Wimbledon final starts in an hour and Djokovic is the overwhelming favorite. He has beaten his opponent, Kevin Anderson, 5 times out of their last 5 meetings. Apart from their last meeting in 2015, Kevin Anderson hasn't even won a set against Djokovic.
This probably explains why Djokovic starts off as the overwhelming favorite for this match with odds of him to win in the 1.1x range. I think that's a little unfair to Anderson who is playing the best tennis of his career and whose game suits the fast grass surface of Wimbledon.
The wild-card of the game is just how tired both players will be. Anderson has an extra day's rest but his semi-final against Isner was a lot more grueling. Overall, i think it evens out.
Kevin Anderson +2.5 sets @ 1.71 looks like a decent bet to me. Overall, i think Djokovic will win but Anderson should be good for at least a set or two.
