Jaume Munar
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
Munar (ranked 55) showed in R1 that he never gives up when defeating in-form Bublik in the extreme heat. Munar has improved massively in 2025 away from clay - this season on hard, indoor hard, and grass he’s got a 59% win rate and a service/return points won total of 103, three points better than Marozsan (ranked 58). On grass alone, Munar’s stats are much better than those of Marozsan, whose form so far in his career on grass has largely been poor. In their last 10 main level matches each on the green stuff, Marozsan has a 30% win rate and a service/return points won total of just 94, Munar is on a 40% win rate and a total of 98. And in those stats, Marozsan’s return points won total is only 31.3%. We know that there’s a player in there somewhere with Marozsan, but he’s very inconsistent and far too often allows matches to drift away from him - the complete opposite of Munar, who fights for everything even when he’s being overwhelmed, as was the case at times against Bublik. This should be a real battle and I’m happy to bet on Munar.

Frankly, I'm amazed that Bronzetti (ranked 63) has made it to R2 at SW19, as the 26-year-old Italian has a terrible record on grass, largely because her game is totally unsuited to the surface. I saw Eala beat her 6-0, 6-1 at Eastbourne recently, with Bronzetti looking totally bereft of ideas. She was lucky to face Teichmann in R1, who's had several injury issues, and that was just her second win in her last 9 grass matches. Andreeva (ranked 7) is the new star-in-waiting, the 18-year-old Russian having won the title at Indian Wells in March and several big scalps under her belt. She's 21-3 vs. players ranked 50+ in the past 12 months, with 16 of those in straight sets.

Thompson (ranked 44) was lucky not to lose in R1, having been 0-2 down, but Kopriva let the injured Aussie veteran off the hook. "Thommo" was typically honest afterwards: "I felt pretty ****, to be honest... I haven’t practiced. I’ve been injured. I haven’t played many tournaments. I haven’t played at 100% this year." With that in mind, it seems a tall order for Thompson to beat Bonzi (ranked 64), who was a deserved winner over world #9 Medvedev on Monday. If the 29-year-old Frenchman plays anywhere near the level he showed in R1 (he served superbly up at around 135 mph), he should win this one. It’s always a gamble whether Bonzi recreates that level, but if so, he should beat the struggling Thompson with something to spare. Thommo has so far this season had plantar fascia issues, a groin tear, an oblique strain, another abdominal issue, a herniated disk in his back, and now a sacroiliac problem, so Bonzi should be looking to take advantage.

Bellucci (ranked 73) is 15-12 on grass in his career but just 3-5 vs. top 100 opponents, and I can't make much of a case for the 24-year-old Italian here.

Jarry (ranked 143) - who had to come through Qualies here - was a fortunate winner over an injured Rune on Monday, the big Chilean escaping from 0-2 down against the ailing Dane (knee injury and probably struggled in the heat). Rune said afterwards: “Normally I'd have beaten him 9 times out of 10, with all due respect to Nicolas.” Jarry beat Tien (ranked 62) in Halle recently, but it’s much quicker there and was only the 19-year-old American's third career match on grass. He’s now played a fair few singles and doubles matches on the surface. Jarry played an almost perfect match that day in Halle. Tien hit 8 double faults in 2 sets and still won 60% on second serve in a match that featured only 2 break points. Since then, Tien beat big-serving Ben Shelton and Justin Engel on the grass, and he’s playing more aggressively and serving bigger than before. His leftie game will cause Jarry issues on return, and his Wimbledon record isn’t great either: 4-5. Tien will have learned a lot from their first grass meeting, and I’m happy to take a chance on him here.

It's never an easy bet on Burrage (ranked 154), but the 26-year-old Brit is much more experienced on grass than her opponent here, McNally (ranked 208). Since 2021, the 23-year-old American is 14-10 on turf, but 10 of those matches were in qualifiers, and she's played just 4 matches on turf since 2023. Burrage, since 2023, is just 9-10, but all but 3 of those matches were main draw ones, and 5 of her last 7 defeats were to top 50 opponents. She really should have beaten reigning Wimbledon champ Krejcikova at Eastbourne last week but lost in a decider. She also took eventual finalist Anisimova to a decider at Queens earlier this month. These two also met here in R1 in 2023, and Burrage won 2-0.

