LiontipsReilly Opelka vs Dominic Koepfer. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Wimbledon (June 28, 2021).
Command Analysis
Opelka had a terrible start to this season. For a long time, the American could not win, but he surprised everyone with a sudden great performance in Madrid, even though clay is not his preferred surface. Reilly reached the semifinals, where he was defeated by Rafael Nadal.
Before Wimbledon, Opelka played only one match on grass. In London, Reilly played three sets against John Millman but was out of luck. The American lost in three sets (6-7, 7-5, 6-7).
In 2019, Opelka reached the third round at Wimbledon, where he lost to Milos Raonic.
2019 was a very successful year for Koepfer. The German showed excellent results on grass. He won the Ilkley Trophy and made it to the quarterfinals in Nottingham. But at Wimbledon, Dominic couldn't surprise the fans: in the second match, he predictably lost to Diego Schwartzman.
Koepfer has played on grass twice this season. He failed to win either of his matches, but put up a good fight both times. The German lost to Yuri Rodionov (6-2, 3-6, 2-6) and to Alexander Zverev (4-6, 6-3, 3-6).

Tip and bets
In the head-to-head, the score had been 3-2 to Opelka, but Koepfer won the last two matches. Most of the fights between these players were quite long and had tie-breaks. We believe that this time we will see something similar. The American, of course, has a big serve, but Dominic definitely knows how to play on grass.
It is possible that several tie-breaks will be played in this match, and this, as you know, is a lottery. We believe that an exchange of sets is very likely.
Our prediction - total over 41 games.
Opelka has a stronger serve and he has a good chance of beating Koepfer. Given the history of the head-to-head matches, we suggest giving preference to the American.
The second wager - Opelka to win.
