Surface conditions at Wimbledon—grass favors aggressive play—also matter: a wet forecast could theoretically help Mertens hold serve longer.
This is a two-player matchup with clear form asymmetry. The price is a fair read of that gap, not a misjudgment. It will move on injury news, draw-seeding shifts, or warm-up results in the week before 11 July 2026. Until then, 95% remains all but certain precisely because Rybakina is playing well and holds the advantage.