Taking a risk here as Joint (ranked 41) is coming off the biggest win in her career, having taken the title at Eastbourne on Saturday. So I'm hoping there's no let-down here. Hopefully, the 19-year-old Aussie is full of confidence. Although Samsonova (ranked 19) has more experience and you'd think a game suited to grass, the 26-year-old Russian has often flattered to deceive on turf, and she's just 7-4 here at SW19 in her career. Small risk.

@2.00

-50
Because of injury issues Eubanks (ranked 130) has seen main level appearances restricted. But the 29yo American made QFs on clay in Houston in his last tournament, great for a player whose game is all about serve and first strike tennis. That is very effective on grass and if fit could well be overwhelming on a slick, R1 grass court at SW19 for De Jong (ranked 106). The diminutive 25yo Dutchman is a claycourter who likes to construct points. Eubanks has beaten him in both career clashes and has liked the relatively weak De Jong serve, winning a huge (for him) 39% of return points and leading the service/return points won totals by 104 to 96. Those meetings were a few years ago, but Eubanks will remember them, likewise his run to the last 8 here two years ago. He's played at the Hurlingham Club this week and looks in form, beating Tiafoe and losing in 2 TBs to world #14 Rublev. He said: “Since getting here in London and practising, I feel my game is as good as it's been all year. So I'm excited to get going on the grass". Let's hope so!

Since 2024, Heather Watson (ranked 143) is just 8-13 vs. top 100 opposition, 3-5 vs. top 50 players, and the majority of the wins have been on faster surfaces vs. players one would describe as "clay courters" (such as in Queen's qualies vs. Sonmez and Eastbourne qualies vs. Bouzas Maneiro). Tauson (ranked 22) has a patchy record on grass, but the tall 22-year-old Dane really should be doing well on it with her big serve and solid groundstrokes. She is just 7-4 vs. players ranked 100+ in the last 12 months, but 3 of her losses were to Andreescu, Kenin (both former Slam champs!), and former top 50 player Ajla Tomljanovic (who's been out injured) in the Hong Kong final. "Hev" folded pretty tamely in qualies at Eastbourne vs. #80 ranked Rakhimova LTO, and I fear this is near the end of the road for the veteran Brit.

Progress at Wimbledon is not really something that 34-year-old Romanian Begu (ranked 134) is too bothered about. The veteran focuses on clay most of the season. Last season, 39 of her 44 matches were on the dirt. She has not played a single grass court match this term before today. Whilst Juvan (ranked 240) is also more focused on clay courts, the 24-year-old Slovenian has won 3 matches here in Qualies and is 9-3 on grass since Wimbledon 2022. This is after missing the whole of 2024 when sidelined for 12 months, only returning to action in January (hence her low ranking). I'd expect her to be the more acclimatized and motivated of the two here.

It's a brave man to bet on Basilashvili (ranked 126), but the mercurial 33-year-old Georgian has come through Qualies here at Wimbledon, and he'll be looking for a decent pay cheque. He beat world #7 Musetti in their only prior meeting on grass, in 2022, in straight sets. The 23-year-old Italian has a lot of points to defend as he made the semifinals here last year, but I'm sure he can’t be fit having not played since retiring with a leg injury at the French Open. In fact, he’s withdrawn from all of his planned grass events this summer, including an exhibition match at the Hurlingham Club, so it’s hard to see how he can be fit for 5 sets at Wimbledon. Big-hitting Basil is more at home on clay but is a former Halle semifinalist on grass and has made the last 32 at Wimbledon a couple of times.

By contrast, Minnen (ranked 70) has a decent record on turf.

