Tom Jomby to beat Tom Fawcett at 2.75 with bet365
I'm having trouble seeing Tom Jomby going out after he's clinically sent out Reilly Opelka. This Winnetka challenger is full of upsets but having Jomby as underdog to wild card Tom Fawcett is something I can't understand. 27 year old Tom Jomby playing at protected ranking with current ranking 501 and career high 337 achieved 2015 meets Tom Fawcett 22 year old wild card ranked 764 and career high 725 achieved in april this season after a successfull winter. With semifinal in Calabasas F8 futures losing to Marcos Giron and before that qualifying for Newport challenger after beating Jason Jung, Chris Eubanks and Marcos Giron and at the time Eubanks were ranked 323 and Jung 235. Now both are or have been top 200 since Eubanks have fallen a few spots off his career high 183. But even though Fawcett has been on the move this season I have to try a bet on Jomby. Also Fawcett is coached by experienced former ATP player Paul Goldstein with 11 hardcourt challenger titles and career high 65 in 2006 and 85 wins and 115 loses on the regular tour.

John Isner to beat Milos Raonic at 2.20 with bet365
Big John in 3 thank you very mutch. Milos stands no chance with his current form. He's dropped serve 3 times so far and is very unblanced in terms of being clinical in situations where he should be winning points easily. Big John is having his best season ever and it's only gonna get better with a possible ATP Finals appearance. That confidence he's gathered during the season can carry him big time in this match.

ATP Challenger Winnetka - R16
Tommy Paul is playing only his second tournament after coming back from injury. Two weeks ago he played in Winston-Salem futures, where he lost in the Finals against Michael Redlicki. He beat some unknown players, so it is hard to judge his form. King is in quite bad form, but the truth is that he played on clay and grass in last few months. Paul beat Smyczek in R1 on Monday, but he again needed some treatment on his right elbow (the same injury that put him away for six months this year). Tommy Paul collapsed on court after the end of the match and was down on the ground for several minutes.
I recomend 2/10 bet on Evan King @ 2.82 Pinnacle
ATP Wimbledon QF. Isner vs. Raonic
I am going with Isner and over here. Both are big servers with limited return game. Raonic was broken 3 times so far in Wimbledon, while Isner did not lose his serve at all. This is best Wimbledon tournament for Isner. Before this year he never passed third round and now he is in Quarter-Finals. Conditions do have some role in this, as this year we have very hot conditions and very little rain, which made surface a bit harder and balls are jumping a bit higher and those conditions are much better for Isner. They have met 4 times, with Isner leading 3-1 in H2H. Last two matches between them ended with tie break in all sets with only 5 break points in 5 sets (none converted).
I recomend 2/10 bet on Isner @ 2.3 Pinnacle

John Isner to beat Milos Raonic at 2.34 with Pinnacle
This is the very definition of a coin-flip. At 2.34 and with a nice H2H lead as well. Hard to say anything creative about the match-up.
 

Angelique Kerber (-1.5 sets) to beat Belinda Bencic at 2.04 with Unibet
Belinda will stand no chance in this match. Angelique plays awsome right now, she can outplay anyone she is up against. Her level of play last match when she hit Naomi Osaka off the court was brilliant. Avoided to be broken completely and broke Naomi just as easy as she was walking the doggie. Angelique didn't face any breakpoints and the japanese was taken apart mentally and for Belinda to avoid that from happening she will have to raise her gameplay significantly. Belinda was broken 4 times when beating Carla Suárez Navarro partly because Carla had a party on Belindas second serves and Angelique will party on Belindas second serves even more. Only one outcome is possible for a match and the most likely outcome in this match is straight sets win for Angelique.

