Prediction published on 6/30/24, 12:05 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 6/30/24 at 12:08 AM in ATP Wimbledon Championships Picks

Casper Ruud of Norway will kick off his Wimbledon Open campaign on Monday as he goes up against qualifier Alex Bolt of Australia in the first round of the men’s singles tournament at All-England Club. Ruud aims to deliver a memorable run in Wimbledon after failing to get past the second round of this grass-court Grand Slam on four different occasions. Ruud will play his first grass-court match this year after he skipped all warmup tournaments leading up to Wimbledon. Meanwhile, Alex Bolt has played in two grass court tournaments before plunging into the qualifier phase of the 2024 Wimbledon Open. The Aussie qualified for the main draw of the Surbiton Challenge but lost in the first round to Mackenzie Mcdonald of the United States 7-6(3) 6-0 and then reached the second round of the Nottingham Challenger, where he lost to Juncheng Shang of China in straight sets 6-4 6-3. In the Wimbledon qualifiers, Bolt toppled both Nicolas Kicker of Argentina and Rudolf Molleker of Germany in straight sets before outlasting Leandro Riedi of Switzerland in an epic five-set battle 6-7(2) 2-6 7-6(7) 7-5 6-4.
