The second round of Wimbledon begins on Wednesday with Novak Djokovic vs. Stefanos Tsistipas standing out as the marquee matchup of the day.
However, there's still value elsewhere on the schedule of play, especially in the Daniel Merida vs. Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner vs. Nuno Borges matches.

Merida advanced to Round 2 thanks to great luck, as his opponent in the opening match — Camilo Ugo Carabelli — was forced to retire due to an injury.
Merida was extremely average in that match. He clearly gave up the first two sets, and his serve wasn't a strong suit as he allowed five breaks. He's not a strong grass court player in general, which was also seen recently at Queen's when he lost 3-6 2-6 to Martin Damm.
Meanwhile, Medvedev is a much stronger grass court player because of his flat shots. He's very solid on the return, and on Wednesday, I expect him to break with great ease.
In the first round, Medvedev passed through Marin Cilic in straight sets, so I expect another clear victory on Wednesday.
Back the under.
Pick: Under 30.5 Games

| Over/Under | 30.5 (-115o / -125u) |

It's been a tough couple of months for Sinner. After losing to Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round of the French Open, the Italian underwent multiple cardiac and metabolic medical tests to figure out why his body shut down in the match.
He didn't compete in any grass court events and barely edged out Miomir Kecmanovic (five sets) in the first round of Wimbledon.
Based on Sinner's current form, you would think Borges could be somewhat competitive in this match, especially since he's coming off a semifinal appearance in Mallorca and a straight-set victory in Round 1 against Tristan Boyer.
However, I think this is a classic bounce back spot for Sinner. Remember, the duel vs. Kecmanovic was his first grass court match of the season, and he'll have a lot of self confidence after coming back down two sets to one.
Ultimately, I expect the Italian to settle into the tournament, get his feet under him and cruise past Borges on the way to the third round. That first round match will soon become a blip on the radar, as Sinner will flex his ball striking and large talent gap against Borges.
Pick: Under 30.5 Games
