As with the Ladies I asked AI to do the same with the Mens 1st Round Matches Today
Here is what it produced
Here are my predictions for the key men’s singles matches on Day 1 at Wimbledon (Monday). These are based on current form, grass-court record, draw strength, and recent performances.
| Match | Prediction | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Jannik Sinner vs Miomir Kecmanović | Sinner in 3 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Novak Djokovic vs Wu Yibing | Djokovic in 3 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Daniil Medvedev vs Benjamin Bonzi | Medvedev in 4 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Cameron Norrie vs Tomás Martín Etcheverry | Norrie in 4 | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Lorenzo Musetti vs Fabio Fognini | Musetti in 3 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Alexander Bublik vs Thiago Seyboth Wild | Bublik in 4 | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Matteo Berrettini vs Alex Michelsen | Berrettini in 5 | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Hubert Hurkacz vs Jaume Munar | Hurkacz in 4 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
Jannik Sinner vs Miomir Kecmanović
Prediction: Sinner 6-4, 6-3, 6-2
Sinner begins the defence of his Wimbledon title. Kecmanović is a solid all-rounder, but he lacks the firepower to consistently trouble Sinner on grass unless Sinner is physically below his best.
Win probability
- Sinner: 95%
- Kecmanović: 5%
Novak Djokovic vs Wu Yibing
Prediction: Djokovic 6-3, 6-2, 6-4
Even at 39, Djokovic remains one of the best grass-court players in history. Wu has clean ball-striking but little success on grass and will struggle to earn free points on serve.
Win probability
- Djokovic: 97%
- Wu: 3%
Daniil Medvedev vs Benjamin Bonzi
Prediction: Medvedev 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2
Medvedev has become much more comfortable on grass over the past few years. Bonzi is capable of making this awkward, but over five sets Medvedev’s consistency should prevail.
Win probability
- Medvedev: 80%
- Bonzi: 20%
Cameron Norrie vs Tomás Martín Etcheverry
Prediction: Norrie 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4
A fascinating match.
Etcheverry is more comfortable on clay, while Norrie has a proven Wimbledon pedigree and will have strong home support.
Win probability
- Norrie: 65%
- Etcheverry: 35%
Lorenzo Musetti vs Fabio Fognini
Prediction: Musetti 6-4, 6-4, 7-5
Fognini still possesses wonderful shot-making, but Musetti is now the superior athlete and more reliable over five sets.
Win probability
- Musetti: 88%
- Fognini: 12%
Alexander Bublik vs Thiago Seyboth Wild
Prediction: Bublik 7-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4
Probably the most unpredictable match of the day.
Bublik’s huge serve makes him particularly dangerous on grass, but his concentration can fluctuate.
Win probability
- Bublik: 68%
- Seyboth Wild: 32%
Matteo Berrettini vs Alex Michelsen
Prediction: Berrettini 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 3-6, 6-3
If Berrettini is fully fit, he’s one of the strongest grass-court players in the field thanks to his serve and forehand. Michelsen has the game to push him deep, making this a potential five-set thriller.
Win probability
- Berrettini: 60%
- Michelsen: 40%
Hubert Hurkacz vs Jaume Munar
Prediction: Hurkacz 7-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3
Grass rewards Hurkacz’s serve and first-strike tennis, whereas Munar is generally more effective on slower surfaces.
Win probability
- Hurkacz: 78%
- Munar: 22%
Best matches to watch
⭐ Berrettini vs Michelsen – likely to feature plenty of big serving and momentum swings.
⭐ Norrie vs Etcheverry – a competitive match with contrasting styles.
⭐ Bublik vs Seyboth Wild – high-upside shot-making and potential drama.
Biggest upset chances
- Alex Michelsen over Berrettini (~40%)
- Etcheverry over Norrie (~35%)
- Seyboth Wild over Bublik (~32%)
Best accumulator picks
- ✅ Jannik Sinner
- ✅ Novak Djokovic
- ✅ Lorenzo Musetti
- ✅ Hubert Hurkacz
Those four look like the strongest favourites among the men’s first-round matches scheduled today.
