Wimbledon tennis picks: Dimitrov vs. Moutet, Monfils vs. Fucsovics

• Posted on July 3, 2025

Second-round competition at the All-England Club concludes on Thursday, when Frenchmen Corentin Moutet and Gael Monfils take the court. They are going up against Grigor Dimitrov and Marton Fucsovics, respectively.(19) Grigor Dimitrov vs. Corentin MoutetMoutet takes a surprising 2-0 head-to-head lead over Dimitrov heading into their Wimbledon second-round showdown on Thursday afternoon. The French left-hander prevailed in a five-setter at Wimbledon in 2019 and 7-5, 6-2 at an ATP 250 in Melbourne two years later. Moutet has a great chance to make it 3-0, too. The world No. 69 reached the fourth round of the Rome Masters, upset Taylor Fritz at Queen’s Club after qualifying for the main draw, was a finalist in Mallorca last weekend, and crushed Francisco Comesana 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 on Tuesday.

The story of late has been a much different one for Dimitrov. Injury problems have sent the 34-year-old Bulgarian crashing out of the top 20 (currently 21st) and prior to Tuesday he had not won a match since Madrid in late April. Dimitrov faced another injury-plagued opponent in round one and cruised past Yoshihito Nishioka 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. The No. 19 seed certainly has a chance if he is actually 100 percent physically, but Moutet is the much more reliable player right now and his past performances against Dimitrov also can’t be discounted.
