### Why Bonzi?
1. Recent Form: Beat a top-10 player in brutal conditions. Confidence is a weapon on grass.
2. Grass-Court Expertise: Bonzi’s strategy against Medvedev (serve pressure, varied pace) translates well to grass.
3. Thompson’s Weakness: Thompson’s 2-4 grass record and recent loss to Musetti suggest he’s not a threat to Bonzi’s rhythm.

Bonus Spread Play: Bonzi -3.5 at 1.87. If you think he’ll win comfortably (he did in four sets against Medvedev), this line offers value.

### Final Verdict

Why Not Thompson?: The market overestimates his chances by 8.46%—a classic “grass-court fairy tale” trap.
