Ruusuvuori vs Wawrinka Prediction

We have a low-key exciting encounter in the first round of Wimbledon between big-hitting Finn Emil Ruusuvuori and three-time Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka. Ruusuvuori earned one of his best victories on grass when he defeated Jannik Sinner in the lead-up to Wimbledon, knocking off a subpar Sinner in straight sets in Den Bosch. He reached the semifinal at the event, only losing to eventual champion Tallon Griekspoor.

Wawrinka, for his part, hasn’t played any matches since his chaotic five-set loss to Thanasi Kokkinakis at the French Open – that is precisely a month ago, not even an exhibition in Hurlingham. That means the Swiss one-hander will solely rely on his experience and big-match instincts to get a rare W on grass. He has only played four matches on the lawn since the start of 2020, so he’ll come in as the big underdog. Everything points to a Ruusuvuori win here and we can’t see Wawrinka’s fitness lasting a full five sets in full flight.
