Flavio Cobolli: How Did They Get Here
Cobolli won in the first round over Beibit Zhukayev, 6-3, 7-6, 6-1, and he followed that up with a 6-1, 7-6, 6-2 victory over Jack Pinnington Jones in Round 2.
Not only has Cobolli won in straight sets, but he’s doing it with a pretty wide gap in games won, going +10 in Round 2 and +9 in Round 1.
He has made one other singles appearance at Wimbledon, reaching the second round in 2024.
Jakub Mensik: How Did They Get Here
This is Mensik’s second appearance at Wimbledon, and it’s gone much better than last year did when he was knocked out in the first round.
Mensik defeated Hugo Gaston in four sets in Round 1 and Marcos Giron in four sets in Round 2 to advance to Round 3. He’s made three third-round appearances at Grand Slams in his career, but he’s never made it further than that.
Flavio Cobolli vs. Jakub Mensik What the Odds Say and Prediction
Based on the latest odds at DraftKings with Mensik as the favorite, the 19-year-old has an implied probability of 64.29 percent to advance to the fourth round.
However, I’m not buying him to do so.
Cobolli feels a little undervalued in this round, as he’s dominated so far at Wimbledon and has made it through to at least the second round twice in his career.
While neither of these players has made a massive run at a major, Cobolli has won four sets where he’s dropped three or fewer games. He currently looks to be in slightly better form, and I’d likely set this line closer to a pick’em on Saturday.
Mensik is the bigger and higher-rated player, but as the rounds go on at Wimbledon, big servers don’t have as much of an advantage on the grass.
I’ll take a shot on the underdog in this third-round matchup.
Pick: Cobolli Moneyline (+140 at DraftKings)
