Garbiñe Muguruza vs Greet Minnen Prediction: Garbiñe to pick up a lucky win

Garbiñe Muguruza faces Greet Minnen in the opening match of the Wimbledon competition. Both players, though far away on the ranking, have had rough patches in their form lately. Both players have records of defeats in between wins. They both come into this match desperately searching for a crucial win.

World number 10 has not had the best of careers for such a prestigious ranking. In her last 5 games, she picked up just 1 win and lost 4. And before that, it's been a win after a loss and vice versa. Last time out, she was beaten by Camila Giorgi (5-7,3-6). Garbiñe Muguruza needs to turn things around or face a drop in the rankings.

Greet's record is similar to her opponent here although she comes into this with less expectations. In her last 5 games, she recorded just 1 win and 4 losses. Last time out, she faced Sabine Lisicki who is currently ranked 804 and still lost (1-2). It just shows how poor she's been lately and there would be no surprise if she crashes out early in this competition.

These two players have no head to head record between them.

It's difficult to see which way this games will go because the form of both players is abysmal to say the least.
