Wimbledon Day 4: Kypson props and Berrettini-Fils ace bet
DIRECT ANSWER: On Wimbledon second-round Thursday, July 2, Action Network expert Tudor Cosma targets prop bets in Taylor Fritz vs Patrick Kypson and Matteo Berrettini vs Arthur Fils—not outright winners.

The second round at Wimbledon continues Thursday with multiple matches that offer betting value, according to Action Network. Cosma highlights an all-American clash between Fritz and Kypson plus Berrettini against Fils.

Why is Kypson tennis betting focused on double faults, not the moneyline?
Action Network lists Taylor Fritz at -3100 and Patrick Kypson at +1080, with the game total at 33.5 (-120 over / -120 under) via DraftKings. Fritz is framed as one of the best grass-court players in the world, coming off a Halle final loss to Frances Tiafoe where he did not commit a single double fault. In Wimbledon's first round, he again recorded zero double faults against lucky loser Dusan Lajovic.
Kypson is described as an interesting talent with a strong serve but recurring second-serve problems. Cosma notes he recently hit five double faults against Aleksandar Vukic and four against Mackenzie McDonald in a four-set match. Because the Kypson 5+ double faults prop is not widely available, the expert takes that angle at +125 with bet365 rather than backing the heavy underdog on the moneyline.
What do the Berrettini vs Fils odds suggest for Thursday's match?
DraftKings prices cited by Action Network show Matteo Berrettini at +175 and Arthur Fils at +226, with an over/under of 40.5 games (-115 over / -125 under). Berrettini arrives after a four-set first-round win over Stan Wawrinka that featured four tiebreaks. The Italian has won Queen's twice and reached the Wimbledon final, and Cosma writes that he looks healthy enough to take at least one set—and possibly the match outright.
Fils has dealt with health problems this season but dominated Raphael Collignon in straight sets in round one, serving eight aces in a short match. On clay against Emilio Nava he managed three aces. Cosma expects a long contest of four or five sets, giving Fils ample serve opportunities to clear 7.5 aces at +105 on DraftKings.
How can fans watch Fritz vs Kypson and Berrettini vs Fils on July 2?
