Wawrinka is playing Djokovic today, does he have what it takes to get one set today? Nadal and Federer aside, Wawrinka is probably worst player for Djokovic to play for, he took him two GS titles in finals, first RG, and year later US open, so rivalry is at highest

Has it not been a while? Wawrinka is 38 years old and will stop playing tennis in the next years. It is certainly great for him to play against Djokovic again. But I do not see much of a chance.

The matches of Grigor Dimitrov against Sho Shimabukoro and of Katie Boulter against Daria Saville were disrupted by protests on Wednesday. Activists threw confetti and puzzle pieces onto the court. The activists are now to be banned from Wimbledon for lifetime.

[Strongkored]

Did he get injured perhaps? 

Ruud had a bit of treatment and after the treatment he wasn't really moving around that much, maybe it was an injury but it didn't seem like a serious injury but Broady managed to make the fifth set really just his game as it was quite strange Ruud couldn't take a game in the last set.

Medvedev managed to finish his postponed match quickly without allowing Mannarino to improve his game.
Another postponed match Tsitsipas vs Murray is still not played and this is one of the matches to look forward to, Murray is in the lead but postponement might change the game directions.

The first and second seeds will play their matches today but Alcaraz is their second match whereas Djokovic is lucky because this is his third match and he is the seed whose schedule has not been disrupted due to the rain.

@bct_ail Mannarino will have the psychological edge here as he’s been the better player whenever these two have competed against each other but I equally believe that Medvedev would like to win and prove why he’s yet the best. Furthermore it’s difficult to wager on this match and if you’re yet wagering then the past matches record favour wagering on Mannarino but my gut feeling is saying that Medvedev would have improved and will beat him so don’t wager too much on this match.

Thank you for the link. You were right in guessing that Medvedev would win and you probably bet on it.

Berrettini won his match rather unspectacularly against De Minaur and will play against Zverev or Watanuki. The first set was very decent from Zverev. But in the second set he was not convincing. He had some discussions with the referee and that probably bothered him too much, so he lost set 2.

Zverev won the match so we will see a great duel between him and Berretini in the next round. Both players serve good so we might see a five set match between these two guys. Berretini won the match against De minaur pretty easily in straight sets and i think no body expected thet to happen so easily.

[cryptofrka]

Some really unexpected results on Wimbledon so far, but it's a weird tournament from the start.
With constant rain and a lot of players out of form maybe I should of expected this.

Fucsovics might be a tricky one for Medvedev tomorrow, but I'm actually curious to see if Wawrinka can complicate things a little bit for Đoković tonight.

[aoluain]

Tsitsipas vs Murray could be an interesting match. Everybody will cheer for Murray and as it is still early in the tournament, I think he can stand a chance. Tsitsipas is also not so consistent so there might some value on betting on Murray (or a handicap); need to check the odds.

The fight will take place today but I don't agree with you preferring Murray.
I think Tsitsipas will have more advantages and a chance to win because he is a player who is in 5th place, plus he is much younger than Murray.

On clay court Tsitsipas is my favourite and for this tournament he is still one of the favourites.
The winning bet option for Tsitsipas I still think it deserves to win.

I second that. They both surely deserve to win but Tsitsipas is much younger and arguably has more chances (some bookies don't think so). I hope everyone watched the Tsitsipas v Thiem thriller yesterday. That was a great 5 set match so intense wow.

Anyway, some exciting matches to watch today (my bet marked in bold):

Broady v Ruud
Murray v Tsitsipas
Zverev v Brouwer
Rublev v Karatsev
Medvedev v Mannarino
Etcheverry v Wawrinka
Cerundolo v Lehecka

Have fun watching and betting guys!  

Does anyone fancy Murray's chances against Tsitsipas? Its just about to start in about
5 minutes, Is a mini bet on Murray a viable punt?

Murray - Serious experience, serious shot making but limited mobility v's
Tsitsipas - Serious
talent but poor current form and not a natural grass court player...

Just looked at the odds and Murray is favourite - 1.75 v 2.05 for Tsitsipas...

