Tennis Prediction Mochizuki vs Rafael Jodar: Wimbledon

Wimbledon 🍓

• Honestly, I find this line particularly interesting given the match-up.

• The Japanese player seems to be gaining momentum since the start of Wimbledon.

• Coming through the qualifiers, he arrives with a lot of rhythm and confidence.

• Most importantly, he is coming off two very convincing three-set wins against Basing and then Ethan Quinn.

• What I like the most is his return quality: in the previous round, he managed to break Ethan Quinn's serve five times.

• This shows how capable he is of putting constant pressure on his opponent's service games.

• His playing style works perfectly on grass, he is very mobile, takes the ball early and plays extremely flat, which allows him to take a lot of time away from his opponents.

• I think this profile can pose a lot of problems for Rafael Jodar.

• Of course, the Spaniard remains a generational talent, his potential is immense and he already has very good qualities.

• But he is still gradually discovering the very high level and the demands of a Grand Slam.

• Moreover, his first round match reveals a point that catches my attention.

• Against Pablo Carreño Busta, he conceded no less than 18 break points.

• He got through it thanks to his courage in the important moments, but offering that many opportunities against a returner like Mochizuki seems much more dangerous to me.

• I think the Japanese player will be able to put constant pressure on the Spaniard's serves.

• With his current rhythm and return quality, he should get numerous break opportunities.

• And if Jodar offers as many opportunities as in the previous round, reaching the mark of three breaks seems quite feasible.
