ATP Wimbledon 1/64-Finals
Gaston – Mensik: 01.07.2025 17:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Hugo Gaston has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was at the French Open, where he withdrew from his second-round match against Shelton. So far this season, the Frenchman has not played any competitive matches on grass. His last grass-court match was at Wimbledon last season, where he lost to Muller in the opening round in straight sets.
Jakub Mensik has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Eastbourne, Mensik lost against Davidovich Fokina in the quarterfinals in straight sets. Last season at Wimbledon, Mensik lost against Bublik in the opening round in five tight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Gaston is the big underdog in this matchup, and we agree. The Frenchman has never succeeded on grass courts and is coming into this matchup without any preparation matches. On the other hand, Mensik plays his best tennis, and we expect him to win comfortably today.
That being said, Mensik covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jakub Mensik -7.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
Hijikata – Goffin: 01.07.2025 17:00 CEST
H2H: 1-2
Rinky Hijikata has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Mallorca, Hijikata lost against Tomic in the opening round in three tight sets. Last season at Wimbledon, the Australian lost against Cobolli in the opening round.
David Goffin has lost four of his last five matches. Last season at Wimbledon, Goffin lost against Bellucci in the opening round in four sets. So far this season, he has not played any competitive matches on grass.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Hijikata is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a solid grass-court player and has already played six matches on grass this season. We expect him to be a better player today and win easily.
That being said, Hijikata winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Rinky Hijikata winning @1.53 @bet365
Shelton – Bolt: 01.07.2025 17:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Ben Shelton has lost four of his last five matches. Last week in Mallorca, Tien upset him in the 1/8-Finals in straight sets. Last season at Wimbledon, the American lost against Sinner in the 1/8-Finals in straight sets.
Alex Bolt has won four of his last five matches. This week at Wimbledon, Bolt qualified for the main draw tournament. In the final qualifying round, he defeated Landaluce in straight sets easily. Last season at Wimbledon, Bolt lost against Ruud in the opening round in three tight sets.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Bolt is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He enjoys playing on grass and has played well in the qualifying tournament. On the other hand, Shelton struggled on grass this season. We expect Bolt to keep this match tight.
That being said, Bolt covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Alex Bolt +4.5 games handicap @1.80 @bet365
