Raonic vs Novak Prediction

Milos Raonic returns to Wimbledon for the first time in what must have felt like an eternity. The 2016 finalist comes in with a protected ranking after spending the last two seasons nursing injuries. He has an impressive 27-9 record at the All England Club and owns a career-best win over Roger Federer, the eight-time champion. Playing this year has left him in two minds as he is unsure of what to expect, saying he could win his first match or lose his first match at the Championships.

He’ll take on the 29-year-old qualifier Denis Novak who came through a very impressive run in Roehampton that culminated in a four-set win over Yosuke Watanuki last Thursday to reach the main draw here for the fifth time. Raonic scored a win on his return in Den Bosch, beating top 50 player Kecmanovic, but it doesn’t give us a benchmark on what to expect from him in his first-round match. The safest pick would be to go for the sets spread as we can’t see this resulting in a straight-sets win for either player.
