The Wimbledon men’s singles bracket is still seeing surprising results, with No. 4 seed Jack Draper and No. 13 seed Tommy Paul both losing as strong expected winners on Thursday. The Friday Wimbledon program features eight contests, with the final match showcasing two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz against unseeded German Jan-Lennard Struff. Alcaraz is listed at -3500 (bet $3,500 to potentially win $100) based on the current projections. Top-ranked American Taylor Fritz, the No. 5 seed, is a -295 pick versus No. 26 seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. There are different Wimbledon statistical chances available for all matches, and new users could explore offerings to possibly enhance their Wimbledon selections.
Additional matches on Friday include No. 17 seed Karen Khachanov playing Nuno Borges and 18-year-old Joao Fonceca competing against Nicolas Jarry. Given the Wimbledon betting choices for each competition, tennis analyst Blake Von Hagen can guide you toward potentially valuable insights to inform your tennis predictions. His advice could also assist new players in discovering opportunities.
Von Hagen has achieved a 27-14 (+9.64u) record on his top picks this year. He has now provided his selections for certain Wimbledon games taking place on Friday. These three picks can be combined for +485 projections and could provide a return of almost $500 on a $100 stake.
Top Friday Wimbledon selections:
- Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Under 6.5 aces (-126)
- Carlos Alcaraz/Jan-Lennard Struff Over 17.5 aces (-126)
- Mattia Bellucci/Cam Norrie Under 24.5 aces (-122)
- Combine these picks for +485 projections (projections subject to change)
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Under 6.5 aces (-126)
Davidovich Fokina has already played Fritz twice on quicker surfaces this year, as they competed in Delray Beach and Eastborne. The Spaniard recorded three total aces over four sets in those two encounters, showing difficulties in surpassing the American with his serve. Fritz is coming off consecutive matches against strong servers in Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Gabriel Diallo, indicating a potentially welcomed change. Davidovich Fokina is ranked below the top 70 on the ATP Tour regarding aces per match (3.7) during the most recent 52 weeks.
Carlos Alcaraz/Jan-Lennard Struff Over 17.5 aces (-126)
If this match is similar to their previous meeting at Wimbledon, this selection might be promising. They combined for a notable 53 aces in London three years ago, with Alcaraz ultimately winning in a five-set first-round contest. He has subsequently faced Struff twice, but both meetings happened on clay. Despite the slower surface, Struff accumulated 10 aces versus Alcaraz in Madrid last year. He has registered 28 total aces hit and 23 aces conceded throughout his initial two matches this week, pointing to the Over as a viable choice.
Mattia Bellucci/Cam Norrie Under 24.5 aces (-122)
Bellucci is perceived as the stronger server in this competition and has reached double-digit aces in his first two tournament matches, though he is ranked outside the top 30 on the ATP Tour in aces per match (7.6). He achieved only three against Norrie in three sets in Monte Carlo earlier in the year, albeit on a slow surface. Norrie has tallied 35 aces in his first two matches this week, suggesting a possible regression for a player who averages 4.7 aces per match and is ranked below the top 60 in that category. You can explore this possibility.
