The second round of Wimbledon will kick off on Wednesday morning for both the men's and women's draws.

First round play was full of action as Serena Williams was able to progress through a difficult match against Harmony Tan in which she saved a match point, while Felix Auger-Aliassime and Hubert Hurkacz were knocked out on the men's side.

Further, bouts with COVID knocked Matteo Berrettini and Marin Cilic out of the competition.

With another packed day of tennis ahead, here's how our analysts are betting the slate.

Matches are listed in chronological order. Match times are subject to change and many will be played after the projected start time. Read here for advice on watching Wimbledon.