Ordinarily, I'd be backing Thompson (ranked 44) here, on his favored grass, but the 31-year-old Aussie is most likely not fully fit. The veteran is highly effective on grass and classes, but he’s barely been fit all year and wasn’t competitive in either the Australian Open or the French, having decided to play. I’m sure that he’ll want to step out on what he calls the “hallowed turf” of Wimbledon, but he’s only completed 13 matches all season and retired at Queen’s Club with a back issue and hasn’t been seen since. That’s after various other injuries that have decimated his season, and I feel he’s turning up here hopeful, rather than confident, his body can cope. Kopriva (ranked 78) is more of a clay man, but he beat Gasquet in Wimbledon qualifiers last year and only lost in a final set tiebreak to Quinn in Majorca last week, so he can play on the green stuff. Kopriva is a grinder, and I wonder if Thommo’s body can last the distance?

Not sure about the overall form of this Classic generation, but Aiden O'Brien's Australia colt ran his rivals ragged in the UK Derby at Epsom, winning by 4 lengths last time out. He's been steadily progressive, and this is the top course jockey/trainer combination, with the yard having won the last two runnings of this race. This 12f distance almost certainly suits him better than 10f and should prove tough to peg back once again at a stiffer track.

Joseph O'Brien's Wootton Bassett colt finished a couple of places behind today's re-opposing favourite last time out in the UK version at Epsom, but was given too much to do in a race dominated from the front.

There's a big talent disparity separating these two teams. The Bombers made the Grey Cup Final last season, and the Elks... well, they finished with another losing season. Yes, Winnipeg is playing on shorter rest, but this is just the third game of the season. The Blue Bombers play Calgary next, so it's not a big 'look ahead' game. They'll be without Brady Olivera, perhaps the best RB in the CFL, but he was out last week, and backup Peterson filled in nicely with little drop-off. Their #1 QB Zach Collaros is back this week after a game suspension, so we should see the offense ticking. Winnipeg's defense has only allowed 17 PPG, and much of that was garbage time last week. Edmonton has allowed 34.5 PPG, and tonight they're without their starting center. The Elks' D has only one sack in two games. Winnipeg is on a mission this year to get back to the Grey Cup.

Brooksby (ranked 149) has just 19 career matches on turf, and the 24-year-old American has had most success on grass in Newport, USA, where conditions are typically much faster (and suit his big serve/groundstrokes much better) than here in Eastbourne.

They also each won about 30% of first serve return points. That would suggest we're in for a service-dominated affair, and given we've also seen FAA (ranked 27) play a lot of tight/deciding set matches in his career, and we know Medjedovic (ranked 73) plays an "all or nothing" brand of tennis (which is high-variance), I'll go Overs here.

He made the semifinals here in Eastbourne last year (one set from the final, in fact), so his grass credentials are solid. He's got a big serve which is very effective on turf and has saved 17 of 20 break points faced in his 4 matches here so far (he lost in the qualifiers, but got back in as a Lucky Loser). And he's now beaten 2 lefties in the past 2 matches here - and world #20 Humbert is also a southpaw, so Harris should be used to the type of play. Humbert got a good win here vs. Sonego on Wednesday in which he didn't face a single break point. The 26-year-old Frenchman is not the most consistent on grass and has never played Harris before, so I like the Overs here.

All 3 of his career matches with Dan Evans (ranked 170) have gone to a decider. "Evo" got a wildcard to this event and you can be sure he's going to give it a go here, as he showed in Round 1 when he dug in after a poor start/set 1 loss to beat Kecmanovic in a decider. It's not going to be that warm by the seaside on Wednesday, so that negates some of Paul's game (big serve, groundstrokes) and the Centre Court crowd will be right behind Evans.

It’s always a risk with the unpredictable Moutet (ranked 83), but yesterday in Majorca, the 26-year-old Frenchman showed more determination than in days gone by. He battled hard to win a really long service game in the full early afternoon heat to avoid going a set and break down. Thereon in, he dominated Martinez and now faces another opponent who much prefers high-bouncing clay to grass. Altmaier (ranked 59) was fortunate to beat the fading Fognini in R1, and the 28-year-old German has just a 38% win rate and service/return points won total of 95 on grass. He's won just 3 of his 14 grass matches versus top-100 opponents, all of whom were 'clay courters' (Baez, Lajovic, and Estrella in a final set TB in 2017). This career series is a bad one for Altmaier, with Moutet winning all 4 of their completed matches on clay and hard, his wicked slices causing big problems for Altmaier, who likes rhythm and isn’t comfortable being drawn into the net.

