Belinda Bencic vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto prediction
Bencic has reached the last 16 at Wimbledon three times in her career. With most of the top guns out of the mix, she has a great chance to achieve a notable result this year. The Swiss has an effortless all-around game with sharp anticipation skills on the court.
Cocciaretto, meanwhile, has stunned the third seed Pegula in the first round. The Italian has the chance to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time in her career. She has yet to drop a set in London and has served brilliantly so far.
An even contest will be on the cards in the third round. While Cocciaretto seems to be on a heater this week, Bencic has also impressed by reaching the third round. Considering their experience at the highest level, the Swiss might have enough in the tank to come out on top.
Pick: Bencic to win in three sets.
