Tennis DFS Tournament Picks, Best Bets, and Pick ‘Em Plays for Wimbledon

DFS Play #1 – Ben Shelton: $8,900

We’re starting with an American who has been inconsistent on grass throughout his career. He’s only played 9 matches on grass in his career and has only won 3 of them. While not ideal, there’s a big talent gap between him and Mattia Bellucci. For starters, Shelton is ranked 14th in the world, while Bellucci is ranked 150th. Shelton earned an automatic spot into Wimbledon, while Bellucci had to win 3 qualifier matches to get into the event. I prefer to use Elo ratings over world rankings when it comes to assessing talent, and Shelton is well ahead of Bellucci in overall Elo, yearly Elo, and grass Elo. Shelton is also a good play for DFS, as he boasts an 11.2% ace rate on his serve.

DFS Play #2 – Alexander Bublik: $8,800

Bublik is only 2-3 on grass this year, which has been a disappointment. However, he’s run into some quality opponents in Christopher Eubanks (made a run at Wimbledon last year), Aleksandar Vukic, and Lorenzo Musetti. I’m not overly concerned, as he was 9-2 on grass last year. Overall, it’s been a solid year for Bublik, who captured an ATP title at the Open Sud de France. Much like Shelton, Bublik is well ahead of his opponent (Jakub Mensik) in all of the Elo ratings — overall, yearly, and surface type. He’s a sizable favorite, he’s affordable, and he has a 4.3% difference between his ace rate and double fault rate in 2024.

Bet #1 – Mariano Navone +7.5 games (-110)

I had to double check my model a few times on this one because it has Navone and Lorenzo Sonego projected fairly close. The latter certainly has the edge when it comes to experience playing on grass, but he has not had a good year. He’s 14-21 overall and 4-6 on grass. He has dropped all the way down to 57th in the world rankings, while Navone is on an opposite trajectory. He’s already been to 4 ATP finals and picked up a title in Calgary. The concern here is that Navone is a clay specialist. He’s 0-2 on hard courts and 0-3 on grass courts over the last two years. Based on recent form, the +7.5 games against a struggling player screams value.

Bet #2 – Tallon Griekspoor Set 1 Winner (-330)

When projecting tennis, I like using a rating system and then comparing how each player rates against their opponents. Of the 64 matches on Monday (men’s and women’s), Griekspoor had the second biggest gap between his rating and his opponent’s rating. I don’t see any value in the -900 number on the full match, but I do like the -330 on the first set. Griekspoor is 27th in the world rankings, he rates out extremely well in all of the Elo ratings, and he’s 10-4 on grass over the last two years. His opponent (Pablo Carreno-Busta) hasn’t played much tennis recently. He’s only 3-9 this year and is 0-1 on grass over the last two years. I like Griekspoor to get off to a good start and win the first set.

Pick ‘Em – Casper Ruud more than 24.5 fantasy points

If you are playing on PrizePicks or any of the pick ‘em sites, it’s important to understand their scoring systems. For this particular pick, I am looking at PrizePicks, where you get points for games won, sets won, and aces. You lose points for games lost, sets lost, and double faults. While Alex Bolt has as much experience on grass this year (18-2) as nearly anyone in the tournament, he hasn’t been playing against the best competition. Ruud is one of the best players in the world (currently ranked 8th) and has plenty of experience in majors. He also has a 4.1% difference between his ace rate and double fault rate. I don’t expect him to have much trouble against Bolt.
