Starting just after that, Novak Djokovic looks to fend off a game underdog in Flavio Cobolli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my top Wimbledon predictions for July 9, featuring a pick on Iga Swiatek vs. Liudmila Samsonova.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wimbledon predictions: July 9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Cobolli +2.5 sets (-112)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cobolli is a massive underdog (+750) to beat Djokovic, which means the Italian has good value to win a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The 23-year-old is at the top of his game right now, ranking the highest he&#8217;s ever been in the ATP (No. 23).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s rolled through the competition at the All England Club, winning 12 of 13 possible sets. That includes two straight wins as an underdog.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no denying that Djokovic is one of the best to ever do it on grass, sporting a 99-11 career record on the playing surface. But he&#8217;s allowed two of four opponents to take a set off of him at this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cobolli&#8217;s been the better player, too. He needed over an hour less of time on court to reach the quarterfinal. There&#8217;s some stock in that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s hard for someone playing as well as Cobolli to suddenly lose three straight sets, regardless of the opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go to full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/tennis\/matches\/48h\">Wimbledon betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet: Sinner vs. Shelton<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Shelton +1.5 sets (+125):<\/strong><\/strong> There is some major concern in the Sinner camp. In his match with Grigor Dimitrov, he injured his elbow before going down two sets and was in some serious trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dimitrov ended up having to retire in the third set with what appeared to be a pectoral injury. It was an unfortunate bounce that kept Sinner&#8217;s tournament alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, the Italian cancelled practice and has an MRI scheduled for Tuesday to check for serious damage. If he is able to go, I&#8217;m certain he&#8217;ll be less than 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s not a good spot to be in against Shelton right now. The American has won three of his four matches at Wimbledon in straight sets. He&#8217;s also up to No. 10 in the world, the highest ranking of his young career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 21-year-old has saved 87% of his break points and won 95% of his service games on grass in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 100%, I&#8217;d back Sinner in a heartbeat. But a concerning injury at this stage of the competition has me very worried for the Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m officially putting this match on upset watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet: Swiatek vs. Samsonova<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Swiatek -4 games (-112):<\/strong> The former world No. 1 looks in form right now and it&#8217;s a scary sight for her competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>She&#8217;s 7-1 on grass this season (29-7 in her career overall).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Six of those wins came in straight sets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Her opponent, Samsonova, has also been playing really well, winning every set at Wimbledon, but she&#8217;s struggled in this matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swiatek is 4-0 vs. Samsonova in her career, winning the last three matches in straight sets and covering this spread in each of those meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wimbledon predictions made at 4:08 p.m. on 07\/08\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two top players in the world play quarterfinal matches at Wimbledon on Wednesday.
