Wawrinka vs Opelka Betting Tip
Reilly Opelka could be a very dangerous rival on the grass court thanks to his rocket serve and strong forehand, so Stan Wawrinka could be in trouble. On the other side, if Wawrinka serves well and stays focused on a return, he will win this battle.
Stan is a more versatile player than Opelka, so taking Wawrinka to cover a 1.5-set handicap at 4/7 odds with Betfair should be the best bet. If you are looking for greater wages, I suggest you take the over on total games at 10/11 with Betway.
