Dutchmen know their opponent at Wimbledon

This week the main tournament of the prestigious Wimbledon will start. The 135th edition of Wimbledon will of course take place in London on the famous grass of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

This year four Dutchmen will play in the first round of Wimbledon. Tim van Rijthoven will make his debut on the hallowed English grass, while Tallon Griekspoor, Botic van de Zandschulp and Arantxa Rus will also come into action, reported https://cricket360.bet/free-bets-in-india/.

Van de Zandschulp meets tough opponent

Botic van de Zandschulp is seeded 21st at Wimbledon and could easily go far in the tournament. However, the Dutchman will have to deal with the experienced Feliciano Lopez in the first round. The 40-year-old Spaniard will be participating in Wimbledon for the 20th time and has reached the quarterfinals three times before. Van de Zandschulp and Lopez have never met before. The Spaniard is currently ranked 240th in the world rankings. Lopez has been slipping away and is having more and more trouble winning his matches. Recently Lopez went down in two sets against Tallon Griekspoor (7-6, 7-6). Below are the odds for betting on tennis.

The 35-year-old tennis player does not have good memories of his last encounter with the Dutchman. Griekspoor won 3-0 over Fognini at the Australian Open.

Van Rijthoven against Delbonis

Tim van Rijthoven pulled off a huge stunt by winning the Libéma Open and therefore received a wildcard for Wimbledon. The current number 104 of the world meets Federico Delbonis. The Argentinean is 84th on the ATP-ranking and is anything but a grass specialist. Delbonis played only one grass match in preparation and went down 2-0 against Bellier. Van Rijthoven won his last five matches and recently managed to win the final of the Libéma Open 2-0 over current number one Medvedev. Delbonis played five times before at Wimbledon and always got eliminated in the first round.
