Wimbledon Day 8

Monday 4th July

Cristian Garin VS Alex De Minaur

Alex De Minaur is playing some terrific tennis right now and is enjoying the best grasscourt season of his career. De Minaur has a 3-0 head-to-head record over Garin and is yet to drop a set to him. These two players faced each other 2 weeks ago at Eastbourne with De Minaur cruising to victory 6-3 6-3. De Minaur has dropped only one set at Wimbledon so far against strong grass courter Jack Draper, while Garin has squeaked through by facing mostly clay-court specialists. We expect De Minaur to roll here and set up a potentially all-Australian quarterfinal.

Brandon Nakashima VS Nick Kyrgios

This looks to be a mismatch on the surface, however, Kyrgios is one of those players who always attract public money. Kyrgios had a big win in his last match which is making people think he will roll here, but in reality, Kyrgios can be inconsistent from both match to match and even game to game. Nakashima has a big serve and will push Kyrgios all the way here and the past has told us Kyrgios enjoys a bit of pressure in his matches. We expect to see a fun match and if we could bet it, wed take the over on code violations.

Botic Van de Zandschulp VS Rafael Nadal

Nadal looked simply sensational in his last match, however, his play outside of that match has been lacklustre to say the least. This may be Nadal building into the tournament or it may have just been a plus matchup for him. Vad de Zandschulp has broken out in the last year and is starting to play some brilliant tennis. Both players will enjoy playing a defensive style and we expect a long match here. The total is too low for this match so we will attack the over before it moves.

Alize Cornet VS Ajla Tomljanovic

This is going to be a great match that showcases a stronger tennis player in Tomljanovic against a veteran in Cornet who is enjoying some of the best tennis of her career right now. Cornet has victories over Kerber, Maria and Swiatek in her last 2 tournaments on grass and is really settling into a surface that hasn’t been kind to her over the years. Tomljanovic has the more powerful game here and will be able to push Cornet off the court with her groundstrokes, however its the error count that gets Tomljanovic unstuck. The over looks good here as this match sets up to go the distance.

Elena Rybakina VS Petra Martic

This is a terrific value play that has a narrative in this spot. In these two players’ six combined matches at Wimbledon so far, they have had at least one tiebreaker set in every match. Both ladies have beaten some strong opposition to get here and their comfort in winning tiebreaker sets increases the likelihood that they will see another one. Rybakina and Martic have met once before in a match-ending 7-6 7-6 so they are no strangers to seeing the tie breaks. This is a very particular market and not every book will carry it. If you cant get this market, we suggest taking an over 21.5, however it will be just the tiebreak bet on our records.

Men’s Day 8 Multi

We like both of these players to win at least one set as they have both been playing extremely well this tournament. If anything both of these players have the potential to win their matches outright against quality opposition. Kubler has played himself into form over the past few months and has taken a set off Fritz in their only previous match. Nakashima has the big serve and durability to trouble Kyrgios and sends the game long.
