbledon Championships and he can draw level with Roger Federer’s record here if he goes on, as the clear favourite, to lift his eighth trophy in two weeks’ time.
World number 67 Pedro Cachin fought his way from obscurity on the Challenger circuit to full tour life this time last season on his favoured clay but the Argentine is yet to win a tour-level match on grass. The 28-year-old has drawn by far the shortest straw in the draw here at Wimbledon but Djokovic has often dropped the first set of a new Grand Slam campaign, particularly these days as he increasingly enters majors with fewer matches in his legs. On this occasion, Djokovic should still be able to come through in straight sets.
