Wimbledon Tennis Betting - 2nd Round Tennis Free Picks
by Nila Amerova
London, England – Day 4 in Wimbledon tennis betting at BetUS Sportsbook offers an exciting day of tennis betting for the online sports betting hamlet. Here is a look at the many tennis lines and Wimbledon odds that are available, complete with fast facts and free tennis picks, for sports bettors to include on their online wagering tickets.
Tennis Betting Line: Jurgen Melzer -275 Jesse Levine +190
Tennis Betting Prediction: In this all-left-handed duel, the outcome is up for grabs. Although Jurgen Melzer outranks Jesse Levine, there is no reason to discount the young Canadian hopeful. However, if there were a handicap against him it is the fact that he has not had any grass court preparation coming in to Wimbledon. Melzer topped 24th seed Ivan Ljubicic in the opening round. As the favourite, he is expected to win this match. He should.
Tennis Free Picks: Melzer in four sets
Tennis Betting Line: Paul Henri Mathieu -350 380 Jeremy Chardy +225
Tennis Betting Prediction: In this all-French affair, Paul Henri Mathieu will face compatriot Jeremy Chardy, who made a sensation earlier this month reaching the French Open R16. Chardy ranks just beyond the top 108, but after watching his magical run in Paris he should not be discounted. If anything, I like his underdog odds. Paul-Henri Mathieu is notoriously inconsistent, mentally checking out of a match at inopportune moments. This will be an interesting duel between a French up-and-comer and a Frenchman, who has long had the tools for greatness but consistently underachieved.
Tennis Free Picks: Chardy in five sets
Tennis Betting Line: Tommy Robredo +145 Tommy Haas -190
Tennis Betting Prediction: If this were clay, Tommy Robredo would be the straight-up better play. However, interestingly enough, I believe Robredo has a chance in this matchup of cashing in on his underdog odds. Tommy Haas is but a former shadow of his old self. Struggling with injuries Haas enters Wimbledon with a 7-7 mark for the year. With very little action and few back-to-back victories, Robredo just might be able to top the ailing German.
Tennis Free Picks:Robredo in four sets
Tennis Betting Line: Andy Roddick -900 Janko Tipsarevic +450
Tennis Betting Prediction: This is a great matchup and first challenge for Andy Roddick in the tournament. Will Roddick make the same mistake as Djokovic in underestimating his opponent? Tipsarevic came close to topping Federer at the Australian Open. Can he raise the level of his game to the same level he put on show in Melbourne. Roddick is the favourite and carries the weight of expectations. Last year he was surprised at Wimbledon by Richard Gasquet. In Melbourne earlier this year, he was stunned by Philipp Kohlschreiber. For proponents of the theory: Roddick is a spent force, betting against him in this matchup is almost too good to pass. Heck – I will wager on the underdog here.
Tennis Free Picks: Tipsarevic in five sets