He's 16-8 in his career vs. players ranked outside the top 100. His opponent, Zhukayev (ranked 251), has limited grass court experience at this level. The 24-year-old Kazakh is just 9-8 on the green stuff his whole career, and just 2-5 vs. those in the top 150.

Bolt (ranked 181) really should be winning this one as the 32-year-old Aussie has a lot more experience on grass than does Spizzirri (ranked 124). The 23-year-old American is just 2-6 on the green stuff his entire career. Bolt is 13-5 on grass in the past 12 months.

Sonego (ranked 48) is probably (unfairly) typecast as a "clay courter," but the 30-year-old Italian actually made the final here in Eastbourne in 2021, and he got a good straight-sets win in R1 over #58 Marozsan. And I'm not convinced by Humbert (ranked 20), either physically (he's had several issues lately) or on grass, on which the 26-year-old Frenchman is 10-10 in his career vs. top 50 opposition. Now, Sonego is 6-11 with the same parameters, but has played the likes of Federer, Nadal, Berrettini, and Sinner. This could be close, so I'll take a small head start.

The strong winds (and it is blustery, I was in Eastbourne yesterday!) are likely to make this a clash of who "wants it" more, and that will surely be 23-year-old Brit, Fearnley (ranked 51), who loves playing on the grass. He made the QFs at Queen’s Club last week, beaten only by a very good Lehecka, who made the final. "Jakey" will be motivated playing at home, while Cobolli (ranked 24) has often stated his dislike for grass, which doesn’t suit his play style. Although the 23-year-old Italian has a half-decent record on turf (5-7), he's at his best in very slow conditions (Hamburg and Bucharest titles on very slow clay) where a fairly weak serve is compensated for by his strong return game. It’s not so easy to recover a break deficit on grass, and Fearnley has a stronger serve and a more aggressive game that suits turf. The Scot has won 12 of his 19 career matches on grass at all levels, and Fearnley has slightly better stats at the main level on grass. This is due on Centre Court, so the crowd will be behind the Brit.

Not great odds, but Marino (ranked 114) has so much experience on grass. The 34-year-old Canadian also showed how it suits her big-hitting game by making the final of the Ilkley event recently, only losing to 'rising star' American Jovic. Since her return to tennis in 2021 (she took a 'career break'), she's 17-6 on grass vs opponents ranked 100+. I don't know much about Knutson (ranked 219), but the 28-year-old Czech has, from what I see, played just 4 career matches on the green stuff.

Bit of a punt here but, Tony Carroll doesn't send many horses to HQ and this 7yo Starspangledbanner gelding is now 3 pounds below his LWM, has a 7 pound claimer aboard and drops in class here. Surely worth a go at double figure odds.

This is a repeat of the 2023 QF here in Halle in which Bublik (ranked 45) led by a set and a break before now world #1 Sinner retired with a leg injury. A slick, quick, grass court like this one is where the 28yo Kazakh usually excels. Bublik has an 88% win rate here, a service/return points won total of 111, 91% service holds and 85% first serve points won. Sinner’s stats are 89% win rate, service/return points won total of 108, 95% holds, 81% first serve points won. In that aborted clash Bublik held serve 86% and was on fire again on serve in R1 LTO, holding 100% of the time, winning 89% first serve points, 12 aces and no BPs faced. Bublik’s unorthodox game will deprive Sinner of rhythm and while Sinner is more comfortable at the net now, he’s not a natural there - Bublik will look to bring him off the baseline/out of his comfort zone with dropshots and short slices. Having made the last 8 at the French Open Bublik’s game is in good order and he clearly loves playing here. I think he makes this a test.

