Wimbledon 2025 Day 2 Betting Tips

Ben Shelton takes on Alex Bolt in this Wimbledon first-round encounter, with Tipman Tips backing the rising American star to deliver a dominant performance. Shelton made a solid impression at Roland Garros before falling to Alcaraz, and although his grass-court preparation included a couple of early exits, he did push Zverev to two tie-breaks in Stuttgart. While grass still isn’t his natural surface, the gulf in class between these two should be decisive.

Bolt has the tools to be awkward on quicker surfaces, but the conditions and style of modern grass courts favour Shelton’s power and athleticism. Expect a strong response from the American after recent disappointments. Tipman Tips recommends backing Shelton on the game handicap line.

Jack Draper enters Wimbledon 2025 as one of Britain’s top hopes and gets what looks like a favourable draw against Sebastian Baez. The Argentine has never been comfortable on grass and arrives in poor form, having crashed out in the first round at Roland Garros after leading by two sets.

Last year, Baez lost by nine games to Nakashima despite a better run-in. This time, he faces a player with even more power and home support in Draper. The Tipman team expects a convincing win for the Brit, and the -8.5 game handicap reflects the potential for a one-sided affair.
