Basilashvili produced a vintage performance to see off last year's semi-finalist Lorenzo Musetti in the first round, and now he comes up against another Italian Lorenzo in the very next round.

Sonego is no stranger to long and dramatic Grand Slam matches. He came through round one in straight sets, but that was Sonego's first straight sets Grand Slam matches since last Wimbledon. He reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open off the back of wins in four sets all the way, he lost in five sets in Paris, and only twice in the past two seasons has Sonego played straight sets best-of-five matches.

The type of players that both men are suggests that this could swing from side to side. Both are very big swingers who go for their winners, and can be wildly inconsistent.

This is why this match has been suggested as a good bet for an overs wager, as it is highly likely to go four or perhaps five sets.

Tauson did have to dig deep in round one to get through against Heather Watson, which is a battle that could put backers off, but Tauson does have all the tools required for a good grass court game.

She served 13 aces in the Watson match, and she pairs a quality serve with big shots on both wings.

Kalinskaya is ranked much higher than Watson, but she lacks game time on the surface in 2025. Her only match on the surface ahead of the tournament was a loss to #108 Ella Seidel in qualifying for Berlin.

Krejcikova could barely have had a more difficult draw to begin the defence of her title. Eastbourne finalist Alexandra Eala is a rising star and was bang in form on the grass, but Krejcikova reeled her in and will have been delighted with how she was able to grow into the match and find her level.

Dolehide comes into this match having finally won her first ever main draw Wimbledon match and did so confidently. However, that was against #92 Arantxa Rus, and this is a very different level of assignment.

Krejcikova has shown in her Wimbledon past that she is able to find a way to grow and win tournaments as they go, and work out the best way to win matches in-play as well. She looks slightly too big a price here given the Eala win.

As predicted in this column, Cobolli strolled through round one against Beibit Zhukayev, this is definitely a step up, but the price on Cobolli getting past the British wildcard still looks a big one.

Pennington Jones beat Tomas Martin Etcheverry in straight sets in the opening round, which is very impressive given the ranking differential between the pair. However, Etcheverry is one of those clay courters whose game doesn't translate to the other surfaces quite as well as others. 

Despite reaching the Ilkley final this summer, Pennington Jones still finds himself ranked in the 200s, so he will have to overcome a big ranking difference again here, except Cobolli has actually demonstrated a higher level of form on the grass than either Etcheverry or Pennington Jones.

It might be a bit of a fight against the home support but Cobolli has the quality to overcome that on the court.
