Carlos Alcaraz vs Oliver Tarvet prediction from SBR's Gary Pearson for their 2nd round Wimbledon match on Wednesday:
Pick to win: Carlos Alcaraz 3-0 (-300 via DraftKings)
Best Tarvet prop bet: Oliver Tarvet Under 10.5 games (-140 via DraftKings)
Best prop bet: Under 28.5 games (-126 via FanDuel)
"Alcaraz struggled in his opener against elder statesman Fabio Fognini, with the Italian forcing the Spaniard into a grueling five-set match. That won't faze the No. 2 seed, though, who will use it as motivation, spurring him to source a higher gear.
He's 29-3 on grass courts in his career and has won two straight championships at the All England Club. Not only will Alcaraz be in the mood to correct his Round 1 lethargy, but he will be battling an amateur qualifier making his Wimbledon debut. It's also Tarvet's first professional match on tour.
The combination of those extremes should facilitate Alcaraz's win in 28 games or fewer, as I don't envision the 733rd-ranked player taking more than three games in any set."
