Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+8) for Van Rijthoven – 1.75.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 31 – 2.00.
Van Rijthoven is doing well on the grass. On the eve of Wimbledon, Tim won his home competition in Hertogenbosch, in the final in which he defeated world #1, Daniil Medvedev, in two sets. We believe that Djokovic will have a tough match in the fourth round of Wimbledon.
Van Rijthoven is in excellent form. His current playing conditions allow him to count on success even against Djokovic. We believe that Tim will not be easy prey for Novak.
Judging by the first rounds, Djokovic can safely be called the clear favourite for the current tournament.
Novak had little trouble against Kwon Soon-woo (6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4) in his opening match, but after that, he produced two brilliant masterclasses.
In the first, Djokovic defeated Thanasi Kokkinakis (6-1, 6-4, 6-2) and in the second, he defeated Miomir Kecmanovic (6-0, 6-3, 6-4).
In the game against Kecmanovic, Novak took the first set with a score of 6-0. Later Djokovic played less aggressively, apparently worried about the mental state of his compatriot.
Djokovic has won 11 of his last 12 matches in the 1/8 finals on the Wimbledon courts.
Van Rijthoven, meanwhile, was the main discovery of the grass season. Strangely, he is only now making a name for himself.
In the first half of June, Tim won the tournament in Hertogenbosch and moved up from 205th to 104th place in the rankings.
No doubt, many were shocked when Van Rijthoven defeated first Felix Auger Aliassime (6-3, 1-6, 7-6) and then Daniil Medvedev (6-4, 6-1).
At Wimbledon, Van Reijthoven has not yet given any reason to call his recent success a fluke.
He beat Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-4, 6-3, 6-4) confidently in the third round of Wimbledon. Before that, he dealt with Federico Delbonis (7-6, 6-1, 6-2) and Reilly Opelka (6-4, 6-7, 7-6, 7-6).
In 4 of Van Rijthoven’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with the odds of 2.20.