Fernandez (ranked 30) has a decent game for grass, the 22yo Canadian made the QFs in Birmingham and teh Final at Eastbourne last year. She has a 2-0 H2H record over Bucsa (ranked 107), who does not have a great game for grass, she relies on consistency and mistakes from her opponent. The 27yo Spaniard is 4-2 on grass this term but the form of her wins is not great and she is 4-9 in her career on turf vs top 100 ranked opponents.

Auger-Aliassime (ranked 27) has a decent record here in Halle, the 24yo Canadian is 6-2 with the losses both excusable. He got 2 good wins in Stuttgart last week and it was a tight loss in the SF there to eventual winner Fritz., plus he started here this week with a gtood win over a tricky opponent (FTO on grass this season for FAA). He has a 2-1 H2H with Khachanov (ranked 21) and I'm just not convinced by the yo Russian on the turf. He's just 3-4 on grass vs top 50 opponents since 2020 and one of those wins was here yesterday against a likely very fatigued Bergs, who'd just had a pretty tough tournament (he made the final) in Rosmalen.

At Odds Against, I'll take a shot at Halys (ranked 48) getting a head start in a match where service breaks should be few. Halys is a decent player on grass, the 28yo Frenchman has some weapons especially his big serve (he hit 18 aces and won 90% of his first serve points on Monday against Bonzi). And Medvedev (ranked 11) is in poor form and has a rather awful recent record against big servers - on grass he’s 0-4 against them, latterly his capitulation last week to Opelka in Rosmalen when he handed the match to Opelka with DFs. In all Medvedev has lost 6 of his last 9 matches against big servers. It’s not easy to play the way Medvedev does on quick grass and he was beaten here last year by Zhizhen Zhang, so Halys should fancy this and looks value.

Although he's not been in great form of late, I really sould expect Thompson (ranked 37) to win here. The 31yo Aussie loves grass and his loss LTO in Hertogenbosch to eventual winner Diallo doesn't look so bad now. He's 17-10 on grass since 2023, 13-4 in that span vs opponents ranked 50+. Munar (ranked 59) is a confirmed clay-courter, the 28yo Spaniard is just 3-13 in his career on turf.

Djere (ranked 65) is not great on grass, the 30yo Serbian much prefers clay and he's just 6-6 on turf since 2023. He has won 2 Qualies matches here but I just feel Auger-Aliassime will have too much in these fast conditons.

Cerundolo (ranked 18) won a grass title at Eastbourne in 2023, but was rather fortunate to win that and his grass stats are some way inferior to those of Michelsen (ranked 33). Cerundolo didn't win a match on grass last year and his main level service/return points won total on turf is just 97, with a win rate of 47%. Michelsen's service/return points won total on grass is 102 with a win rate of 56%. The 20yo American's game is naturally more suited to grass and in very quick conditions in Halle he can take time off Cerundolo, who hasn't played since a shock R1 loss in Paris to Diallo. Michelsen played a couple of matches in Stuttgart last week and made the doubles final. so he should be more attuned to the conditions and we'll see how motivated Cerundolo is for this grass swing having played a ton of tennis this year, so he may well be less than committed for this few weeks before heading back to the clay after Wimbledon.

Humbert (ranked 20) still looks to be struggling physically - the 26yo Frenchman was flat out on the turf having treatment for a back issue LTO and wasn't moving well in the latter stages. He also has a worse record against fellow lefties, like Shapovalov (ranked 31), at main level (50% win rate versus 54% against righties). And on grass vs lefties he's suffered some bad losses - Peniston, Monteiro and Mannarino have beaten Humbert on turf (his only wins on grass against lefties came against clay dog Delbonis and lowly-ranked Gijs Brouwer). The H2H with Shapovalov favours the 26yo Canadian leads the service/return points won totals of their series by 101.4 to 98.6 and he's won 3 of their 5 clashes. Shapo's wins all came on clay, but we know Humbert has struggled on grass vs lefties. "Shapo" should be desperate to make up for what was a weak performance LTO vs Rinderknech in Stuttgart and this looks a decent chance to do just that.
