Wimbledon today – Matches from 02.07.
Matchday two at Wimbledon. There is only one German star in the men’s draw, Zverev. The world number four will be up against Roberto Carballes Baena. He is the heavy favorite against the Spaniard, who has only won every third match in his career on grass.
Angelique Kerber, the 2018 Wimbledon winner, will have a much tougher time. She is returning to Wimbledon for the first time since 2022 following her maternity leave and will face Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva, who is in top grass court form after winning the tournament in Birmingham
I’m focusing on these two German matches in today’s Wimbledon tips. I also take a look at Novak Djokovic’s match. How fit is he really after his operation? Background: He had to pull out of the French Open due to injury.
The Serb starts against Vit Kopriva, the 123rd player in the world, who successfully fought his way through qualifying, but will be playing his seventh grass court match against Djokovic. As with Zverev, Djokovic’s match is just a question of how high he can win
Wimbledon today – 02.07.2024
The choice of tennis matches on the first few days of the Wimbledon tournament is huge. And then there’s always Euro 2024 with the last two round of 16 matches on Tuesday evening. There’s definitely no shortage of betting opportunities!
In addition to Djokovic, another player from the legendary “Big Four” will also be on court. While Roger Federer has ended his career and Rafael Nadal is skipping the last grass court season, Andy Murray will probably be playing the biggest tennis tournament of the year for the last time.
The two-time Wimbledon champion from 2013 and 2016 will play Tomas Machac on Tuesday. A tough task for the 37-year-old, who has long since lost touch with his glory days. The Scot is now ranked 113th in the world.
The bookmakers expect the tennis icon to lose to Machac in the first round. Andrey Rublev, “Mr. Quarter-final”, completes today’s tennis tips overview. He has reached the last eight at a Grand Slam tournament ten times, but has not yet made it to the last eight at a major. Rublev starts against Francisco Comesana

Wimbledon today 02.07.: Carballes Baena – Zverev (15:15)
In Madrid 2023, Carballes Baena and Zverev have played their only duel so far. The German came out on top after a tough battle. The difference to today: Zverev is now in much stronger form. In the first match, he still had little match practice after his serious ligament injury.
What’s more, Zverev is the much better grass court player, whereas Carballes Baena is a specialist on red clay. He was also unable to make a lasting impression during his Wimbledon preparations on Mallorca. I expect a difference in class.
My expert tip: 3:0 Zverev & No tiebreak
Wimbledon betting today 02.07.: Putintseva – Kerber (15:15)
Not a grateful draw for the 2018 Wimbledon winner. Kerber has to play Putintseva. The Kazakh is ranked 35th in the world and has already managed to annoy one or two big names with her wit. What’s more, she took the title in Birmingham, dropping just one set in the process.
Kerber’s form, on the other hand, is mixed. She has impressed at individual tournaments, but is currently on a run of four losses. She lost in the first round in both Berlin and Bad Homburg. This will be a tough one for the 36-year-old.
My expert tip: Victory Putintseva
Tennis betting today 02.07.: Murray – Machac (17:45)
Murray is another ex-champion who is likely to have a tough time at Wimbledon. His opponent Machac goes into the match as the favorite, yet he has a poor winning record and has only played eleven matches on grass in his career. He only played in Halle in 2024, losing directly in two sets to Arthur Fils.
Overall, however, the 23-year-old Machac is having a strong year, is ranked 39th and beat Novak Djokovic in Geneva. Murray and Machac have already met twice this year, both times with the Czech triumphing, who I, like the bookmakers, see ahead against an out-of-form Murray.
My expert tip: Victory Machac (-1.5 set HC)
Tennis betting today 02.07.: Kopriva – Djokovic (15:45)
The world is eagerly awaiting Djokovic’s first match after he was forced to retire from the French Open due to meniscus problems. In London, he starts against the qualifier Kopriva. Unsurprisingly, the man who has won the tournament seven times is the clear favorite.
Due to his lack of match practice, the 3.25 for the underdog, who had a strong qualifying campaign, to win the set is not a bad option for me at Betano. Especially as the odds can also be taken without a deposit, thanks to the free bet of 20 euros that new customers receive after verification. A great offer from the official betting partner of Euro 2024.
My expert tip: Set win Kopriva
Wimbledon today 02.07.: Rublev – Comesana (13:15)
The fact that it is also possible to qualify for Wimbledon through strong performances in Challenger tournaments is shown by Comesana, who has repeatedly gone far in smaller tournaments and has managed to earn enough points for the main draw.
The Argentinian, who competes almost exclusively on clay, played his first grass court match in Eastbourne last week and failed to qualify. Rublev is also 0/1 after his Halle defeat to Marcos Giron, but is clearly the better player, has reached the final twice in Halle and the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 2023. I expect clear set wins.
My expert tip: No tiebreak
