Another match that takes place on Day 2 of Wimbledon sees two Italian female players go head to head with one another knowing that a rewarding second round place is on the line. The two veterans of Brianti and Garbin will know that they will have limited opportunities in their reduced career and playing well in Grand Slams is crucial for them now. Between the two, Brianti has suddenly stepped up the form this year with a wonderful 22-12 record. This is an interesting one as Brianti's wins came at a time before the French Season and since then, the two grass court tournaments that she ahs taken part in has ended in upsets. She lost to players with a 200+ ranking and did not even come close at all.

There is nothing much to say about Tathiana Garbin as she is one of those inconsistent players on tour whereby her results are just at random. She fails to put a string of decent results all together. However, I will tipping Garbin on this round as her countryman Brianti must be feeling very dejected and will play this match with no sort of confidence whatsoever and ti will be see her hard to stop the former.

Garbin is 2-0 in h2h records against Brianti.

Pick: Garbin @1.83
