Prediction and Conclusion
Daniel Evans is one of the fan favorites in Wimbledon and will have huge support from the home crowd. He has never had a significant success at Wimbledon, and that will not be the case this year as well. Alejandro Tabilo, like most of the players from South America, prefers playing on clay, but he has been excellent on grass this season, which eventually led him to the title in Mallorca last week. Evans will have his bright moments in this match, but that will not get him even close to winning.
