NOVAK DJOKOVIC VS ROGER 

FEDERER

When Djokovic and Federer were asked about playing with each other on Sunday, there was a clear theme for their answers:

We have been here before.

"I've played with Roger in a number of epic finals here a number of years in a row, so I know what to expect," Djokovic said.

"I think when you play someone there may have been more than 15 times, especially in the past few years too, there is nothing left there," Federer said.

Indeed, Djokovic and Federer have faced 47 times since 2006, twice in the Wimbledon final, and twice since Djokovic started his comeback in 2018. Seeing the results of that match, and assuming there are no new wrinkles in their competition, Djokovic has a favorite in that this one. He led Federer 25-22 overall; he won the last four meetings since 2015; he won their Wimbledon final in 2014 and 2015; and he has won their last four games at the Grand Slams. The last time Federer beat Djokovic in the major was at Wimbledon in 2012.

Djokovic is younger, he won three of the last four Slams, and he presents the problem of fighting for everyone, including Federer. Djokovic can fend off Federer's service, which is his core weapon on grass, with the return of his best tour. He is better than the baseline. And unlike the majority of Federer's opponents, Djokovic believes he must beat him. Even though he wasn't spectacular in his first six games, that was important for Djokovic. He doesn't need to be like that.

Of course, this doesn't mean we have to hand the trophy to Djokovic. Their Wimbledon final from the beginning of the decade was decided by a thin margin, like their last meeting, at Bercy last November, which Djokovic won in the third set tiebreaker in one of the best contests of the year. One unknown factor this time is Federer's reaction to his three-hour victory over Nadal in the semifinals. Will this fulfill him with the conviction that he is the most important? Or will it make it mature for emotional and physical disappointment? Either way, to defeat Djokovic, Federer is likely to have to play better than he did to defeat Nadal. That's a lot to ask, even for him.

Novak Djokovic vs Hubert Hurkacz Preview and Prediction Grand Slam. Wimbledon Friday , 5 July , 2019

Novak Djokovic vs. Hubert Hurkacz

So far it has run smoothly for defending champions Novak Djokovic. The Serbian came to London disappointed at the French Open. He tried to win both the Roland Garros and Nole-Slam titles (if he wins, he has held all four Slam titles at once, though not in the same calendar year). The world number one was sent pack by Dominic Thiem in the semifinals, thus ending his quest. Based on his performance in London so far, he seems to have bounced back well. Djokovic scored a straight-set direct win over Philipp Kohlschreiber and Denis Kudla in his first two rounds.

His opponent in the third round was Hubert Hurkacz who was on the rise. At the beginning of 2019, Hurkacz still spends some of his time on the Challenger circuit. Success during the spring hardfield swing has given him enough boost ratings so he rarely needs to qualify for the tournament again. He hasn't had fantastic success in the department so far, so that's good news for Pole that he is in the third round. The bad news is that his opponent is Djokovic.

Djokovic dismantled Hurkacz last month in the first round of the French Open. Given all the Wimbledon titles, it is doubtful that Hurkacz will reduce the favorite grass game.

Petra Martic vs Danielle Collins Preview and Prediction Grand Slam. Wimbledon Friday , 5 July , 2019

Petra Martic: results and record

Ranking no. 24 (high career), Martic went up to round 3 after beating Jennifer Brady 3-6 6-3 6-4 and Anastasia Potapova 3-6 6-3 6-4.

The best result of the season was winning the title in Istanbul where he defeated Marketa Vondrousova in the final 1-6 6-4 6-1.

Petra has a 23-9 win-loss record in 2019, 5-1

Last year at Wimbledon

Petra lost in the first round 7-60 2-6 6-3 from Ekaterina Makarova.

Danielle Rose Collins: results and record

Ranking no. 34, the American advanced to the 3rd round after beating Zarina Diyas 6-3 7-5 and Anastasija Sevastova 4-6 6-4 6-3.

Collins's best results this season are reaching the semi-finals in Melbourne.

Danielle has a 17-12 win-loss record in 2019, 2-1

Last year at Wimbledon

Collins lost in the first round 6-3 6-2 to Elise Mertens.

