Federer - Melzer

Good performance can be predicted here, as both players recently competed against each other in the Eastbourne tournament, where Fritz won all three sets. Both players are in solid form, although Fritz has only experienced one grass court loss this year, at Wimbledon. However, he tends to struggle in important moments, as seen with his losses against Peru and Diallo after 2 sets. This will give Fokina the opportunity and potential to take the match to 5 sets again. Fokina has managed to win at least one set against Fritz in 5 out of their 6 previous matches, making it unlikely for Fritz to win 3-0 on grass. I believe a 3-1 or 3-2 result is in favor of the American, especially since he has never lost a first round match at this tournament since 2019. I predict a 3-1 or 3-2 result in the American's favor.

Jarry looks very good in this tournament and having already won 5 matches, it seems like he won't stop there. The young Brazilian surprises with his performance, but I think experience should take over at this stage. His strong serve and consistency make Jarry a serious contender and I believe the odds for him are quite good.
