So, competition has come to an end. It will be my final pick of this competition. I will choose the match between Bianca Andreescu and Elena Rybakina. First, I will tell you my tip, then I will explain the preview of the match and the reason behind picking the bet.
My betting pick Bianca Andreescu to win at 1.740 odds, which is available on Pinacle.
Quick preview: Bianca Andreescu brought herself to the start of Wimbledon in great shape. At the start of Wimbledon, Andreescu did not experience any problems in the match against Bektas (6:1, 6:3). Lets discuss about Elena Rybakina, her previous grass tournaments were so bad, only one victory. In the first round in Wimbeldon, she played with Coco Vandeweghe. Rybakina got victory but match was long 7:6, 7:5. 

Reason: Andreescu will win, she looked more solid and confident at grass tournaments. Rybakina finds difficulty at the first round in the game with Vandeweghe, Vandeweghe had many chances to take Elena's serve, but she did not use all the chances.

Chess ... yes chess lol 

Hikaru Nakamura vs Richard Rapport

Clearly Hikaru is a better player but the stats seem to say they are even, With 20 grand prix  points each and both defeated the top in their pool this match should be good (well as good as a chess game can be .... ) Really seems like this could be a tie but with the odds so far apart i think this will be a quick ez w for Hikaru, also he has alot more experience. 

ok so i dug a lil deeper and the last time they played it was a draw and the time before that Hikaru won so i feel that he figured out his game play now and both should change it up should be a w for Hikaru, also Hikaru just defeated one of his top rivals so hes on another level right now 

so im choosing Hikaru Nakamura for the win at 2.25 odds as quoted on pinnacle

Oh man, here’s another clash between two of the most unpredictable teams out there, Finest vs Bad News Eagles. They are known for making the weirdest plays and creating random upsets so… not only mine but everyone seems pretty split about this. Though, I do see a lot of fans out there spamming ‘EZ4FINEST’.

Finest:

This team has been doing quite decent in recent months with a winrate of 55%. Finest ranks 23rd in the world ranking and took off after winning the Pinnacle Cup 4. They were unable to perform up to expectations in the last tournament but seems to have recovered during the group stage of this current competition. They are an equal to BNE.

Bad News Eagles:

Bad News Eagles ranks 21st in the world ranking. There is not much to say about this team currently due to how they have not been seen much. Though, it is quite notable how this team outplayed forze.

MY PREDICTION:

Great teams, great at their own map. They are on equal standing so I’m expecting them to win at their own picks.

OVER 2.5 MAPS FOR 2.05

I will pick my prediction from match between Benjamin Bonzi and Jenson Brooksby.

Pick: Benjamin Bonzi to win at 1.657 odds in pinnacle.

Benjamin Bonzi showed a confident start at Wimbledon. In the first round he easily defeat Zdenek Colar in three sets. I remind you that Bonzi showed a good result on the courts of earlier grass tournaments. At those competitions, Benjamin managed to reach the semifinal stage of the tournament, in which he lost to Stefanos. Jenson Brooksby's start on the London turned out to be quite good. In the first round, he met with Mikhail Kukushkin and managed to beat him in three sets.

Picking Bonzi as he is having a wonderful season. He feels especially good on a fast surface. Brooksby is also good but on clay and hard courts. He has less experiece in grass court.

Match is still running. But it will end in draw. Unfortunately. 

I am chess lover btw, you should have bet on draw because both are too defensive players. Hard luck @steveo. If you won today's pick you would have got first position. 😞
