Rafael Nadal, the number four ranked Tennis player, is facing off against Francisco Cerundolo (No. 41) in the opening round at Wimbledon. The last time we saw Rafael Nadal was a three-set win against Casper Ruud in the French Open. As for Francisco Cerundolo, he is coming off a first round exit to Tommy Paul in three sets.
This one projects to be a little lopsided but we will get into it and come up with a play that makes sense as well.
Rafael Nadal (No. 4)
Rafael Nadal has been unbelievable this year as the fourth ranked tennis player in the sport. The now 36-year-old is an impressive 30-3 with four titles in 2022. He has two grand slams and 1 ATP title to his name so far in his return from injury.
In 2010, Rafael Nadal won his most recent of two Wimbledon Titles and he hasn't reached the final since 2011. With how he's been playing would it surprise anyone to see him go on a major run to the final or even win it again this year?
Francisco Cerundolo (No. 41)
Francisco Cerundolo is a young up-and-comer at just 23 years old. He is 12-10 this year and now sits at a 17-20 career record. Earlier this year he made an impressive run to semifinal at the Miami Open but hasn't done much since then.
At the French Open, he took an early exit in the first round and will be making his debut at Wimbledon this year after missing the cut just barely last year. Francisco Cerundolo has yet to play Rafael Nadal in his career and it won't be easy for him.

Poor, Francisco Cerundolo. This kid doesn't stand a chance against Rafael Nadal in the first round. This is like opening week of the college football season level of mismatches here. According to the Rafael Nadal vs. Francisco Cerundolo odds, Nadal has a 97.09% chance of winning this match tomorrow over Cerundolo who has just a 6.25% chance. That 6.25% chance might be a little generous too.
Obviously, we can't possibly lay a bet on -3335 but if you are looking for at least a little bit of value, the Rafael Nadal to win 3-0 at -250 is at least a little bit more palatable here. The chances of Cerundolo even getting a set seems pretty slim at -250 isn't phenomenal value but if you have to touch something here that's the play I'd be most comfortable with.
