LiontipsKei Nishikori vs Jordan Thompson. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Wimbledon (July 1, 2021).
Command Analysis
Nishikori did not look great at the Halle Open. In Germany, the Japanese tennis player lost in the second round to Sebastian Corda (6-2, 3-6, 5-7). But at Wimbledon, Kei performs much better. In the first round, he won a landslide victory over Alexei Popyrin, hardly noticing the opponent's efforts (6-4, 6-4, 6-4).
It is worth mentioning, that in 2019 Nishikori reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. Back then he beat Monteiro, Kukushkin, Norrie, and Johnson. Only Roger Federer managed to stop him.
Thompson has never passed the first round at Wimbledon. He has played four times at the Major but went home immediately after the opening match. But the year 2021 has been more successful for him so far. In the previous match, he defeated Casper Ruud (7-6, 7-6, 2-6, 2-6, 6-2).
It is worth mentioning, that Jordan had some practice on grass courts before the start of Wimbledon, though without much success. The exception was the Mallorca Open, where he reached the quarterfinals.

In the last head-to-head match, Nishikori defeated Thompson in two sets (6-1, 6-1). We do not expect such a crushing score this time, but Kei must pass the Australian, whose performance on grass is far from impressive.
