Serbia

Novak Djokovic

South Korea

Soon Woo Kwon

The Serb will not drag out the match and will pick up a quick win at the start of the tournament

Djokovic did not play a single official match on grass before Wimbledon. There was only one match at an exhibition tournament in Harlingham. Then Djokovic faced Felix Auger-Allassim and the Serb crushed him 6-2, 6-1. It should not be forgotten that Djokovic is the reigning Wimbledon winner. He defeated Italy's Matteo Berrettini (6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3) in the final in 2021. Kwon has played only two matches on grass this season and both of them ended against him. The Korean lost to Christopher O'Connell (4-6, 6-4, 6-3) in the first round of the Challenger at Serbiton. He then lost to Hugo Gaston (2-6, 1-6) at the start of his event in 's-Hertogenbosch. Last season Sung-Woo was knocked out in the second round of Wimbledon where he lost in five sets to Germany's Dominik Kepfer (3-6, 7-6, 6-7, 7-5, 3-6). Kwon has not been playing well of late. Both matches were lost on grass. The Korean is unlikely to put up much of a fight against the Belgrade native. Djokovic will succeed. Sung-woo is not a tennis player who can stop Novak. Kwon will not go any further. The bookies don't consider the Serb an unqualified favourite for nothing. The spectators in the stands will not be bored. It will be an exciting encounter, the outcome of which is easy to predict. Djokovic is a stronger player and should have no problem winning. There will be no sensation. Expert quotes are absolutely fair. The Belgrade native will win a confident victory in three sets. Novak needs to save his strength. There are many important meetings ahead, so he needs to be fresh. There is no point in prolonging the confrontation. Djokovic's fans have no doubts about a quick victory for their idol. It's worth betting that no more than 27.5 games will be played in this match.
