Nick Kyrgios vs Laslo Djere prediction
Kyrgios will enter the match as the heavy favorite given his recent performances. The Australian has won six out of eight matches on grass this season. Djere, on the other hand, has a poor record on grass, with only three wins out of 11 matches over the course of his career.
Kyrgios is arguably the best server on the ATP tour and will look to make the most of his serve against the Serb. He hit 30 aces in his loss to Hurkacz. His strong groundstrokes and skilled net play could also come in handy.
Djere is a decent server and it's imperative that he serves well against Kyrgios, who is not the best on return. The 27-year-old is an excellent claycourter, but generally struggles on grass. His best option will be to play as aggressively as possible and attack Kyrgios' second serve.
But the Aussie looks in good nick at the moment and, barring a meltdown, should be able to come through with relative ease.
Pick: Kyrgios to win in straight sets.
