Novak Djokovic will meet Soonwoo Kwon in the First Round of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. The match is scheduled to be played on Monday June 27th, 2022.

Top seeded Novak Djokovic will begin his 2022 Wimbledon campaign with a First Round encounter with Soonwoo Kwon. The Serbian is the big favorite to lift the trophy here in England and he will be eager to get off to a solid start. Can his Korean opponent cause the major upset? Or will Djokovic move on as expected?

Novak Djokovic is the top seed here at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. Even though he is now ranked third in the world, both men above him aren’t here this week as Daniil Medvedev is unable to compete due to the ban on Russian athletes and Alexander Zverev suffered a major injury. Djokovic is easily the most successful grass court player in the draw with six Wimbledon titles and many people have predicted that he will win the entire event relatively comfortably. His baseline game is perfectly suited to this surface and the defending champion is heavily favored to get off to a fast start here against Soonwoo Kwon.

Soonwoo Kwon is a very talented player but he has been having a miserable time on tour recently. He has lost ten of his last thirteen matches, including four First Round losses in a row. His last two losses have come on grass, which is not a good omen heading into Wimbledon, especially when you consider that he has to play against Novak Djokovic. On a good day, Kwon is capable of troubling the top players with his baseline game, but all signs are pointing towards a straight sets loss here. He would have to play his best match of the year to make sure that the score line doesn’t get out of hand.

This is as easy as they come, Novak Djokovic will win this match with ease. His opponent Soonwoo Kwon is in terrible form, and even if he wasn’t, the number one seed wouldn’t have much trouble. He is on another level, and will be a man on a mission as he attempts to close the gap between himself and Rafael Nadal in the Grand Slam title race. Djokovic will win, bet on it in straight sets to get better odds.
