Paula Badosa vs Louisa Chirico prediction

Badosa is the heavy favourite heading into this match. The Spaniard has put up decent performances this year, but is yet to find her best form. She will be desperate to improve her record on grass, the only surface on which she hasn't won a title. Badosa was poor in her only outing on grass this season at Eastbourne. She won only 57% of her first serve points and served three double faults. She will have to improve on those numbers quickly if she wants to make a deep run at Wimbledon. Chirico announced herself on the tour six years ago when she defeated Anna Ivanovich enroute to the semifinals. The American struggled with a shoulder injury between 2019 and 2021 and has played mostly on the ITF tour since her return. This will be her first Grand Slam appearance since 2017. Chrico will enjoy being back on the Grand Slam stage after so many years, but her journey is likely to end in the first round.