A fair point. However, only one of the top five ranked teams in the ante-post betting have made the Semi-Finals so that's the real surprise.
I think the comments above about Croatia being fatigued after two penalty shoot-outs is the key factor here. England had a fairly pedestrian game against Sweden compared to Croatia's highly intense win over Russia. At this stage in the competition, every bit of energy-saving counts.
This is why I think France versus Belgium will be closer to call. Both teams were tested in their Quarter-Final games but both sides were the team in control for the majority. France had 61% of the possession against Uruguay. Belgium only had 42% possession against Brazil. Everyone knows it's harder work without the ball. Will the effort put into containing Brazil's attack and hitting them on the counter come back to bite the Belgian energy levels in this Semi-Final? It's a fine margin but I think that could see France edge it.
I'm going for France and England to both win. It's going to be close in both games though. It could come down to a moment of genius or a split second of madness.

It's all about Modric and Rakatic in the England match. If these 2 are song, we could be in a world of trouble, if they're not it could be a hell of a lot easier, but Croatia are a very good team and are nearly always my dark horse pick at each major finals.
It will come down to heart, bottle and mentality for any team to win the World Cup from here on in, as they're all relatively the same level in my opinion. Belgium have the better players, but I'm still very suspect of them as a team. Coming back from 2-0 against Japan is one thing, doing it against Croatia, England or France is very much another.

Sam Querrey vs Gael Monfils (+4.5) @1.81 with marathonbet
First of all, i think this match should be more even, and i will place bet on Monfils win. This is value pick, where i feel pretty confident - Monfils definetely can win some sets or win the whole match. In addition, both are good servers, so big chances there will be tiebreaks, which will give us handicap.
Good luck!

Well, it seems that the next round is exceptionally tough. I'm really hoping for Vekic and Bencic to win + Ostapenko to lose for the pre-season punts, but I don't exactly fancy their chances. I'm going to run through all the matches tomorrow again, but, for now, I do want to take this one.
Kiki Bertens (+4) to beat Karolina Pliskova at 1.83 with Pinnacle
Pliskova shouldn't really be here anymore, but Buzarnescu choked on the big stage and lost the thread against her despite being the better player for nearly two entire sets. Such things happen and they can give the winners of such matches nice boosts, but Pliskova's movement on grass is virtually non-existent, so I find it hard to believe that she's going to just pummel Bertens here. The world's number twenty showed plenty of fight against Williams and has reliable shots that can win a lot of points against Pliskova. The Czech did crush her in Stuttgart earlier this year and that is a slight worry, but it should be remembered that Pliskova played the Fed Cup in the same venue just before the match and had quite a few situational factors on her side back then. Now she's struggling - and Bertens should be able to take advantage of that.

Mannarino @2,07 (Marathon)
His form is good and he has an H2H of 2-0 against Medvedev. I see him as a small favourite in this one.

Hi there, I certainly can't complain. Buzarnescu/Siniakova/Robert all delivering, Bencic winning to keep the pre-season bet very much alive. Kukushkin lost, but alright, can't win them all. Just hoping the streak is going to continue.
Camila Giorgi (-2.5) to beat Katerina Siniakova at 1.80 with Bet365
I might be a fan of Siniakova, but @Robinnho is right, she's being stretched left and right, too many long matches and too little rest. I prefer the games handicap personally, because I can see Siniakova winning the first and then losing physically, but the key is to oppose Siniakova in one way or another imo. Giorgi is better than Jabeur.
Mihaela Buzarnescu (+3.5) to beat Karolina Pliskova at 1.89 with Unibet
Any explanations needed? I don't think so.
Radu Albot (+2.5 sets) to beat John Isner at 1.78 with Pinnacle
Albot appears to have a certain knack against big serving guys, he's taken sets off the likes of Isner/Querrey/etc. before and the additional day of rest can only help him. Isner was shaky enough against Bemelmans for me to like this bet.
M.Raonic/D.Novak - Over 3.5 sets at 2.38 with Paddy Power
Novak appears to be on fire at the moment, two of the sets he played against Pouille were just unreal and the run might well continue on momentum alone. I don't think that he's going to beat Raonic, but the Canadian couldn't make much of an impact against Millman, so the overs look juicy to me at 2.38. Should be evens imo.
 