Petra Martic did not have an easy road to the third round. With an identical match score, 3-6 6-3 6-4, Croatia needed a long time in court to beat Jen Brady in the opener and Anastasia Potapova in the second round. Martic was able to fight back from set down in every match. But I don't think Martic can start slowly against a passionate Danielle Collins. America will start strong and will be Martic's toughest opponent. There will be some shifting momentum throughout, but I see Danielle Collins punching her ticket for the fourth round.

Prediction: Collins: 3

Reilly Opelka vs Milos Raonic Preview and Prediction Grand Slam. Wimbledon Friday , 5 July , 2019

REELY OPELKA

Reilly Opelka surprised Wimbledon with a win of five marathon sets over former world number three and favorite Stan Wawrinka.

Opelka has broken his Grand Slam record with this third round match because the best before was the second round at the Australian Open.

The 21-year-old Opelka will be very happy with his performance against Wawrinka but he must call for an effort that made him beat John Isner on his journey to win the New York Open in February to combat the similar style of Milos Raonic.

MILOS RAONIC

Milos Raonic scored 31 shocking aces on his way to a fairly easy three-set victory over Robin Haase in the second round.

Raonic reappeared to his best and while he had never faced his next opponent Reilly Opelka before now, he defeated fellow big server Sam Querrey at Indian Wells.

The Canadian retired before he could play Felix Auger-Aliassime in Stuttgart and lost to champions Queen Feliciano Lopez in three sets, and he had to expect to reach the last eight at Wimbledon.

atchup

Seeing style battles, you might think this is just a big service clash. But these two people have more to offer than their service. Anyone who watches Opelka play in a number of matches, knows what I'm talking about. He is very solid from behind the baseline. It has good timing on both wings, which allows him to take the ball while riding and hit it very flat which is always difficult to handle on the grass. He also knew how to build a point, keep the ball low and move towards the goal and use large wide wings to make the opponent's troubled passing kick. Raonic is a little less versatile in my opinion. He relied more on his service and was very dependent on the 1-2 punch that followed him.

Bet & prediction opportunities

That's why I think he will have a lot of problems with Opelka in this matter. They both have large services that are not easily broken, while Raonic has little or no advantage in other areas of the game. With everything said, I have no choice but to ask for annoyance in this matter. Opelka opens as an underdog 3 to 1 and bets around +250, which in my opinion still offers a lot of value.

Caroline Wozniacki vs Shuai Zhang Preview and Prediction Grand Slam. Wimbledon Friday , 5 July , 2019

Wozniacki

ollowover was very comfortable in the first half against Sara Sorribes Tormo, Wozniacki faced his first real test against Veronika Kudermetova in the second round. The match was demanding from Denmark, who won the first set with a very thin difference in the tie-break.

The 14th seed found his rhythm in the second set when he got a break early in the match. After that, it was a fairly easy trip to win for the former US Open runner-up. Overall, the match lasts for one hour and 49 minutes.

Dane has the same problem this season because of an injury. The loss of form is due to bringing it out of the top 10 and now, it aims to return to the rhythm once again. His best run came in Charleston where he was runner-up. However, this was followed by successive defeats in Madrid, Rome and Paris in the first round.

Zhang Hopes

At present double No. 9, Zhang has had a phenomenal time on the double circuit, including winning the women's doubles title at the Australian Open and reaching the final in Miami with Samantha Stosur.

However, on a single circuit, the winning record is 13-15. Most of the wins came in the 125K Series at Anning, where he reached the final. That was the only highlight of the season, when Zhang followed the spell with the first round out in Madrid, Rome and Strasbourg.

Even on grass, he got the same results in Nottingham and Mallorca. However, at Eastbourne, he made it to the third round before falling to Alize Cornet.

Fortunately, Zhang managed to maintain that momentum at Wimbledon, starting with a direct victory over Caroline Garcia. Following the victory, he moved past Belgian qualifier Yanina Wickmayer 6-3, 6-2. The two-time winner of the Guangzhou Open now faces a hard test against Wozniacki.

Wozniacki v Zhang Prediction & Tip

This will be an interesting match to follow. Zhang is a strong opponent who is able to provide some quality results while Wozniacki is still on track to find the plot. It won't be surprising if this one becomes three sets.

Forecast

The favorite for Tennis Tonic is Caroline Wozniacki who must win in 2 sets.

Betting odds

Caroline Wozniacki -> 1.33

Shuai Zhang -> 3.40
