I don't think Berrettini is a serious threat for Djokovic. I hope Nole win this tournament and go for calendar grand slam in US Open. That would make him also the most grand slam winner, clearly a GOAT of tennis. It's a big joy to see him.
It's hard to make bets because Djokovic is clear favorite in every game. Only if Nadal and Federer play against him we could see nice odds, other than that I can only watch and enjoy the game. I don't risk my bank for 1.05 odds.

You can choose on other bets like total games because the odds much better. I chose to place a bet in total games over 30.5 with odds around 1.5, in Djokovics vs Shapovalov match and over 3.5 sets in Berrettini vs Hurkacz match and my multibet went well.
For the women's final, I also chose total games. Barty leads in their H2H, but I prefer Pliskova to win this time, and lift the Grand Slam trophy for the first time.

This is the 1st time for an Italian in the final of Wimbledon, never happened before!
Also, I think this is the 1st time in our history that we have4-5 players in the top 30 ATP leaderboard.

But tomorrow will be almost impossible to win.

Italian tennis is in a really strong place ATM. My daughters "future husband" is Berrettini
and when she is home and he is playing she will watch tennis!

My favourite player ATM is a toss up between Sinner and Medvedev.

So tomorrow is a big day for Italian sports fans, its WW day! Wimbledon and Wembley,
and a tough day too, Berrettini being the underdog and Italy playing the final against
a home team.

well you said it yourself, it's almost impossible for Berrettini to win, it is unlucky for him to face Djokovic in the final who's currently unstoppable, he lost only one set in Wimbledon this year, Berrettini needs a miracle to win, i just hope we see an entertaining match.

You are right Djokovic has only lost one single set during all the tournament but his last match against Denis Shapovalov has been very tight 7-6, 7-5, 7-5 then if Novak is in a bad day or if he gets injured during the match then there could be chances for Matteo Berrettini to win.

Yes, first time as well the Djokovic didn't cover the spread in a match, too bad for me. Dennis Shapovalov proved though that Djokovic can be beaten, if Berrettini plays 110% chances are he can upset Djokovic in the finals and yeah this could be a miracle. If ever though Berretinni lost, I do hope that it will be in a five setter down the line game, 5 hours of game play for us tennis fans who's going to watch.

So far Shapovalov looks okay but Djokovic show why he is number one in the world. Shapovalov had a chance to get the first set but wasted it. I don't think he can win this game but he looks promising as a 22 year-old tennis player.
Even if Djokovic goes down 0-2 he wouldn't lose this tournament. Now Nole is only 2 sets away from his 30th Grand Slam final.

Shapovalov is playing really well and I can see him making big troubles for Djokovic if Djokovic just drops his levels a little bit. I have a bet on over 31.5 games which looks like great value at the moment.

I was surprised earlier today with how easy Berrettini dispatched Hurkaz. I expected a 5 setter in that one.

Yes, given how Hurkaz destroyed Federer this definitely came as a surprise. It probably shows that Federer was just weak the other day.

Djokovic again in three sets, it almost feels as if the Wimbledon final is going to be similar to a walkover for Djokovic. Let's hope it is not going to be an extremely boring 3 - 0.

Three sets alright, shapovalov should be very proud though, those sets were close.
7-6, 7-5, 7-5 is the closest anyone has got to Djokovic in Wimbledon this year I think.

Anyone putting a bet on Berrettini to win?
Does he pose a serious threat to Djokovic?

I think if he can land his first serves with high percentages he might stand a chance,
I would love to see him take it.

Well, it's all about Djokovic. Can Berrettini beat him on a bad day? Probably yes. Btu if Djokovic doesn't have a bad day, even a good day for Berrettini won't do it. Djokovic is insane. Even it he were 2 - 0 down tomorrow, I would probably still bet on him. The first serves could be key, but Djokovic's defense has been on point this tournament. He won't give up a single ball as we know him. To me it would be more likely that Berrettini beats Djokovic in the first round of such a tournament than in the final.

Djokovic honestly had a bad day against Shapovalov even he said he had stomach problems against him.But even in a bad day Djokovic won in straight sets.Berrettini is on another level but would really need some serious luck and a really bad day from Djokovic.I see djokovic getting that 20th grand slam.

Tomorrow could be a fantastic day for all Italians but also a day of sorrow and grief.
Realistically, the Italians are not favorites in either football or tennis and it would be a surprise if they win any final tomorrow.
This is especially true of tennis where Djokovic seems unstoppable and he wins even when he plays weaker tennis.
Djokovic has tremendous experience and great psychological strength, and I don’t see who can beat him at Wimbledon.
It's very hard not to be impressed when you go out on the central court of Wimbledon and play for the first time the final of the biggest tennis tournament in the world.
Berrettini is a great tennis player and his time is coming, but not this time, not tomorrow.

