Why Bet on Novak Djokovic?

It’s back to business as usual for Novak Djokovic, who prevailed with a four-set victory over first-round opponent, Soon-woo Kwon. That win was a good start for Djokovic, who fell to his archnemesis Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinal stage of the 2022 French Open.

However, the top-seeded entry in the Wimbledon men’s singles tournament was far from his dominant self in the opening round. Djokovic struggled in the first two sets against Kwon and even lost the second set rather convincingly before coming through in the clutch during the last two sets to pick up his 80th-career victory in Wimby.

Djokovic has won each of the last three installments of the grass-court tournament in London and five of the last seven editions of Wimbledon in general. Simply put, there’s no better tennis player in the men’s singles side of matters who’s dominated the All England Club like the sensational Serb.

Why Bet on Thanasi Kokkinakis?

Unlike Djokovic, world no. 84 Thanasi Kokkinakis had a much easier time in the opening round of the 2022 Wimbledon gentlemen’s singles event, dispatching his first-round opponent Kamil Majchrzak in straight sets. The Australia-born Greek upstart is now looking to avenge his one and only loss to Djokovic way back in the second round of the 2015 French Open.

The entire draw is starting to fear the presence of Kokkinakis, who is hot off his first-ever ATP Tour victory in his hometown at the second Adelaide International tournament of the year; an ATP 250 event. Shortly after, the 26-year-old made it all the way to the fourth round of the Miami Open before falling to another top-10 opponent in Alexander Zverev.

Although Kokkinakis lost his one tune-up match on grass leading up to Wimbledon at the Surbiton Challenger, his record at Wimby is relatively decent considering his ranking amongst the rest of the ATP Tour’s heavyweights. He’s 3-2 lifetime at Wimbledon; albeit with his last appearance in London dating back to 2017.

Djokovic vs. Kokkinakis 2022 Wimbledon Betting Trends

• Djokovic is 80-10 lifetime at Wimbledon with six Wimby titles in total.
• Djoker has not been eliminated in the second round of Wimbledon since 2008; a streak of 12 consecutive appearances of advancing to the third round of the tournament.
• As mentioned earlier, Kokkinakis is 3-2 in two career trips to Wimbledon.
• Kokkinakis is 10-10 in his last 20 matches since winning it all in Adelaide.

Novak Djokovic vs. Thanasi Kokkinakis Expert Betting Prediction

It should come as no surprise that Djokovic is expected to cruise past his second-round opponent on Wednesday. However, Kokkinakis has been no pushover of late, and Djokovic’s struggles in the first round of the tournament could very well mean that there’s indeed a reasonable chance that the Aussie youngster can pull off the biggest upset victory of his career.
