Lucas Pouille Preview – Can the Frenchman cause an upset?
France’s Lucas Pouille, who is ranked 95th in the world at the moment, has a tough first round match at Wimbledon this year.
It is only a W3 L7 season record that he has managed.
This summer on his build-up for Wimbledon, he lost in the first qualifying round of Queen’s.
Then Pouille did get through two qualifying rounds on the grass at Mallorca, before falling in the first round of the main draw against Karen Khachanov.
In the match outright for Wimbledon betting, Pouille is a quote of 10/3* (odds taken 04:48 GMT on June 28th 2021).
It has not been the kind of form this season that really should see him pull off an upset.
Pouille did reach the third round at Wimbledon 2019 where he was stopped by Roger Federer.
The best finish the Pouille produced at the Grand Slam was a surprise quarter-final berth in the 2016 edition.
He looks a long way short of being able to put a run like that together.
In the games handicap market for Wimbledon tennis betting there is a quote of 10/11 on Pouille +5.5* (odds taken 04:48 GMT on June 28th 2021).
Pouille and Norrie have met once before.
That was at the 2018 French Open and it was Pouille who won the day there in four sets on the clay.
This is a different matter on the grass and looking at his game, we have a hard time seeing how he creates enough chances against Norrie’s serve to get into the match.
Cameron Norrie Preview – In-form Norrie to progress?
Britain’s Cameron Norrie, currently ranked 34th in the world is enjoying a fantastic season.
The 25-year-old has missed out on a title, but has been to three finals this year on the ATP Tour.
The most recent of those was at Queen’s where he was beaten by the in-form Matteo Berrettini.
Norrie’s other appearances in tournament finals this year were in Estoril and Lyon.
So he has been knocking on the door and for this match he is a current 2/9 odds-on quote in Wimbledon tennis betting* (odds taken 04:48 GMT on June 28th 2021).
That has left him on a 29-13 season record, which is very handy.
It’s the kind form, with that proven run on the grass recently, that should see him get through this first round challenge.
Out of the Brits lining up in the Wimbledon 2021 draw, Norrie looks like being the one to go the furthest.
This will only be the fourth appearance in the main draw of the Grand Slam for Norrie.
He made it past the first round for the first time last year before falling in straight sets to Kei Nishikori.