[Trofo]

I know doubles are not as popular as singles here on the forum but I have to congratulate our guys Mektic/Pavic on taking Wimbledon title. Croatia has a winner exactly 20 years after Ivanisevic took his  This is already their 7th title this year and they started playing together just this year, unreal. I was always surprised why the did not start the collaboration sooner since both had great double results with different partners in last couple of years.

[Ratash]

I think we have to say well done to Ashleigh Barty for taking this one and going to the final! I know even I myself backed Williams at first, but then injury and early KO just cleared the path for Barty BUT it was still an achievement nevertheless. If she completes it, it will be a first Australian to win in over 40 years!

Credit also to Kerber for getting so far!

I was surprised because she was out from the competition early in roland garros and she did not make an apearence in a long time but in wimbeldon she displayed a real skill show and she won the title against pliskova who have been out of the advanced rounds of competitions recently today was a great show but clearly barty was better.

we have to keep that in mind too that the last match against Shapovalov was really close and Shapovalov was serving for the match in the first set but failed to win it and he lost his serve, and he had a lot of chances to break in the 2nd set but couldn't do it, the match against Berrettini would be different, but i stand by what i said, Djokovic will win but surprises happens sometimes especially when it's against player like Berrettini, it's a tricky one

And Djokovic save 10 out of 11 breaks if I'm not mistaken. Just imagine if Shapovalov breaks Djokovic at 50% rate, he could have lost that match and Shapovalov pulling a huge upset. But then again experience and his big mental advantage was the key to Djokovic winning the match. Really feel sad for Shapovalov as he even cry after the match. Because he knows that he was almost there.

I guess Berrettini needs to play high level and make it unpredictable so that Djokovic will have to guess what's his passing move or returns.

[babygun]

I guess the winner is known. As the others, I don't think that Berrittini can make it happen and think that Djokovic will take another grandslam.

[buwaytress]

So, let's see if Djoker can get this easy today. He's been doing regular 3:0s all tourney, and after wrapping up Barty outright yesterday for 7/1 (so glad I went for that), I'll be happy for any kind of boosted special on him getting a straight set. Narrowly lost the last two straight sets wins when he just missed a game or like the semis, his tie break lost me my bet.

See you in 5 hours, guys.

[Koal-84]

Can Berrettini prevent Djokovic from winning a third Grand slam tournament in 2021? I think not and Djokovic will win the tournament in 4 sets. I don't think Berrettini is strong enough to beat Djokovic.

[Ratash]

Can Berrettini prevent Djokovic from winning a third Grand slam tournament in 2021? I think not and Djokovic will win the tournament in 4 sets. I don't think Berrettini is strong enough to beat Djokovic.

Yes it seems that judging from the djokovic performance he is determined to win the tournament after he won the trickiest game for him against shavovalov even if he won 3 0 that game was really a tight one both players played at the same level shavovalov won many games with 40 0 and its not easy against djokovic.

The great quality of Djokovic as a tennis player is that he can win even when he plays weaker than his opponent, because in the decisive moments of the match he usually does not make mistakes and is calmer than his opponent.
This could be seen very well in the semifinals when Djokovic himself admitted that he played weaker than his opponent but found a way to win.
It is very difficult to play in the final of the biggest tennis tournament in the world for the first time.
The psychological pressure on a tennis player is enormous and it is not easy to endure.
If Berrettini manages to withstand that pressure and plays at the level he has played in this tournament so far then he has a chance against Djokovic, but realistically Djokovic is the favorite.

[Jating]

The current odds for Djokovic is @1.19 and Berrettini @4.20.

For some strange reasons though, I can't put a bet on Berrettini at +5.5, now the odds are slipping away to 1.77. And since is the finals, I think Berrettini will try to fight it out and I don't think that Djokovic can cover the -5.5 @2.20 spread, just like his match against Shapovalov. So I'll pass on this. But for me, this will be Djokovic title this year.

Yeah, I don't think that at this point of Djokovic performance, no one can comes close to beat him. He is a complete tennis player that's why he has a strong hold on the #1 position. The Shapovalov games shows how resilient he is. Maybe Berrettini can win 1 set, maybe not. If Djokovic comes very aggressive in the first set and Berrettini has no response then it could be an easy 3 sets win for him and the trophy and tying Federer's record 20th GS.

[cryptofrka]

Berrettini is really playing well but Đoković is always a step ahead. He needs 1 more set to get his 20th Grand Slam, the same number that Roger and Rafa have.

I'm also really happy for the doubles title that went to Croatia's Pavić/Mektić pair, they are crushing it this year. Pairs don't really get a lot of attention but some games are really fun to watch.

[coinlocket$]

Djokovic is so strong  
Berrettini so far is losing 2-1 need a miracle.
 
I was surprised when he won the 1st set to be honest.
