THE PREDICTION

World number 51 Alex Molcan has reached two ATP tour finals this season, making it three overall, after finishing runner-up to David Goffin at the Marrakech Open and Cam Norrie at the Lyon Open. His exploits this season have seen Novak Djokovic’s ex-coach Marian Vajda come on board, suggesting there is some serious potential in the Slovak, and victory iver Miomir Kecmanovic at the Mallorca Open last week on grass is a pretty handy result to take into his Wimbledon debut. Since making his Grand Slam debut at last season’s US Open Molcan has yet to lose a first round match at a major but a first meeting with world number 50 Pedro Martinez should test that. The Spaniard broke the top 40 earlier this season after winning a first ATP title at the Chile Open and he put in some strong performances at the Eastbourne International last week. Both players favour clay but Molcan’s results at Grand Slams so far suggests he can edge this. Back the Slovak to win at least two sets in a match that could go the distance.
