Arthur Rinderknech vs Novak Djokovic Betting Picks & Live Stream – Expect a Closer Contest Than the Odds Suggest at Wimbledon
- Djokovic back in form but rarely cruises through matches now
- Rinderknech’s big serve could keep things close on grass
- Djokovic is favored to win, but handicap bets on Rinderknech appeal

Novak Djokovic recorded his first straight-sets victory since the Australian Open by defeating an out-of-form Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round of Wimbledon. While that was an encouraging result, it also highlights how rarely he has been able to dominate opponents in recent months. Age, limited match play, and a slight decline in consistency have made it increasingly difficult for the Serbian to cruise through matches as he once did.
Arthur Rinderknech has the serve and attacking game to make life uncomfortable on grass, particularly if he serves well. Although upsetting Djokovic over five sets remains a tall order, the Frenchman has enough weapons to keep at least one set highly competitive.
Rinderknech Faces His Biggest Opportunity
- Rinderknech holds a 1–2 record in Wimbledon third-round matches.
- He owns a 3–21 career record against Top 10 players.
- Djokovic has a 17–2 record in Wimbledon third-round matches.
- He holds an 18–3 record against players outside the Top 50.
HTH
This will be their first meeting.
Rinderknech Finds Grass-Court Rhythm
Arthur Rinderknech reached the third round after defeating Martin Damm 6-4, 7-6, 6-3, a much-improved performance compared to his hard-fought opening-round victory over Oliver Tarvet.
With this run, the Frenchman has matched his best result at Wimbledon, which he first achieved in 2025. On that occasion, he survived back-to-back five-set battles against Alexander Zverev and Cristian Garin before losing to Kamil Majchrzak in straight sets.
Rinderknech has struggled to put together deep runs on the ATP Tour this season. Before this week, he had registered multiple main-draw wins only twice, reaching the quarterfinals in Dubai and Geneva.
Rinderknech heads into this clash with a 1-2 career record in third-round matches at Grand Slams. His only victory at this stage came during his run to the fourth round at the 2025 US Open, and he will now be aiming to reach the second week of a major for the second time.

Djokovic Rediscovers Top Form
Novak Djokovic began his campaign with a hard-fought 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Wu Yibing before producing a vintage display to defeat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 and reach the third round.
The Serbian will be encouraged by his level after arriving at Wimbledon following a disappointing clay swing. He suffered an early exit in Rome and was knocked out in the third round at Roland Garros after letting a two-set lead slip against Joao Fonseca.
Despite injury setbacks during the early part of the season, Djokovic has still produced notable results, finishing runner-up at the Australian Open and reaching the fourth round at Indian Wells. He is now looking to build on his improving form on grass.
Djokovic owns a 17-2 career record in third-round matches at Wimbledon, with his only defeats at this stage coming in 2005 and 2016. He has reached at least the semifinals in each of his last seven appearances at the Championships.

Verdict
Djokovic should still have the experience and quality to progress, but another routine victory is far from guaranteed. Backing Rinderknech to cover the +1.5 sets handicap, Rinderknech to cover the +6.5 games handicap, and a tiebreak to be played are the selections that best fit the expected pattern of the match.
