Simon in four sets. 6-1, 6-1, 6-7, 6-1
12th seed Gilles Simon faces Blaz Kavcic tonight to set up a third round matchup with the winner of Gael Monfils and Adrian Mannarino. Join The Roar for live scores from around 10.00pm (AEST) following the completion of Ekaterina Makarova and Magdalena Rybarikova.
The keys for Kavcic tonight will be targeting Simon’s backhand and restricting his serves. This will provide the Slovenian with an advantage over the 12th seed and could see him go through to the third round.
Simon has had a great year so far despite his early exits in the third and fourth round at the Australian Open and Roland Garros respectively. The Frenchmen could be building towards his biggest Wimbledon yet.
Simon’s best result at The Championships is the fourth round, which he achieved in 2009. With the draw on his side, surpassing this feat is well within the realm of possibility in 2015.
Despite sharing a country of origin, Kavcic and Simon have never played each other before. Blaz has a record of 2-8 in his last ten matches and is coming off of a 7-6, 6-3, 7-6 win over Yuichi Sugita. Simon has a record of 7-3 and is coming off a victory over Nicolas Almagro in straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 7-5.
Prediction:
Simon will progress through to the third round with no problems.
Simon in three sets.
