EXPERT TIPS: WIMBLEDON – MEN’S FINAL

Best Bets

BACK: Alcaraz +3.5 games Vs Djokovic (0.75 units recorded at $1.92)

It all comes down to this, as Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz meet in the Wimbledon Final. Will Djokovic continue his stranglehold on the silverware, or will Alcaraz claim his first grass court grand slam title and establish himself as an all-surface threat early in his career?

It’s worth mentioning that a 1 unit selection on Alcaraz to win the tournament is already in play here, having placed that selection in the leadup to the semi final match-up with Medvedev. It was just the type of performance I was hoping to see from Alcaraz, who did stumble a touch in the third set when close to the finish line. His response though was exactly what I wanted to see from him, wrapping up the match 6-3 6-3 6-3.

It was another example of Djokovic playing the key moments better than his opponent in the semi final with Jannik Sinner. In fact, Djokovic has gone 13/14 break point saves through his wins over Sinner and Rublev, highlighting the fact he brings his best and limits his errors in key moments like break points and tiebreaks.

It’s now at a point where it would take something exceptional to be opposing Djokovic at the money line, such is his level. There are only a handful of players who can take it up to him now in certain conditions, and Alcaraz is at the top of that list. I’ve mentioned multiple times how Alcaraz has adapted his game for the grass, and it is likely to bring him right into this matchup with Djokovic as well, as the Spaniard will look to pressure the Serbian for time.

Nothing extravagant here, however I’m happy to add a selection on Alcaraz at the +3.5 game handicap to supplement the outright selection.

WIMBLEDON TIPS 2023

Wimbledon, formally known as The Championships, is the oldest and perhaps best-known tennis tournament in the world. The tournament, played on grass courts in late-June and early July at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, is the third of four Grand Slam or major events held each year. Betfair’s expert analysis, including Wimbledon tips, is crucial for bettors wanting to stay in tune with the action on a surface that tends to favour hard-serving, athletic players who can cover the court quickly and are sharp at the net.

Although grass is known as the traditional surface for tennis, Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament now played on grass and one of a handful of events worldwide still using the natural turf. The grass courts at Wimbledon, especially later in the tournament when they are drier and worn out, produce super-fast play that often sees the ball stay low. Grass courts favour attacking players with strong serves and who can cover the court quickly and efficiently. Rallies are rarely long, there are aces aplenty, and strategic attacking to win easy points at the net is vital. Bettors wanting to learn more about players with the skill set and athleticism to be successful at Wimbledon can analyse Betfair’s Wimbledon tips, offered as part of Betfair’s extensive range of expert information and data, for all events played during the tournament. 

As is the case at all Grand Slam tournaments, Wimbledon’s two main events, the men’s and women’s singles, each include 128 players. Thirty-two players in each event are seeded according to either world rankings or at the discretion of the All England Club, with match-ups decided in a pre-tournament draw. This system theoretically ‘protects’ higher-ranked players in the earlier rounds by pitting them against much lower-ranked opponents. It also creates potential pathways for the best players to meet head-to-head in the later rounds of the event. Occasionally, ‘name’ players can exit the tournament earlier than expected because of their inability to navigate the quirks of the grass courts. By using Betfair’s detailed expert advice including Wimbledon 2022 tips, punters can make educated and informed choices when taking into account head-to-head match-ups and the abilities of players to handle to grass courts. Bettors who are keen to learn more about which players to back or lay during the tournament can do so by analysing Betfair’s Wimbledon tips today.

Serbian Novak Djokovic has won the past three Wimbledon men’s titles (there was no event in 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic) and six in total. He will be keen to get one closer to Swiss Roger Federer’s total of eight wins, but he is expected to have fierce competition from Italian Matteo Berrettini and Spaniards Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz. World number one Iga Swiatek from Poland, four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka from Japan, American Serena Williams, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, and Romanian Simona Halep, the 2019 winner, are among the likely contenders in the women’s event.
