Rune has been determined to make a significant impact on tour in the last couple of years. To his credit, the Dane has stuck to his task and won four ATP titles, including a Masters 1000 crown in Paris. Critics will have high expecations from him at Wimbledon.

Kwon Soon-woo, on the contrary, has struggled to find any kind of rhythm in the last couple of years on tour. He showcased his potential by clinching the 2023 Adelaide International 2 and will be eager to find more success. The Korean has a formidable all-around game and good temparament on court.

Rune put up a promising performance in London last year, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the last eight. Considering their recent results and resilience on court , the Dane should be able to absorb the early pressure and advance to the second round.

Pick: Holger Rune to win in three sets.
