Analysis for Garbin-Yan (Wimbledon)

Head-to-head record 0:0

Tathiana Garbin, an experienced Italian player will play Yan Zi from China in the first round of Wimbledon. Garbin is a solid player and this year is one of the best seasons in her career. She reached the 3rd round of Australian Open, 4th round at Roland Garros and made some good results on smaller tournaments as well which catapulted her into the top 25 for the first time in her career. But she hates grass and she has never played well on this surface. Her Wimbledon record is 1 win - 7 losses and we don´t expect her to improve this record. She played just one match on grass this year and lost to Bartoli according to the expectations. Her opponent will be young Chinese qualifier Yan Zi. She is 22 years old and still lacks experience from big tournaments but we think that her future will be bright. She showed a pretty good tennis in all qualifying rounds and we believe that her chances in the first round of the main draw are at least 50%. Her YTD record is 13-6 and she doesn´t really mind which surface is she playing on. She played on grass in Birmingham last week and came through the qualifiers there as well. She was beaten by Casey Dellacqua in the first round. This should be a different match and Chinese player could take the advantage of the surface and advance to the second round. Odds above 2 could be taken here.

Final Result: 3:6,6:2,6:3
