Gabriel Diallo also gets his tournament started on Monday against Daniel Altmaier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my top Wimbledon predictions for the June 30 tennis matches, featuring a pick on Leylah Fernandez vs. Hannah Klugman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wimbledon predictions: June 30<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Auger Aliassime -5.5 games (+107)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Auger-Aliassime is having a roller coaster of a season, and he&#8217;s currently making a climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian went 5-3 on grass in preparation for Wimbledon and advanced past the first round in all three of the events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He lost to some quality opponents, but the good news for this matchup is that he&#8217;s comfortably taken care of lower-seeded players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That brings me to Duckworth, who is currently ranked No. 106 in the world. He&#8217;s 5-4 on grass, and he hasn&#8217;t beaten a top 50 player this year on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, he&#8217;s been crushed by Auger-Aliassime in their career meetings. FAA is only getting better, while Duckworth is on the decline at 33 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> In two meetings since the start of 2020, Auger-Aliassime is 2-0 vs. Duckworth, winning all five sets. The Canadian covered this line in their one career Grand Slam matchup (6-4, 6-1, 6-2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/event\/1024100988\">Full tennis betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diallo Wimbledon prediction vs. Altmaier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Diallo under 21.5 games won (-122):<\/strong> The 23-year-old from Montreal is shaping into a very good player on grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s 8-2 on the surface this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He won his first-ever ATP singles title on grass at the Libema Open in June.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t have the best history against Altmaier, losing both matches, but they&#8217;ve never played on grass. I predict that to be a huge factor in this chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s because it&#8217;s easily the German&#8217;s worst playing surface. He&#8217;s never finished a season with a win rate above 50% on grass and holds a 9-16 career record on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altmaier has won more than 53% of his matches on every other surface, so it&#8217;s a clear weakness for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect Diallo to use his long, powerful frame to push a pace early that his opponent won&#8217;t be able to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian has held 91.2% of his service points on grass this season. This is a good way of backing Diallo to win in straight sets with three games of insurance to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best bet for Fernandez vs. Klugman<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fernandez\/Klugman under 18.5 games (+106)<\/strong>: Of all the Canadians on the women&#8217;s side, Fernandez got the best draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her 16-year-old counterpart will be a great player one day, but she isn&#8217;t ready for Wimbledon yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Klugman went 6-3 on clay this season, but her 0-2 start on grass has followed a familiarly bad trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her short career, the English tennis player is 4-12 on the surface. She does her best work on the red dirt but also has a winning record on all other court types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of Klugman&#8217;s matches on grass were played on the WTA tour, so it&#8217;s comparable competition to what Fernandez will provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She managed to win just 10 games across those two matches, with both going under this total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fernandez is coming off a competitive outing (7-6, 7-6) against Jasmine Paolini (No. 4). She fell short in the matchup but looks to be in good form heading into London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wimbledon predictions made at 12:56 p.m. on 06\/28\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three popular Canadian tennis players are in action in the first round at Wimbledon on Monday.