My two bets for todays matches won today,
Wawrinka beat Etcheverry but he unluckily plays Djokovic next.
 and Bublik beat Wolf and moves on to play Marterer next so he should come through that one.

Not a surprise for Andy sees this tournament his home court advantage and said many times over he wanted to retire playing here as the final match of his tennis career.

But Murray vs Tsitsipas showed him being up 2 games to 1 game for Stefanos.

snip

I recon if play wasny suspended last night Andy wuold have won, he was really on top of his
game when he won that 3rd set and I kind of knew Tsitsipas would take that 4ts set on the resume today.

Wawrinka is playing Djokovic today, does he have what it takes to get one set today? Nadal and Federer aside, Wawrinka is probably worst player for Djokovic to play for, he took him two GS titles in finals, first RG, and year later US open, so rivalry is at highest

Just watching this legendary match up now, it feels like a classic really. I caught a snippit
of an interview with Wawrinka before this match and he is very aware that he has little
chance of beating Djokovic but he is focussing on his performance, he doesnt mind losing
today/tomorrow but it has to be on a good level for him.

Its true that he is also in his Tennis twilight years but he has done remarkably well to get
back from being out for over a year and is actually competitive enough.

All my bets, except for the Ruud one won. I'm happy I didn't place a combo.

Wawrinka is 38 and overweight I don't think he can win Djokovic tonight. The match is already live: Djokovic won the opening set, now 1:0 in the second with an early break.

[tiCeR]

Djokovic must have thought that this night is going to be a very relaxed night for him after taking a quick 2-0 lead in sets with little to no resistance from Wawrinka, but then Wawrinka was the old Wawrinka again and gave Djokovic a hard time to take home the 3rd set as well. For a second I was hoping that this could turn into a closer game much more than anyone could anticipate. I even put €0.60 on Wawrinka when he had the lead in the tie break now The odds were roughly 50 so why not... But it had to end as it had to end. Deserved win by Djokovic.

Djokovic is just so good on grass. Without a sweat he beated Wawrinka in this match. He looks so good and might win easily the entire thing. I dont see anyone beating him in all of the matches. Even Alcaraz cannot beat when he is in his prime. This should honestly just be a walk in the park for Djokovic. 24 grand slam is just around the corner. Only one who can beat Djokovic now is himself honestly.

Djokovic in the tie break was quite superior, he had the highest percentage of 65.5% among the other players. Apart from Wawrinka who is quite old he is also not that great on grass so there are not many opportunities for him to beat Djokovic on the surface who is also one of Djokovic's favorites
https://www.atptour.com/en/stats/win-loss-index/career/tiebreak/all/

Zverev vs Berrettini, both players have the same weapon, namely serve and after taking a break in several tournaments due to injury Berrettini will again try to repeat his best performance two years ago by becoming a finalist, this match is very likely to be a match that lasts 5 sets.

Novak Djokovic did well in his previous matches. He was obviously the superior one. This also shows that how well he can perform under pressure. In the next match, he is going to play against Hurkacz. He should be able to win that match as well.

Zverev vs Berrettini, both players have the same weapon, namely serve and after taking a break in several tournaments due to injury Berrettini will again try to repeat his best performance two years ago by becoming a finalist, this match is very likely to be a match that lasts 5 sets.

Zverev is ahead compared to his opponent when it comes to head to head comparison. 4-1 in favour of Zverev. Berrettini is better compared to Zverev when it comes to serving though. Let's see how they can perform on grass. I will still say that Zverev is going to be the winner of this match.

my hopes were to see Stan as in third set from beginning, but he had to let two sets easy and derail my bet
didn't thought that he can win, but to play hard at least

and he did that, but just in third set
playing on grass is possible even when you are not in great shape for good servers, but one can't expect to reach finals or something

[Trofo]

Again rain disrupts the plans at Wimbledon but we have a nice match between Medvedev and Fucsovic just starting under the roof. Bookies made Medvedev big favorite but I think Fucsovic has what it takes to even win this match. My bet is on Fucsovic to take at least one set @1.6 for serious stake and then I have one more for him to win 3:0 at odds over 20, don't remember exact odds at the moment. That bet is just for fun anyway.

