Wimbledon day three preview 

Without doubt the pick of day three’s action is the second-round showdown between men’s world number one Jannik Sinner and his more experienced compatriot Matteo Berrettini, who was runner-up at Wimbledon to Novak Djokovic in 2021.

A fully wound-up Berrettini would pose a serious test to his fellow Italian’s credentials but that currently doesn’t appear to be the case, so Sinner should stamp his authroity.

Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Coco Gauff and Emma Raducanu are just some of the other star attractions on show at the All England Club on Wednesday.

Tommy Paul vs Otto Virtanen predictions

Queen’s Club champion Tommy Paul will be eyeing a deep run at Wimbledon, but the American should not be expecting an easy time of things against Finnish qualifier Otto Virtanen.

Big serves and powerful groundstrokes will always be a weapon at the All England Club and there was a lot to like about Virtanen’s straight-sets victory over Max Purcell in round one, in which he hit 19 aces while his serve was not broken once.

Purcell had finished runner-up to Taylor Fritz at Eastbourne prior to that, so there is probably some substance to that form, and it suggests the 23-year-old could make Paul, who needed four sets to see off Pedro Martinez in round one, pull out all of the stops.

Borna Coric vs Frances Tiafoe predictions

After a lean spell, things are on improving for Frances Tiafoe and he showed plenty of fight to claw himself back from two sets down against Matteo Arnaldi in round one.

That showed Tiafoe is up for the scrap and that could come in useful against Borna Coric, whom he defeated in four sets in the opening round of the Australian Open in January.

Coric was less tested in his opening clash with Brazilian world number 145 Felipe Meligeni Alves but he is a vulnerable grass-court player and, while it is may not be one-way traffic, Tiafoe should come up with the goods.

Naomi Osaka vs Emma Navarro predictions

Having missed the entire 2023 season, four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka is still working away the rust and she looks vulnerable in her second-round showdown with American 19th seed Emma Navarro.

Osaka failed to go past the second round in the first two Grand Slams of the season and she was pretty fortuitous in her Wimbledon curtain-raiser with Diane Parry, having twice trailed by a break in the deciding set.

The Japanese star made 38 unforced errors against Parry and if she does not temper her all-or-nothing approach, Navarro has the defence to frustrate her.

The American is improving at a rate of knots and she built on her semi-final run in Bad Homburg with an emphatic 6-0 6-2 success against Qiang Wang in round one.

Sloane Stephens vs Diana Shnaider predictions

Diana Shnaider looks like a player going places and the 20-year-old Russian can make light work of Sloane Stephens, who is not the force she was when winning the 2017 US Open.

Shnaider made the quarter-final in Birmingham before winning her second WTA Tour title on the grass in Bad Homburg, where her list of scalps included Angelique Kerber, Paula Badosa, Navarro and Donna Vekic.

In the opening round, the world number 30 came from a set down to defeat 2021 Wimbledon runner-up Karolina Pliskova, meaning she has won eight of her last nine grass-court matches.

Stephens has not gone past the third round of Wimbledon in any of her last ten visits, highlighting that it is not her strongest surface, and that should come to light against the progressive Shnaider.
