Sania Mirza's ranking of 85 looks deceiving as everyone knows she is a better player than her ranking do suggests. The Indian lady has won the hearts of many with her precision in her shot makings and it is a pity she has under achieved thus far in recent years. Her opponent today will be from Germany and although her opponent is ranked in the 50+ zone, Groenefeld knows that her speciality is hard court and hence she is a pretty much one dimensional when it comes to tennis.

I think Sania will have her own belief that she can make ti big at Wimbledon this year as it is a matter of time before she starts surprising some people. Moreover, her latest run in Birmingham saw her proceeded all the way to the semi finals before being ousted. First round matches in grand slams are always tricky but I do believe that the Indian star can make it through here.

Mirza has a 2-0 record against her opponent.

Pick: Mirza @1.62
