THE PREDICTION

World number 67 Camila Giorgi reached the semi-finals of the Eastbourne International for a third-successive season this week but she lost once again to eventual runner-up Daria Kasatkina. The 31-year-old’s peak level on grass is a match for anyone here at SW19 but that sort of form is a rare thing indeed. Giorgi has won just once at Wimbledon since reaching the quarter-finals here in 2019 and world number 43 Varvara Gracheva is a tough draw who leads 1-0 in their head-to-head after outing the Italian out of the second round at Roland-Garros in three sets two years ago. 22-year-old Gracheva is enjoying the best season of her career so far after making back-to-back round of 16s at the Sunshine Double in March but she has struggled to find that intensity since the start of the clay swing. Leave this tough call out of an accumulator but back Giorgi to edge through as the much better grass-courter of the two.