One for a couple of days time. 
Ebden to beat Simon @ 1.86 (Boosted) with William Hill
Ebden leads the H2H 2-0 and won both as moderate outsider. He's been in a great form this grass season and Simon's not particularly been. On grass Ebden is operating at a high level and his attacking tennis should give him the edge over Simon this time. 

URUGUAY VS FRANCE
Uruguay - They haven't looked too impressive to me until their last game against Portugal. After 4 games, I can see that they have a strong attack with Cavani and Suarez, solid defense marshaled by Godin, but an average midfield and goalkeeper. Still the good thing about them is that they only need few chances to score with Suarez/Cavani. 
France - Looked very dull in the groups stages but came alive in the Round of 16 against Argentina. Scored a couple of goals but mainly due to poor defending from Argentina in my opinion. France has the best squad in this world cup in terms of individuals, but then I can see they are tend to go to sleep in certain periods during the game
Verdict: I'll say a narrow win for Uruguay for this quarter final tie.
 
BRAZIL VS BELGIUM
Brazil - Brazil has shown that they are able to carve out victories without playing that well. In actual fact they've not played too badly after four games at this world cup. 
Belgium - World class players but without a world class coach. They have good attacks but poor defense as shown in games against Tunisia and Japan, conceding easy/simple goals in my opinion. 
Verdict: I'll say a comfortable victory for Brazil in this match.
 
ENGLAND VS SWEDEN
England - Looked dull against Colombia. Would not have scored if not for the penalty, but defensively solid against the Colombians. 
Sweden - Looked solid defensively and dangerous on the attack against the Swiss. They have no star player other than Forsberg which I think is a plus for this team, which mean everyone is on level terms and battling for the team and not accommodating any star player. Their height will be an advantage both defending and attacking set pieces. 
Verdict: Sweden to go through to the next round
 
CROATIA VS RUSSIA
Croatia - World class midfielders in Modric and Rakitic in the middle flanked by Perisic on the wing. Looked uninspiring at times but if the midfield is able to click, they can beat anyone in this world cup. 
Russia - Probably the most average squad Russia has ever had at a world cup but they have defied expectations by reaching the last 8. Home support maybe? But I cant see them winning this game against Croatia. I believe they will park the bus again like they did against Spain and hope to get to penalty shooutout to have a chance against the Croatians.
Verdict: Croatia to win 
 

Matt Ebden, Sofia Kenin, Jay Clarke, Julien Benneteau and Ali Riske all delivered. Of course something was gonna spoil the party as Mirza Basic completely failed and Katie Boulter couldn't serve out the match at 5-4 in second set. 
End of todays tennis...

Some good bets here. Really like Benneteau to win first set, Ebden, Kenin and Boulter (-1.5 sets) and had/have taken all of them. 
I also like:
Marius Copil @ 2.76 with Marathon (vs. Haase)
I think Copil is playing at a similar level to Haase - see his 3 setter against Dzumhur who won Antalya. Haase has the serve but he's not a natural on grass. His W/L record is 22-35 (38%) while Copil's is 29-19 (60%). I think this is a 50:50 match so willing to back Copil here! Also don't forget that Copil beat Haase on indoor hard (only H2H) earlier this year so he's more than capable of beating Haase.  It is very windy at SW19 (at least it was yesterday) so not sure how that will impact on this or any of the matches. It should disrupt servers a bit which will nullify the serve of both a bit, and I think Haase's ace count has saved him throughout grass season at multiple points.    I did also get Chardy @ 1.76, odds have shortened to 1.68. Think he should be pretty big favourite there. He's on a really good run and has only lost to Gasquet and Djokovic this grass season. Shapovalov has been in pretty terrible form and I really doubt his ability to get things done here.    Damir Dzumhur (-1.5 sets) @ 2.47 (vs. Marterer)
Mannarino was fine against the in-form Garin so I don't think Dzumhur will struggle here because of the travel. I think Dzumhur is playing at a very high level and beats Marterer in four or less sets.   

