Wimbledon Second Round Prediction
This match between Tim Van Rijthoven vs. Reilly Opelka is one to keep an eye on. Opelka is the 15 seed at Wimbledon this year and is the 18th ranked tennis player on the ATP Tour. He's a massive human at over seven feet tall and has one of the heaviest serves in the sport right now.
His opponent, Tim Van Rijthoven is a riser though. This is his first Grand Slam event after he put on an incredible performance at Hertogenbosch. Van Rijthoven backed up his impressive performance with a win in straight sets over Federico Delbonis in round one at Wimbledon.
I don't think we will see anyone win in straight sets today, as the odds for Tim Van Rijthoven and Reilly Opelka indicate a close matchup. Van Ritjhoven doesn't have the experience but he's hot right now and usually plays well on the surface as compared to Opelka who has the experience but isn't nearly as effective on grass.
For this match, I'll be riding the hot hand and backing Tim Van Rijthoven to win outright. No need for set betting in this one, the value is fine at -120 which I feel comfortable enough to lay in this matchup against Opelka. Let's hope for a fun one today at Wimbledon.