[Slow death]

here are the games I added to my parlay:

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina - Holger Rune

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina currently occupies position number 34 in the ATP ranking, and in the past, more specifically 3 months ago he reached position number 24, he is an athlete who has wasted some opportunities and for that reason cannot improve much of position, on the other side he will face number 6, I'm talking about Holger Rune who in this Wimbledon tournament is doing very well, so I see Wimbledon winning this game, odds for this game in case Wimbledon wins is in @ 1.40 which shows that it will not be a very easy game for the Holger Rune

Laslo Djere - Stefanos Tsitsipas

Laslo Djere comes to this game occupying the position number 60 in the ATP ranking, and 4 years ago he was in a better position, he has already reached the finals of 4 important tournaments, at Wimbledon he is doing well. on the other side we have Stefanos Tsitsipas who occupies position number 5 in the ATP ranking, in this tournament Tsitsipas is doing well, which means that his chances of beating Laslo Djere are good. so I will bet on Tsitsipas to win the game

Carlos Alcaraz - Nicolas Jarry

Carlos Alcaraz, who currently occupies position number 1, had no difficulty in this Wimbledon tournament and will play against Nicolas Jarry, who currently occupies position number 28 in the ATP ranking, and Nicolas Jarry is also performing well in this tournament. I doubt that Nicolas Jarry poses any danger to Alcaraz, so I bet on Alcaraz's victory

That’s a nice prediction though, thought that at first too but I wasn’t that really sure if he could win a Set outrightly but he did, nice prediction 👍....
_______________________________________________________________________________ ____________

I am hoping on Rune to Win first Set and the full match, I predicted that alongside Jarry Nicolas under 14.5 total games.... That accumulated to about 3.2odds and I went all in.

This year's Wimbledon is quite interesting. I feel sorry for Murray yesterday, he was so close to another big win but still didn't last until the end against Tsitsipas.
The question of all questions at this Wimbledon is, can anyone stop Djokovic from winning another GS?
I'm just watching today's matches and I see that Alcaraz is struggling a lot against Jarry, as well as Medvedev against Fucsovics.
Both will probably win in the end, but I don't think they have a chance against Djokovic.
Someone else? Very difficult. Djokovic is the big favorite in this tournament.

Murray had an amazing chance to win the match against Tsitsipas but just couldnt keep up with him in the fifth set. He didnt take the chance in the tie break and thats when Tsitsipas broke him. Djokovic is playing without a sweat against everyone. Its like when he steps on grass he is unstoppoble.

Agreed after watching a decent amount of Wimbledon action I don't know who is going to beat djokovic.  I think the only one at this point will be himself with unforced errors.  The girls side has been underwhelming so far.  Wanted to see coco gauf get deep into this tourny but she bowed out pretty quickly.

I know that Djokovic was too strong for Wawrinka, but I came across the game on the betting platform and saw the odds when Wawrinka was leading in the tie break and I thought maybe this is one of these rare games that go down in history because there was this insane win by Wawrinka when he was two sets down! That's why the odds were around 50 and I only gave it my €0.60

The Alcaraz game is also interesting at the moment as he lost a close tie break but is now back to his form and dominates the second set. Zverev is interesting as well although I think he will again fall apart at some stage before the final in this tournament.

Too bad for you, especially with Jarry winning that 2nd set, there was no feasible way for the Under 14.5 too play out, and Jarry is currently on the his way to probably draw the game at 2 set apiece, your rune bet is the only one left that could playout.

The Alcaraz game is also interesting at the moment as he lost a close tie break but is now back to his form and dominates the second set. Zverev is interesting as well although I think he will again fall apart at some stage before the final in this tournament.

Quite identical to the Djokovic game, Alcaraz is also being kept on his toes, and it's not getting any easier for Alcaraz as the game progresses. Alcaraz would imo just end still being too much to handle for Jarry and would win the game eventually.
