Surprisingly, Rafael Nadal did not win in three straight sets over Francisco Cerundolo. Cerundolo put up a good fight, lasting four sets against Rafael Nadal who is the fourth-ranked player in the ATP.
Rafael Nadal advances and will be going up against Ricardas Berankis who is ranked 106th. The two veterans have faced each other once in their career, in Melbourne, with Nadal winning.
The oddsmakers aren't giving Ricardas Berankis much of a chance in this match here in round two at Wimbledon.
Rafael Nadal (No. 4)
Rafael Nadal came away with the victory yesterday but most assumed, myself included, that it would be in three straight sets. That wasn't the case so anyone who bet Nadal 3-0 (me) lost.
2022 has been very kind to Nadal as he has four titles including two grand slams. Nadal hasn't reached the final at Wimbledon since 2011 and hasn't won it since 2010 but with his play this year so far he is absolutely a candidate to win.
Ricardo Berankis (No. 106)
On the year, Ricardo Berankis is 6-6 bringing his career record to 127-147. He beat Sam Querrey in three sets and now has to take on Rafael Nadal which will not be an easy task. Berankis looked really good in his first matchup while Nadal at times struggled.
Berankis won 85% of his first serve points in his match against Querrey. If he applies a similar strategy against Rafael Nadal, can he come away with the upset? Here's what the oddsmakers believe.

Rafael Nadal vs. Ricardo Berankis Prediction
Rafael Nadal vs. Ricardo Berankis doesn't look like that intriguing of a matchup when looking at the odds but if you look a little deeper, it might not be one to brush over. Berankis as previously mentioned looked steady in his match with Nadal looking a little up and down.
For Berankis to have a chance he is going to need Rafael Nadal to continue to have that shakey forehand that we saw against Cerundolo. To Nadal's credit, he has just found ways to bounce back all year long.
He is undefeated in Grand Slams and I think that continues against Berankis. Taking Nadal on the moneyline provides little value so instead, I'll go back to set betting. After getting burned on 3:0 yesterday, I'll try my luck with 3:1 in favor of Rafael Nadal. Berankis is good enough to put up a fight and the juice on 3:0 is just too much for me.
