Emma Raducanu Preview – Brit rises to the occasion
Emma Raducanu went into her opening match at Wimbledon this year with no form or fitness.
She had only made one grass-court appearance, which ended in a First Round retirement.
So there were doubts about her, enough to make her an underdog against an in-form Alison van Uytvank.
But Raducanu put together an accomplished display to win in straight sets.
That was her first time on Centre Court.
Raducanu obviously has some way to go before thinking about a title shot.
Most of that lies in her fitness which has been questionable this season.
In the match outright for Wimbledon betting tips, Raducanu is the 8/13 odds-on favourite* (odds recorded 16:48 GMT on 28th June 2022 at William Hill).
The two players have already met this season and that fixture ended in a success for Raducanu.
Raducanu and Garcia were drawn together at this year’s Indian Wells
The Birth took the match 2-1 which is a quote of 11/4 in Wimbledon Raducanu v Garcia odds to repeat* (odds recorded 16:48 GMT on 28th June 2022 at William Hill).
Raducanu’s record heading into Wimbledon was 8-11 win/loss for the season.
Last year on her Wimbledon debut she had that tremendous run to the Fourth Round from nowhere.
She clearly enjoys her time here. Now it’s all about building a bit of match sharpness and fitness after such a season of struggles.
Caroline Garcia Preview – Garcia a tricky customer
France’s Caroline Garcia is not likely to be a huge pushover on the grass.
Garcia, once touted as being a future World Number One is ranked 55th in the world at the moment.
She hit a career-high of 4th in 2018.
Garcia met a British player in the First Round on Monday as she faced Yuriko Lily Miyazaki.
After dropping the first set, Garcia had to work hard to get the win done in the end.
Garcia triumphed in a deciding set tie-breaker against the Brit who was making her Wimbledon debut.
Given that it was a match that Garcia was supposed to cruise through, that will raise expectations of Raducanu getting past her.
In the match outright for Wimbledon odds, Garcia is the 5/4 underdog* (odds recorded 16:48 GMT on 28th June 2022 at William Hill).

Caroline Garcia’s record at Wimbledon isn’t great, this being the first time in four years she has been beyond the First Round.
Only twice in eight previous appearances in the draw has Garcia made it past the second round.
The best finish she recorded was a Fourth Round exit in 2017.
There has been a title however for Garcia this year, beating Bianca Andreescu at Bad Homburg on Grass earlier this month.
That burst of form came out of nowhere. It was her first title for three years on the WTA Tour.
