Tuesday’s Wimbledon Tips: Schwartzman and Pavlyuchenkova involved

First round action begins in SW19

The Grand Slam action returns today, with the first games at Wimbledon. And there’s some cracking ties on the bill.

In the Women’s Singles, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova is looking to repeat her impressive run here in 2016. Meanwhile, Dominic Thiem has what looks like a straightforward first round clash.

The Coral News Team have tips on those two games, and much more…

Set Betting: Dominic Thiem 3-0 Marcos Baghdatis @ 10/11

Thiem has enjoyed an excellent first half of 2018, reaching his first ever Grand Slam final at Roland Garros last month. And he should breeze past the ageing Baghdatis.

The Cypriot suffered a 3-0 whitewash to Grigor Dimitrov in the second round of Wimbledon last year. That’s as far as he’s got in any major tournament since the beginning of 2017.

Thiem won his first and third round games at last year’s Wimbledon in straight sets, and should do the job here with the minimum of fuss.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to beat Su-Wei Hsieh @ 4/5

The Russian was the surprise package at Wimbledon in 2016, making it all the way to the quarter-finals. She didn’t replicate that form last year, but did get to the quarters at the Australian Open.

All in all, that should make her too strong for the Taiwanese veteran. Hsieh crashed out in the first round at Roland Garros in May. While this might not be all plain sailing for Pavlyuchenkova, she has the quality and power to win this.
