Ward is a player that was born on grass court and plays his best tennis on this surface. And especially at Queens where he had the best results in his career.
He will come with great hunger and motivation to perform in this game. He beat Isner this year in Davis Cup so he can play good tennis vs the best in the world when he is on good day.
Raonic did not play on grass this season and he had an injurry .. did not play for some months now.
Raonic will not be at his best level after the injury layoff and in his firt match here. Ward, a classic grass courter playing at home in his favorite tournament, will give everything to take advanage.
My guess is Raonic will focus to keep serve and not bother too much on the return. He needs time to get back to his best tennis and I think he will win this by a very close score (7-6 7-6 maybe).
