Mauresmo has seldom lost a first round match in Wimbledon since 1997, form that year onwards, she has only lost twice in the opening round and what makes it so impressive is that her victories are all very resounding. People often say that first rounds of grand slam do produces some banana skin matches but I do not think Czink will upset her today. Last week at Eastbourne. Mauresmo had to endure a very tough last in the second round 7-6(8), 7-6(13) and will be keen to put in a good showing today.

Besides the French Open, Wimbledon is the second best grand slam that Mauresmo has done over the years and despite falling off the top 10 rankings, she has remained here or there about at number 17. I do believe that Czink has made steady progress this year but drawing against the French woman is a bit unlucky for her. Mauresomo ahs a 2-0 h2h record against Czink and yo would not bet against her winning yet again today.

Pick: Mauresmo 2-0 @1.66
