Muller is known to be one of few grass specialist on tour. With big serve and good net play but also good forehand from the back he is a forse to be reckoned with on these kind of fast surface.
Muller meets Kuznetsov a dangerous players who plays fast and had a good win Cuevas, 3-2, in the first match. Muller also had 3-2 win but with Giraldo, much less dangerous player and needed 15-13 in final set!
Muller match in first round doesn't look good but he was coming after semifinal in Nottingham, maybe a bit tired.
Kuznetsov win with Cuevas was a big upset, specially as Kuznetsov did not do anything this season on grass and was in poor form. But Cuevas played so, so much tennis before Wimbledon. Was coming after a final in Nottingham where he had very hard matches, 3 setters, saved set points. After he was 2-1 up to Kuznetsov it was clear he was tired and I think that is why he lost that match.
Despite Muller problems in first round I think he will be better in this game and take an expected win.
