Stan Wawrinka vs Charles Broom preview
The first round at 2024 Wimbledon will see three-time Grand Slam Champion Stan Wawrinka lock horns with British Wild card Charles Broom.
Trending
Due to continuous injuries, Wawrinka, who was once the World No. 3, has dropped off considerably in the rankings. The Swiss is currently ranked 93rd in the world.
The 2024 season has seen Wawrinka play only a handful of tournaments. He has lost in the opening rounds at most events. He went down to Adrian Mannrino in a five-set battle in the opening round of the Australian Open. Wawrinka won his opening match against another former Grand Slam winner Andy Murray in the opening round of the French Open. However, he lost to Pavle Kotov in the next round.
Wawrinka has not played any grass-court match this season. Grass has always been the Swiss's Achilles heel, as he has never won a title on the surface. His only final on grass was at the 2013 Libema Open, where he lost to Nicolas Mahut.
Charles Broom is an upcoming British player who has been predominantly playing on the ITF circuit this season. He reached his first challenger final in Nottingham but lost to Jacob Fearnley.
Broom made his ATP main draw debut when he entered the Eastbourne International event as a lucky loser. He lost to Billy Harris in the opening round but gave a good account of himself in a tight three-set match. Due to his performances, Broom was one of the eight players to receive a wildcard for the 2024 Wimbledon.

Stan Wawrinka vs Charles Broom prediction
Wawrinka comes into this year's Wimbledon without any notable form. However, the Swiss has a good serve and is strong from the baseline. His main weapon is his one-handed backhand, which is one of the strongest backhands on the ATP Tour.
However, Wimbledon remains the only major that Wawrinka has not won. He reached the quarter-finals in 2014 (lost to Roger Federer) and 2015 (lost to Richard Gasquet).
Charles Broom is going to play only his second match on the ATP circuit. Despite his weak form, Wawrinka will be the fancied player to win the encounter considering the Swiss player's experience and pedigree in playing on the big stage.
Pick: Stan Wawrinka to win in straight sets
