Jannik Sinner vs Grigor Dimitrov prediction from SBR's Gary Pearson for their Round of 16 Wimbledon match on Monday, July 7th:
Pick to win: Jannik Sinner 3-0 (-200 via DraftKings)
"Sinner is terrorizing the tour at the moment, inarguably the most in-form player. The mental strength he's shown after tossing away match points against Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final is remarkable.
Excluding that gut-wrenching defeat to Alcaraz, the imperious Italian has won nine straight grand slam matches in straight sets. Dimitrov packs a punch on grass but, at 34, is embedded in the twilight of his career.
Contrastingly, Sinner, in the prime of his career, is playing like an AI algorithm made him. It's a three-star play due to the buzz-cut short -200 odds, where a winning $10 bet will profit $5. "
Best prop bet: Grigor Dimitrov Under 12.5 games (-130 via FanDuel)
"Dimitrov doesn't match up well against Sinner. Then again, other than Alcaraz, who does?
Sinner won the four previous meetings over the last two years, three of which in straight sets. Grigor Dimitrov's only head-to-head victory came five years ago when Sinner was just two years into his professional career.
If, as predicted, Dimitrov doesn't win a set, this prop should pay out.
They faced each other in the quarterfinal of last year's French Open, with Dimitrov winning 12 games. I expect a similar outcome in today's Round of 16 bout, their first meeting at Wimbledon.
You can opt for 11.5 games at DraftKings or bet365, with the latter offering +100 odds. I'm grabbing the buffer, though, as I have a sneaking suspicion we'll need it."
