Ajla Tomljanovic Preview – Australian to reach first Quarter Final?
Australia’s Ajla Tomljanoivc has had a brilliant tournament and that can’t be understated.
In Wimbledon tennis betting she is a quote of 8/11 to get the victory* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021).
This is the first time that she has been past the third round at Wimbledon.
In fact, Tomljanovic has only made it past the third round of any Grand Slam in her career.
That was at Roland Garros back in 2014.
Looking at her form on grass coming into Wimbledon, there really wasn’t much suggestion about her going this deep.
She had fallen in the second round of Birmingham having won the first set against Coco Vandeweghe.
Then she couldn’t get through the qualifiers to reach the main draw of Eastbourne.
But here Tomljanovic is lining up a quarter-final shot at Wimbledon.
Tomljanovic moved past former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in the third round.
That was an ill-tempered match, with Ostapenko saying she was injured, but Tomljanovic didn’t believe her.
Tomljanovic had fought back from a set down to get that victory.
In the previous round, she saw off France’s Alize Cornet in a very good victory.
The Total Sets 3 Wimbledon tennis betting option is at 6/4* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021).
Two of Tomljanovic’s three matches at SW19 have gone that way this year.
Emma Raducanu Preview – Can Brit pull off another upset?
Remarkably, wildcard entrant Emma Raducanu has played only two WTA Tour matches this year.
She is currently ranked 338th in the world and will shoot up the rankings now following this run.
This is the debut Grand Slam tournament for the 18-year-old.
It’s been some road to the fourth round for her as well.
Raducanu has taken down a couple of players ranked inside the top 50 in the world.
Those were former French Open finalist Marketa Vondrousova and then Sorana Cirstea.
Those two victories were both in straight sets as well.
Against Cirstea in the third round, Raducanu went on a stunning run to win eight games on the spin on a show court.
In the match outright for Wimbledon tennis betting, the win for Raducanu is at 11/10* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021).

So there is an opportunity here and the quote of 11/10 on Raducanu may be worth a play* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021).
