Felix Auger-Aliassime v Filip Krajinovic Head to Head
This is an interesting rivalry which goes all the way back to 2017 when they first faced off on the Challenger circuit. Auger-Aliassime had won that before Krajinovic won the next two at the ATP level. Auger-Aliassime has won the next three after that.

Auger-Aliassime Needs a Solid Start
It’s not been the best of seasons for Auger-Aliassime so far.
After winning four ATP tournaments in 2022 grabbing a career-best ranking of sixth in the world, he has disappointed his fans with his performances on clay giving rise to concern. He featured in four clay court tournaments earlier this season and managed to win just one match, which also included an opening round loss at the French Open.
And coming into the grass court season, Auger-Aliassime was then forced to withdraw from the Rosmalen Open because of fitness woes.
A shoulder injury had ended his stay at the French Open and it looked like it continued to bother him after that as well, forcing him to take a leave of absence from all the three ATP tournaments on grass.
More recently he did feature in the Boodles exhibition competition, losing to Andrey Rublev and defeating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. He might find life challenging back on the courts of Wimbledon.

Krajinovic Last Won a Main Draw Match in February
After having started the season off with back to back wins at the Pune Open that took Krajinovic to the quarterfinals there, his form has fallen off the cliff.
The Serb has featured in 11 tournaments since then, not counting Challenger appearances and won a total of one match. That’s it. One match won and 13 defeats this season.
Which is why someone who was ranked 54th at the start of this season has now fallen to outside the top 200.
Krajinovic’s record at Wimbledon isn’t much to look at either. He has been coming to this tournament since 2010, having made nine appearances before the 2023 edition. He has won just one match, a first round win at the 2022 Wimbledon over Jiri Lehecka.
Can he make this match more competitive than the 5/1 odds for his win suggest?
