Wimbledon 2025: Taylor Fritz vs. Jordan Thompson – A Grass-Court Farce?
Taylor Fritz, the 5th seed and a grass-court wizard with a 92% win rate on this surface (because Wimbledon is just a casual day at the office for him), is favored to stomp Jordan Thompson like a tennis-themed Stepford spouse. Fritz has won 21 straight matches on grass this year (8-1 overall, because "dominance" is his middle name), slicing through Zverev, Fucsovics, and even the ghost of "Anyone Not Named Taylor Fritz" in straight sets. Thompson, meanwhile, is a solid 59% on grass, but let’s be real—Fritz’s grass game is so elite, he probably practices on lawn mowers.
The Odds?
- Moneyline: Fritz is a -880 favorite (decimal 1.15), implying he’ll win 86.9% of the time. Thompson is +550 (decimal 5.5), suggesting bookmakers think he’ll win 18.2%. Math checks out.
- Spread: Fritz is -5.5 games favorite (odds 1.8-1.94), while Thompson is +5.5 (1.87-1.95). If you’re into masochism, take Thompson +5.5. If you’re sane, back Fritz and prepare for a cakewalk.
- Total Games: The line hovers around 37.5-38.5 games. Given Fritz’s efficiency, the Under is a lock unless Thompson decides to dig a time portal to the 1970s and play like a lovable rogue.
Why Bet on Thompson?
Only if you’ve forgotten what "value" means. His lone win over Fritz came in 2024 (HSBC Championships), but Fritz has since upgraded his grass game to "unstoppable." Thompson’s 3/5 recent form is decent, but Fritz’s 7-match win streak includes dismantling Davidovich Fokina like he’s a broken tennis racket.
Player Prop?
- Fritz’s First Serve Percentage: He’s averaging 68% this tournament. Bet the Over if you think he’ll flex more.
- Thompson’s Aces: He’s averaging 7 per match. Take the Under if you think Fritz will make him forget how to serve.
Prediction:
Fritz will win in straight sets, likely by 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, because Wimbledon is just another Tuesday for him. Thompson’s best bet is to grab a hat and pretend this is a practice match. Take Fritz -5.5 unless you fancy a trip to the off-track betting parlor of despair.
Final Score Prediction: Fritz 3-0 Thompson (6-2, 6-3, 6-4). 🎾✨