Philipp Kohlschreiber @ 1.65 with Marathon (vs. Muller)
Muller in terrible form. He finally won a match against Mmoh! Remember Mmoh lost in straight sets against John-Patrick Smith in qualifying so while Mmoh is talented I don't hold that up as a shining example of a win. 
Kohlschreiber hasn't looked at his best but is generally the better player and leads the H2H 3-0. I see a decent amount of value in backing Kohli here. Muller is not the force he once was on grass and Kohli is fairly natural on grass. He was very off colour against Ebden in Halle but think he'll have had chance to prepare for Wimbledon and take this match.    Also - the Dzumhur one above was with Marathon. 

Emil Forsberg  

Sweden to qualify at 1.95 and to beat Switzerland at 3.10 with bet365
Sweden to win, easy pick! We got Victor Nilsson Lindelöf, Mikael Lustig and Andreas Granqvist as superior defenders to the swiss defenders. Their well timed playing gives us swedes an extra security. The swiss will have to do without Stephan Lichtsteiner and Fabian Schär, two of their most important players in defense. The replacements Michael Lang and Johan Djourou are not as good. Xherdan Shaqiri is dangerous and did the crucial goal against Serbia a week ago. And not to forget the midfielders Granit Xhaka and Valon Behrami. Xhaka did a glorious goal against Serbia and Behrami are important as ball conqueror. Blerim Dzemaili, Steven Zuber and Haris Seferovic are also offensive powers that are not to be underestimated. At the same time Sweden will have to do without suspended/injured Sebastian Larsson. But I'm convinced that Gustav Svensson, or Oscar Hiljemark, will do a good effort, just because their roles and chores in the team are so well defined.
I belive Sweden will do a good effort in the end and find the goals needed to beat Switzerland. All we're missing is Seb Larsson and we can do without him, question is if Switzerland can do without suspended defenders Lichtsteiner and Schär. Chances for Sweden to create goal opportunities increase without those two. We trust in Ola Toivonen, Marcus Berg and Emil Forsberg to do the offensive job and they are not so bad. Feels like we are a bit more dangerous than the swiss and in the end we might just nick it without extra time. At the current price I'm willing to bet on it to happen. No draw for me because my confidence in my own country to solve this without extra time is sky high for this match. Come on swedish powers, GOOOO!

Sofia Kenin to beat Maria Sakkari at 2.20 with Paddypower
Sofia at 19 years old stands at her career high ranking 76 and she seems to be reasonably good at playing on grass. Had a good run on the grass of Mallorca beating Caro Garcia in 2 before going out in the semi to eventual champion Tatjana Maria in 3. She obviously plays very well on grass so she should be taken serious here as that run was a mini breakthrough for her. She's been playing good all season long on the surfaces she is best on, beating Daria Kasatkina in Miami, taking a set off Caro Wozniacki in Auckland quarters. She's been taught some lessons on clay but done good on faster surfaces so I think she's very mutch in for the win here. Maria lost her last two matches both on grass and one loss to Svetlana Kuznetsova who's trying to find her game after injury and that didn't impress so Maria certainly hasn't impressed on grass. With this reasoning Sofia to win is an easy choice so I'll pick her to win.

Katie Boulter (-1.5 sets) to beat Veronica Cepede Royg at 2.38 with Paddypower
Easy pick here. Katie on a surface she's been great on this summer v this paraguayan player who is best on clay and with no real form coming into this having lost her last 2 grass matches in straight sets. It doesn't hurt either that Katie met Veronica in 2014 on grass in Nottingham and won 6-3 6-2.
 

