On Tuesday, it's Canada vs Australia at Wimbledon as Felix Auger-Aliassime takes on Thanasi Kokkinakis. The younger player, who is also the much higher-ranked player, is the clear favourite to get the job done here, but we probably shouldn't be too quick to discount the Aussie, who when it comes to grass-court tennis, is likely not as far away from his opponent as the current rankings would have us believe.

Our Felix Auger Aliassime vs Thanasi Kokkinakis Prediction

The Canadian player is the big favourite here, which isn't a huge surprise given that he's ranked much higher than Kokkinakis right now. However, is Auger-Aliassime a grass specialist? I'd say he's not. Now, Kokkinakis may not be the most prolific grass-court player, but he comes into this match having beaten Scwartzmann in better style than Auger-Aliassime did recently, which is positive. To be honest, the Aussie deserves a little more respect here, so betting on him to come out on top at what look like rather inflated odds offers some value for money. After all, Auger-Alliasime has lost several grass-court matches to much lower-ranked players, while he has a habit of coming up short first time out at Wimbledon, so does he really deserve to be such a strong favourite here? Definitely not. Our Prediction: Thanasi Kokkinakis to Win.
