Wimbledon Day 3 Betting Tips
In the Gentlemen’s Singles, defending champion of the past three editions Novak Djokovic kicks off proceedings on a sizzling Centre Court sesh by taking on Thanasi Kokkinakis of Australia at 1:30pm (GMT). Kokkinakis, you may remember, formed one half of the triumphant ‘Special K’ duo that sashayed their way to victory in Melbourne in the opening Grand Slam tournament of the year (Speaking of which, his then-doubles partner and compatriot Nick Kyrgios meanwhile had to endure five sets by British wildcard Paul Jubb before being allowed to proceed to the second round).
Djokovic had a slightly Fiat Qubo-up-a-hill vibes in his first round fence-jump against Soonwoo Kwon, managing to overcome the Korean in four sets. Djokovic, who has not played any grass-court warm-up tournaments pre-Wimby, likely has his only chance of a Grand Slam of ‘22 with his expected banishment from Flushing Meadows: Novak by name, no-vacc by nature. But, ultimately, expect the Serb to step up a gear as he bids to join just four other men - after Björn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal - to record a streak of at least four consecutive major titles at one tournament. Having him blasting out of the gates at the expense of his Second Round Aussie opponent and recording a comprehensive victory in three, with the first set being under 9.5 games is found at 8/15 with bet365. It was just last year, Djok dropped the opening set to Jack Draper in the First Round - he then didn’t drop a single one until the final, when he bested Matteo Berretini, whose COVID related drop-out this year has seen both Djokovic and Nadal’s ultimate victory chances raised and odds shortened. Personally, I’m going to put my furry yellow balls to the wall and back under 6.5 games in set uno for this Second Round tie, to be found at 25/1 (bet365). If you find yourself less radical and more on the fence - alright, on the net - under 8.5 is a bit more sensible at 5/2. However, the first part of our treble goes to Djokovic v Kokkinakis lasting fewer than 30.5 games. This is registered at 5/6 with both bet365 and Betfred.
The second part of this tasty betslip sandwich comes from the Ladies’ Singles over on Court One. Though World Number three Anett Kontaveit has managed to cultivate a 47-19 record on grass, she has only progressed past the first round at Wimbledon in 43% of her previous entries, and though she dispatched Bernarda Pera on Monday with relative ease, there is a wobble in the wings. It might be too much an ask for young Jule Niemeier to ease the Estonian’s exit, but for the match to go to three sets in either direction provides the meat at 13/10 (Betfred).
The Return of the King to this trilogy of tips comes, with a somewhat flimsy connection, partly from a player who was just six months old when the cinematic adaptation of JRR Tokien’s novel arrived in cinemas in 2003. Perhaps the highlight for many within the introduction to this year’s Wimbledon came as the exciting 19-year-old wunderkind Carlos Alcaraz was pushed all the way by Jan-Lennard Struff on Monday evening. The back-and-forth meant it was anyone’s match until the fifth set decider, with the youngest man in the tournament Alcaraz digging deep in his second professional appearance at the All England Club. A real tussle, Alcaraz produced a stonking 31 aces to Struff’s also respectable 21 across a total of 55 games in a match that lasted 4 hours and 11 minutes. The Ace area looks attractive, where you can find Alcaraz to produce 20 or more across the match at 25/1 with bet365.
However, the Spanish teenager, who lest we forget has been nursing a troublesome elbow, looks no way near as assured on grass as he does on clay, nor - as was proven at Roland Garros - has he become wholly accustomed to the potentiality of five sets, and though we were privileged to gourmandise on a quite ferocious fight that helps back Alcaraz’ status as the most riveting racqueteur on the circuit, there’s manouverability in the market as he faces World No. 53 Tallon Griekspoor. Boosting our treble to 14/1 is getting behind a +1.5 set handicap for the Dutchman, at 6/5 with Betfred. If you put your money on a Set Handicap at Griekspoor +1.5, our Wednesday Wimbledon wager serves up to a 9/1 smash.
