Dan Evans Preview – Evans looks in good shape
Britain’s Dan Evans was up against Spain’s experienced Feliciano Lopez in the opening round of Wimbledon on Monday.
There was no trouble for Evans at all as he cruised through 3-0.
That was a great way to start the tournament and it continued some nice form from Evans.
The 31-year-old has earned himself a title this year.
That happened in Melbourne at the start of February.
He has followed up with some great efforts, like a run to the semi-finals of Monte Carlo and on grass, he has been performing.
Evans reached the quarter-finals earlier this month of both Nottingham and Queen’s.
In the match outright for Wimbledon tennis betting, Evans is a quote of 2/13 odds-on to win, so a big favourite* (odds taken 23:32 GMT on June 29th)
Will it be as comfortable as the odds are suggesting that this is going to be for Evans?
He will, of course, have a big partisan home crowd behind him.
This will be the second meeting between Dan Evans and Dusan Lajovic
The previous meeting happened this year on the clay at the aforementioned ATP Master 1000 Monte Carlo event.
Evans collected a 2-1 set win in that fixture.
The way that he cruised through his opening match against Lopez, we think that Evans is well worth considering in a 3-0 set betting option at 19/20* (odds taken 23:32 GMT on June 29th).
At the last Wimbledon tournament, Evans did reach the third round.
That was the second time in his career that he had made it that far in the Grand Slam draw. Can he follow up?
Dusan Lajovic Preview – Can Lajovic topple Evans?
Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic has a tough second-round match on his hands according to the bookmakers.
But he is here, standing in the Wimbledon draw still as he looks to build on a big opening win.
He faced Gilles Simon in the opening round and Lajovic took it 3-2.
So he had a big, extended match on his hands there which could naturally work against him.
It was a big effort from Lajovic after he had let a 2-0 set lead go against the Frenchman.
That victory against Simon snapped a three-match losing streak that Lajovic had been on in ATP matches.
It really hasn’t been a productive season from the 31-year-old to be fair.
Lajovic held a W8 L16 season match record heading into Wimbledon.
So there really shouldn’t be anything for Dan Evans to fear in this particular opponent.

Dusan Lajovic tried his hand on the grass at the recent Mallorca event and lost in straight sets in the opening round there.
This is only the third time that Lajovic has been past the opening round at Wimbledon.
He has never made it past the second round and we would expect that trend to continue.
Overall it is a W2 L6 record that he held at this particular Grand Slam ahead of this year’s edition.
There is a quote of 23/10 on a Lajovic +1.5 Set Handicap for tennis betting* (odds taken 23:32 GMT on June 29th).
