Prop Bets: Elsa Jacquemot VS Magda Linette 2025-07-01
Wimbledon Woes: Can Elsa Jacquemot Avoid a "Gracheva-esque Meltdown"?
The French tennis faithful are clinging to hope like a lukewarm croissant, and poor Elsa Jacquemot is their last crusty crumb. After Varvara Gracheva’s three-hour, heart-attack-inducing Wimbledon exit (thanks, Belarus!), all eyes turn to Jacquemot to keep the Gallic flag flying. But she’s facing Magda Linette, a player who looks at spreads like a math problem and thinks, “I’ll take the -2.5, please.”
The Odds Say…
- Magda Linette is the favorite in every bookie’s playbook, with decimal odds hovering around 1.6–1.65 (implied probability: ~62–65%).
- Elsa Jacquemot is the underdog at 2.25–2.4 (implied probability: ~42–45%), which is about the same chance of correctly guessing your Uber Eats order number blindfolded.
- The spread? Linette’s getting -1.5 to -2.5 games, depending on who’s running the numbers. She’s basically being handed a 24-inch head start in a 100-meter dash.
- Totals: The game is pegged at 22.5 games (Over/Under). Let’s hope Jacquemot doesn’t make this a 24-hour endurance test like Gracheva’s match.
Player Props?
No flashy props here—just the standard “will Linette’s serve finally hit a double fault?” bet. But if you’re feeling spicy, back Linette to cover the spread. She’s basically a tennis robot with a -2.5 handicap.
Prediction
Jacquemot’s got heart, but Linette’s got math on her side. Expect a straight-sets victory for the Polish machine, though Jacquemot might steal a few games just to keep the crowd from dozing off. If you’re betting, take Linette at -2.5 unless you fancy a French comeback that ends with her clutching her knees and whispering, “Not again…”
Final Score Prediction: Magda Linette 6-3, 6-2.
Why? Because even underdogs need a nap, and Jacquemot’s already had one after qualifying.
Note: Implied probabilities calculated via decimal odds (1 / decimal odds * 100). Spread totals reflect -2.5 for Linette across most books.
