Wimbledon 2025 Day 1 Predictions: Top Picks, Best Bets & Key Matchups
Wimbledon 2025 serves up its opening action on Monday, June 30, with defending men’s champion Carlos Alcaraz returning to Centre Court. Alcaraz begins his title defense after defeating Novak Djokovic in last year’s thrilling final, marking their second consecutive clash at the All England Club.
Also headlining Day 1 are top WTA stars Aryna Sabalenka, Madison Keys, and Emma Raducanu. As the tournament begins, we’re breaking down the best Wimbledon bets for Day 1, including predictions on men’s and women’s singles—featuring live underdogs with +10000 and +5000 odds.
💰 Wimbledon Parlay of the Day
Learner Tien ML over Nishesh Basavareddy + Gabriel Diallo ML over Daniel Altmaier (-108)
Rising American star Learner Tien faces compatriot Nishesh Basavareddy in a promising all-American showdown. Tien leads their H2H 2-0, including a commanding 6-2, 6-4 win at the Knoxville Challenger. Tien also recently upset Ben Shelton en route to a Mallorca quarterfinal, while Basavareddy was easily ousted in the first round.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Diallo is making waves on the ATP Tour. With an 8-2 grass record and a title in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Canadian has cracked the Top 50. His opponent, Daniel Altmaier, is a clay-court specialist who struggles on grass (9–16 career record), giving Diallo the clear edge.
🎯 Best Straight Bet
Matteo Arnaldi ML over Botic van de Zandschulp (-125)
After high-profile wins in 2024—including stunning Alcaraz at the US Open—van de Zandschulp has fallen off in 2025. Sitting at just 10-16 this season (and 4-10 on tour-level courts), his grass record remains underwhelming. Italian Matteo Arnaldi, ranked 43rd (vs. BVDZ’s 91), has the consistency to take advantage.
🔥 Wimbledon Women’s Pick
Olga Danilovic ML over Shuai Zhang (-130)
Veteran Shuai Zhang is just 6-20 lifetime in Wimbledon main draws and has gone winless on grass since 2022. Despite qualifying, her competition was light. Danilovic, 12 years younger and ranked #39, brings power and recent grass-court form—taking Naomi Osaka to two tiebreaks last week in Bad Homburg.
