Men's Wimbledon Quarter 1 Preview
Jannik Sinner sits at the top of the draw as the number 1 seed, and he looks to have a very solid draw here overall. It is hard to make a strong case for anyone in his quarter beating him over the course of best of 5 sets on grass, and his recent grass form is solid (loss to Medvedev was on a day where he was not well). I don’t want to harp on too much about this quarter, as it is likely Sinner’s to lose in my opinion, and with Ben Shelton looking way under the odds as the second favourite to win the quarter, I am struggling to find a player with form and fitness to the point of challenging the Italian. Not really interested in stepping into $1.20 for five matches though.
Men's Wimbledon Quarter 2 Preview
Now here is where things get a little more interesting in my opinion. We have a couple of big names in this section who are more than capable on the grass. The first is the number 4 seed Jack Draper, who may have a very tricky start to the week with a potential second round match against Marin Cilic, and a third round against Alexander Bublik, so it is hard to get too excited about his outright price. In the other half, I wonder if the early exit at Roland Garros and limited prep on the grass means we will see a refreshed Alex De Minaur here at Wimbledon. I think he is worth consideration in the quarter markets, though a 4th round against Novak Djokovic has the makings of a fascinating match.
Men's Wimbledon Quarter 3 Preview
If you are looking to stay away from the likes of Sinner, Djokovic, Draper and Carlos Alcaraz, then the third quarter is for you. It doesn’t quite have the same strength, though the players at the top of this section are all quite evenly matched. I think when you cast an eye over the section and the prices that are currently available, the player that stands out to me is Taylor Fritz. He is a player who is unafraid of the big occasion, has performed in the past against the other top seed in the section in Alexander Zverev, and is more than capable on the surface overall.

Much like Sinner in the first quarter, there aren’t a lot of players that I can make a strong case for here to knock off Carlos Alcaraz. There is a reason why the Spaniard is so short, and it is because he is so much better than everyone else in this section. Barring Felix-Auger Aliassime serving out of his mind in round 3, or perhaps a top performance from Jiri Lehecka, this quarter should be one way traffic for Alcaraz.

Women's Wimbledon Preview, Predictions & Tips
Women's Wimbledon Quarter 1 Preview
I think when Aryna Sabalenka saw the draw, she wouldn’t have been thrilled. A round 1 against one of the better performers in qualifying in Carston Branstine, a potential round 2 against Marie Bouzkova, a potential round 3 against Marketa Vondrousova or Emma Raducanu, a potential round 4 against Elina Svitolina or Elise Mertens, and then she still needs to win a quarter final for your quarter bet and two more matches for the outright. It is hard to get too excited about her price in this one to be completely honest.
Madison Keys is a potential quarter final opponent for Sabalenka, but when you look at the quality of the top half of this section, I’d rather cast a wider net and make a small play on an unseeded player to make a run out of the bottom half of the draw. The player that caught my eye at very long odds is Shuai Zhang. Although she is past her prime, I do feel her best is still capable of matching it with some top names. I will likely have her moneyline price in round 2 against Keys as value if they were to meet based on my valuation of Keys compared to the market since her Australian Open win, however a tiny play at $151 on Zhang to win the quarter seems OK.

This is the more ‘attackable’ section of the draw, with the top 8 seeds being Jasmine Paolini and Qinwen Zheng. I think they are both a littler vulnerable, and as a result, if you can find a player somewhere else in this section that catches your eye, I think it would be well worth making a play. For me, that player is Diana Shnaider. Although her level can fluctuate significantly, she does have all the tools to be a threat on the grass surface, and I don’t think her draw is the worst. I think if she were the meet Jelena Ostapenko in round 3, the winner of that match may be able to push their way out of this section. I slightly prefer Shnaider.
Women's Wimbledon Quarter 3 Preview
This section looks a little stronger on paper than perhaps it is when you look at the 2025 form and fitness levels of the players involved. In previous years I would have been thrilled to consider the likes of Barbora Krejcikova, Karolina Muchova, and Petra Kvitova, however form and fitness issues have plagued the trio to the point where I cannot consider them here. The player that stands out the most is Jessica Pegula. I prefer her at the slightly longer price than Mirra Andreeva due to her improved consistency and maturity in her level. I think she is flying under the radar as the number 3 seed here and could be primed for a breakthrough fortnight here at Wimbledon.
Women's Wimbledon Quarter 4 Preview
This section looks to be absolutely stacked, and it is a section that I don’t want to get too heavily involved in personally. Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina are slated to meet each other in the 4th round, and at their short odds they cancel each other other. I also want to wait and see of Coco Gauff, as she has a tricky round 1 match with Dayana Yastremska who may rush her a little bit, so it is a watch this space on the American.
There is a genuinely random outlier price at Unibet and that is Maya Joint to win the quarter at $81 ($34 or shorter elsewhere), however it is still a long shot given the strength in this section. Rather than take any of the top 3 in the market, I think I will make a smaller play on Joint’s round 1 opponent Liudmila Samsonova, who has a big game, has shown her ability on the grass before, and can take it to the big names in this draw.
