Omaha Mavericks vs North Dakota Fighting Hawks NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 1/2/25

<p>There will be some great tennis action taking place throughout the world this weekend, but all eyes will be on Paris. Tennis is set to be played at the Summer Olympics, and there will be many different formats of tennis that will be played.&nbsp;</p>



<p>When looking for the best tennis odds this weekend, checking out the men’s and women’s single title odds will be the best way to go. There will be some great odds out there for each sport, and a couple of big names stand out right away.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at both the men’s and women’s side of things that are set for the great Olympics action.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Men’s Tennis Odds</h2>



<p>There are some big names in the sport of men’s tennis, and all of the biggest names are going to be getting ready to play in Paris. When it comes to the men’s tennis <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betdsi/">odds</a>, Carlos Alcaraz is the current betting favorite at -149 to come away with a win this weekend. </p>



<p>Novak Djokovic continues to be one of the best players in this sport, and he is sitting at +280 to come away with a win at the Summer Olympics. There is a big gap in the odds at the Paris Olympics, but Alexander Zverev is sitting at +560 to win the gold medal.</p>



<p>Those are really going to be the three top names to watch, but there could always be some upsets that take place. Every athlete will be pushing their hardest to win a medal of some kind, and none of the players will want to suffer a defeat early in this competition.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betdsi/">Start your sportsbook with BetDSI today</a></h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Women’s Tennis Odds</h2>



<p>There is an even bigger <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betdsi/">betting</a> favorite on the women’s side of things as Iga Swiatek is coming into this event at -202 to get the win. She is a big name in the sport of women’s tennis, but she hasn’t always had a ton of success this season. </p>



<p>American Coco Gauff is another name to watch as she is one of the top athletes from the United States. Gauff is coming into this match with odds set at +600 to win the gold medal, and she is good enough to get it done in Paris.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Naomi Osaka currently has odds set at +1600, and she is another athlete that has proven that she can win some big tennis tournaments. There aren’t a ton of other names to watch in Paris, but that could always change as the action unfolds.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Players to Back</h2>



<p>The medals at the Paris Olympics won’t be handed out until the end of the event, but the tennis action is going to get going this weekend. Now is the perfect time to start making those wagers as this is when you can really cash in on the odds that are set.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Alcaraz might be the betting favorite to win the gold at the Paris Olympics, but it will be Novak Djokovic that gets it done on the men’s side of things. The betting favorite will win the women’s gold medal as Iga Swiatek is going to avoid upsets throughout this event.</p>

Olympics Tennis Set to Begin

<p>The 2024 Wimbledon Championships have been anything but predictable. Top seeds in the men's and women's draws, Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek, were eliminated by the quarter-finals. It has still been a good tournament for Italy, however, as seventh seed Jasmine Paolini is into her second consecutive grand slam final and 22-year-old Lorenzeo Musetti is up against Novak Djokovic in the men's semi-finals. Let's take a look at the three remaining matches in the tournament.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ATP Wimbledon Semi-Finals</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Daniil Medvedev (<a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betus/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">+260</a>) vs. Carlos Alcaraz (-360)</h3>



<p>Daniil Medvedev is looking to reach his second grand slam final this season, but he faces a tough task against world No. 3 and defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz. Medvedev was runner-up at the Australian Open, losing to Sinner in five sets after taking a 2-0 lead, and got his revenge over the world No. 1 in the Wimbledon quarter-finals. Alcaraz has had to grind for his wins over the last two weeks, most notably against Frances Tiafoe, who took him to five sets in the third round.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Medvedev is 2-4 in his career against Alcaraz and 1-1 at Wimbledon. Both of their matches at the All England Club were decided in straight sets, but I wouldn't expect a repeat performance on Friday. They've both played multiple four and five set matches already and Medvedev should be playing free and loose now that he finally beat Sinner, to whom he had lost five consecutive matches beforehand. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betus/">Sign up with Bet US for your SportsBook Bonus</a></h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Novak Djokovic (-952) vs. Lorenzo Musetti (+540)</h3>



<p>Musetti is a major underdog against Novak Djokovic, but he does have a victory over the former world No. 1 and eight-time Wimbledon winner. Djokovic hadn't played in a month prior to the start of the tournament and had concerns about his health due to a torn meniscus in his right knee. He hasn't had any issues and should be well rested after getting a walkover win in the quarters against Alex de Minaur.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This has potential to be Djokovic's easiest path to a grand slam final, especially since Musetti had never been past the fourth round at any grand slam before this week. However, the Italian beat Djokovic in three sets at the 2023 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters and has twice taken him to five sets at the French Open.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WTA Wimbledon Final</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Barbora Krejcikova (-140) vs. Jasmine Paolini (+120)</h3>



<p>In an unlikely women's final, world No. 32 Barbora Krejcikova takes on seventh-ranked Paolini, who is the first Italian woman to play in a final at the All England Club. Krejcikova is a former world No. 2 and one-time grand slam winner who has dealt with a debilitating back injury this year but has looked great at Wimbledon, recently earning a three-set win over Elena Rybakina. Paolini beat Donna Vekic in the semis.</p>



<p>There's <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betus/">good upset potential</a> here as Paolini is being undervalued. She is 30-12 this season and is into her second straight grand slam final, while Krejcikova was just 7-9 coming into Wimbledon.</p>
