Wimbledon Mens - Day 2
After a great first day which saw us tip up four out of four winners, we head into Tuesday on a high, and we'll dive straight into a bet on Bernard Tomic in his match with Mischa Zverev.
The Australian is a natural on grass, and this is actually the second time the pair have met on the surface in just under a week. Last week at Eastbourne Tomic took Zverev apart 6-3 6-2 and dominating every statistic - with a dominance ratio of 1.45 (pts won to pts lost).
With a career 57-31 grass record, this is really his best surface, and the Aussie rached the fourth round in 2016, 3rd round in 2015 (losing to Djokovic), 4th round in 2013 and quarter finals in 2011.
There is really no reason to think this should be all that close, and although Zverev has shown glimpses of ability on the surface (notably running Lopez very close in Stuttgart), Tomic gets a nod at 15/16 with UniBet.

Gilles Simon is a man who could also progress to the 2nd Round, and he could do it even more easily when he tackles Nicolas Jarry.
Simon has a long heritage on grass - over 40 career wins - so is right at home here, while Jarry is playing just his ninth match on the surface and has already lost 5.
Jarry is a clay man through and through (like most Chilean players) and has played over 80% of his matches on the dirt. It's not an easy switch, and he may have done as much as he has just in making it through qualifying - he required an 11-9 final set in the second qualifying round, and struggled to win his third round match as well.
Simon is 6/4 to win 3-0 which looks too long.
Finally, another man who can win 3-0 is home favourite Kyle Edmund, when he plays Alexander Ward. Ward isn't even ranked inside the Top 800, but has come through qualifying after being overlooked for a Wild Card this time around. He's done a superb job of course, but beating a Top 50 player is another matter altogether.
Edmund is 13-1 against players outside the top 500 in the past three seasons, and will fancy his chances of a quick match in this one. With Edmund looking ahead to a potential match with Gael Monfils, he will be keen to get this one done and dusted as quickly as possible, and it's unlikely he will ease up once he gets into gear.