Brazil vs Mexico
Brazil have got 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, with 5 goals scored and 1 conceded, during which Philippe Coutinho has bagged 2 goals and 1 assist. He is the Brazil player with the best performance in group games. Besides, Brazil have already remained unbeaten for 14 successive matches in all competitions.
As for Mexico, they have made into the knock-out stage as the Group F runners-up after beating defending champions Germany in the 1st game.
Both sides have 5 encounters since 2010, and Brazil are superior by getting 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Besides, Mexico's core defender Hector Moreno will be suspended in this game due to his 2nd yellow card in the last group fixture, which will pile pressure on Mexico's defensive line. So Mexico can hardly halt Brazil's attacks in this match.
In conclusion, I believe Brazil are expected to grab a resounding win in this match.

Brazil vs Mexico
In a tournament that has seen a number of heavyweight nations already out of contention it all seems set up for Brazil to win their sixth World Cup. That journey continues here in this 3pm BST kick-off against Mexico at the Cosmos Arena in Samara. Is this a given though?
Brazil have arguably not managed to hit their top gear yet. A dull 1-1 draw against a resilient Switzerland, a last gasp 2-0 win over Costa Rica, and a steady 2-0 victory over Serbia ensured top spot in Group E. It also showed that Tite's side are appearing to improve as the tournament goes on and that is the sign of a dangerous unit in any World Cup tournament.
Mexico shocked the world with their 1-0 win over Germany in their opening game. Following that game with a solid 2-1 win over South Korea means many fans were left disappointed that they couldn't seal top spot in Group F after losing 3-0 to an impressive Swedish side. It cost them a last 16 tie with Switzerland who they surely would have preferred to Brazil. It also condemned them to what is gaining a reputation for being the tougher side of the draw. Even if Juan Carlos Osorio's team progress past this round this still have to face Belgium or Japan in the Quarter-Finals and then Uruguay or France in the Semi-Finals.
I'm going to cut straight to the point. Mexico peaked too early. I think they gave so much in their first game that it has knocked them for six. The cracks started to show in the latter stages of the South Korea game and then it all came apart against Sweden. I can see Brazil tearing them apart here.
It's probably naive to suggest Brazil will win this by a landslide because not many games in this World Cup have been one-sided. However, Brazil is superior in every department and when you throw into the fact that Brazil are getting better as the tournament is progressing yet Mexico are getting worse. Well, it doesn't bode well for the Mexicans. It's also about time Neymar started pulling his finger out!

Belgium vs Japan
The so-called "Golden Generation" of Belgium have passed their first major test of this tournament by beating England to top Group G. Unfortunately, that means they are in the reputed tougher side of the knockout draw but they are given a potentially easier (dangerous word to use at this World Cup!) tie with Japan in this 7pm BST kick-off at the Rostov Arena in Rostov-on-Don.
Belgium will be keen to shut up their critics and finally reach their potential. This is a game many of their fans will expect them to win. The three wins from three games in their tournament so far has given them momentum and it is now their game to lose against a Japan side that really lacks the quality Roberto Martinez's side possesses.
Japan have exceeded expectations by avoiding finishing bottom of Group H let alone qualifying ahead of both Senegal and Poland to reach the last 16. Akira Nishino becomes only the third Japanese manager to guide his team to this stage of the competition. He will break new ground if he manages to pull off a shock defeat here. No Japanese side has ever reached the Quarter-Finals of a World Cup before.
I'm reluctant to back Belgium to win here. Don't get me wrong. I still think they will but I'm not sure how effectively they will manage it. Japan remind me of the Wales team that defeated Belgium at the 2016 European Championship. One or two stand-out players but other than that a very average playing squad that relies on its team cohesion and work rate.
My feelings are that Belgium are wiser now and they are not suffering the defensive woes they had two years ago. I think this should be solid win for them. Japan will make it difficult and they might even give Belgium a scare. I think if Belgium can break the deadlock then a goal or two could follow.

