Groth, S - Rublev, A

Hello. The first round. Bothems' tennis players will have the first test on grass this year. Of course, Daniil is the favorite, but I think Nuno is underestimated. Knowing that the Russian often doesn't show his best tennis from the first rounds and potentially weaker tennis players can take advantage of that. Portugal definitely has the potential to play on fast surfaces, as they showed in this year's Australian Open, competing with Medvedev and losing 1-3. It's possible to try +4.5, but I'm taking a safer option and think it should be +5.5.

The office confidently announced Zverev/Rublev as the big favorites. Both of them have not played much in pairs, and neither of them are accustomed to being the underdogs. Peru lost in the first round and is likely to drop out relatively early this year. It seems to me that today's match is just for them to adjust to the grass before facing tougher opponents tomorrow. Their opponents may not be super strong, but they have already played together and reached the semifinals at this year's Australian Open. They could put up a fight in front of their home crowd.
