Wimbledon day one preview 

Emma Raducanu is the big draw in the women's singles on day one, but while some of results in Eastbourne last week were encouraging, her quarter-final loss to Daria Kasatkina was less so and the 2021 US Open heroine clearly has work to do on her game and, in particular, her stamina.

She opens with a clash against Ekaterina Alexandrova, who is getting better with experience, so Raducanu may do well to see off her doughty opponent in straight sets.

That clash could go the distance, but for punters there may be better opportunities elsewhere.

Jakub Mensik vs Alexander Bublik predictions

Alexander Bublik is pretty limited at Grand Slam level - he has only once made the last 16 of a singles event and that was at Wimbledon last year - and the 23rd seed could be vulnerable in his opener against Jakub Mensik, one of the brightest young players in tennis.

Mensik has a huge future. The 18-year-old has a tremendous physical build for tennis and the conditions at Wimbledon should suit his game down to the ground.

The 6ft 4in Czech's groundstrokes have for a while been a match for some top players and Mensik looks booked to become a top-ten player in a few years.

Mensik finished runner-up to Karen Khachanov in Doha in February, having defeated Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Andy Murray, Andrey Rublev and Gael Monfils on the way to the final.

That shows his pedigree and, while his game is bound to improve on grass with experience, he may have enough to surprise Bublik, who, despite making strides in recent seasons, remains little more than a journeyman pro.

Victoria Azarenka vs Sloane Stephens predictions

It should be a cracker when 30-somethings and former Grand Slam heroines Victoria Azarenka and Sloane Stephens meet in a clash scheduled for Court Two.

And while two-time Aussie Open winner Azarenka remains a proud and capable performer at any level of the sport, time may be running out for the 16th seed, who turns 35 in late July.

There may be unfinished business at Wimbledon as far as Stephens is concerned. She won her only Slam singles crown at the 2017 US Open and reached the final of the French Open a year later.

Both players are former Wimbledon quarter-finalists but with the possibility that Azarenka may now be less effective on grass courts than she once was, this represents a big opportunity for Stephens, who has won the last three fast-court clashes between the pair.
