The Aussie hasn't played a tie-break in 3 of his last 4 matches. In the last four matches of Popyrin in the first set have been played at least ten games.
Kei Nishikori
In 2019 Federer was very close to winning his next title at Wimbledon, but in the decisive match, the “maestro” lost to Novak Djokovic. The Swiss himself can complain about his mistakes, since then he did not realize a double match point. Federer will try to win here again this season, but it will be very difficult to do so. Roger does not approach Wimbledon in the best game form, as he already managed to lose in Halle to Felix Auger-Alyassim (6-4, 3-6, 2-6). In another match the representative of Switzerland defeated Ilya Ivashka (7-5, 7-6).
Alexei Popyrin
Popyrin played a lot more on the grass this season than the Japanese. He began his preparations for Wimbledon with a tournament in Stuttgart, where he lost to Feliciano Lopez (4-6, 4-6) in the first match. After that there was London and another defeat. This time Alexey lost to Daniel Evans (4-6, 4-6). The Australian won his first victory on grass of the season only in Eastbourne, when he beat Norbert Gombosch in three games (4-6, 6-4, 6-1). But in the next match he lost to Ilya Ivashka (7-6, 5-7, 3-6). The year before last, Popyrin reached the second round at Wimbledon. Then he lost in four games to Daniil Medvedev.
Prediction
Popyrin has a fairly strong serve, only the player himself is not very stable. Alexey regularly allows his opponents to break himself. Even on the grass he does it. For example, in last four fights on this surface, he gave his opponents his serve nine times. We believe that Popyrin will again create problems for himself, so we suggest giving preference to the more stable Nishikori. Our prediction is the victory of Nishikori, taking into account the handicap (-3.5) of the game for the odds of 1.72 in BC 1xBet. Nishikori is a fairly qualified tennis player, so he is unlikely to provide many opportunities for Popyrin. The Japanese have won most of their last matches at Wimbledon in three sets, so we doubt the Australian will be able to give him a fight. Second prediction is for a total under 40.5 games in 1.66.