Katie Boulter (-1.5 sets) to beat Veronica Cepede Royg at 2.38 with Paddypower
Easy pick here. Katie on a surface she's been great on this summer v this paraguayan player who is best on clay and with no real form coming into this having lost her last 2 grass matches in straight sets. It doesn't hurt either that Katie met Veronica in 2014 on grass in Nottingham and won 6-3 6-2.
 

Ernests Gulbis vs Jay Clarke +2.5 sets @1.813 Pinnacle stake: 4/10
I don't rate Clarke that high tbh, he looks like a decent prospect but he lacks a real weapon in his game to trouble better opponents. Still this is a pick against Gulbis who is simply one of the biggest error machines in mens tennis. I can't trust him 1% here. He should win this, no question but i doubt he is able to win a Best of Five match without dropping his level in one or two sets from time to time.
Matthew Ebden vs David Goffin @2.870 Pinnacle stake: 5/10
I really rate Ebden high on grass, he is a talented player but struggled a lot with injuries in the past but he is definitely in superb shape in 2018, i think he is playing the best tennis for his career right now. He looked great in Halle where i watched him live from 15metres distance, he was really pumped and confident, going for his shots and painting the lines. Goffin on the other side was never a real contender on grass although he improved a bit it's not his favorite surface for sure because he lacks a real game plan on grass as he is playing like it's clay or hardcourt.
Julien Benneteau vs Marton Fucsovics first set @1.84 188bet stake: 3/10
Benneteau and grass always a pleasure to watch. Fucsovics on the other side had a real tough shock moment in Halle vs Kohlschreiber where he slipped and dropped down. He had a medical timeout and his leg was taped but he had to retire. I doubt he will be in perfect condition tomorrow, Benneteau will play his heart out for sure, could be his last approach in Wimbledon. I take the first set here, money line at a 1 set bookmaker also a good option.
Diego Schwartzman vs Mirza Basic @2.61 Pinnacle stake: 3/10
Schwartzman NEVER won a match on grass and i can't see the reason why he is such a massive favorite vs a solid grass court player like Basic. Basic improved a lot last year and also this year, he is a Top 80 player now and played some really decent stuff recently. Schwartzman lost to Lacko in Eastbourne, Lacko is a poor mans Basic imo but a bit more consistent. If Basic reduces the errors he should win this. 
James Duckworth vs Alexander Zverev @15.91 Pinnacle stake: 1/10
Call me crazy but i think Duckworth will be a hell of an opponent for a first round. Duckworth is such a talented player but he struggled with injuries the last two or three years so he wasn't able to play consistent on a high level. It's a shame because i rate him as a solid Top 50 player. He looked great vs Cilic in Paris although he had no big match practice so i see no reason why he should not have a decent shot vs a very shaky Zverev who looked poor in Halle and also has some issues at bigger tournaments, his grand slam record is a mess for a Top 3 player.
Nick Kyrgios vs Denis Istomin @6.34 Pinnacle stake: 5/10
No idea what the clue is but the odds looking absolutely unreal. Istomin is a really dangerous player on grass everyone knows that, he lacks consistency but if he has a decent day he can beat them all. Kyrgios only played two tournaments recently, he looked absolutely solid there but still he played a lot of close matches there with a lot of tiebreaks and i expect the same thing here and maybe Istomin will have the upper hand here. On the other side we all have no idea if Kyrgios body is ready for four or five sets. I was tempted by Istomin here from the first second.
Dudi Sela vs Rafael Nadal +2.5 sets @3.56 Pinnacle stake: 4/10 / @20.50 Pinnacle stake: 1/10
Sela is a capable grass court player. I have only two problems here: 1. he is in poor shape and 2. he lacks a good serve. BUT i think he will be a tougher task than most think. Nadal looked poor in Hurlingham, i really think he is not at 100% right now, he put a lot into the claycourt season and grass was always problematic in the last years. I think Nadal will lose early here like he did last year.
