Rising star Cori Gauff, who has looked at home on the grass courts of SW19 this year has a big Round of 16 match on her hands.

Cori Gauff Preview – Can Gauff extend her stay at SW19?
Things are going to go up a level here for young American Cori Gauff.
She has looked extremely comfortable through her first three matches of this Grand Slam campaign.
There has not been a set dropped by Gauff so far and she has been untroubled.
This will be the first meeting with Angelique Kerber.
In the match tonight for Wimbledon tennis betting, Gauff is a quote of 8/11 to get the win* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021).
That’s a pretty incredible quote actually for tennis betting because Kerber is in big form at the moment.
So it says a lot about Gauff who is in the Wimbledon draw for the second time in her young career.
On her 2019 debut at the tournament, she reached this round of sixteen before bowing out.
Following a quarter-final berth at the recent French Open, her stature on the big stage is growing.
Form for the season from Gauff saw her take a 28/11 match win/loss record which is very strong.
She has collected a title this year, coming on the clay in Italy in May.
Gauff took on one grass-court tournament ahead of Wimbledon. That was at Eastbourne in which she lost her second match.
This is going to be so very interesting because this is going to be the sternest test she’s faced on grass this year.
A Gauff -1.5 Games Handicap is at a quote of 10/11* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021). This should be tight.
Angelique Kerber Preview – Kerber not to be written off
It’s generally hard to look past Angelique Kerber when there is a grass-court tournament around.
The former Wimbledon champion has made it to the second week after a little struggle in the third round.
She took a while to get going in her match against Aliksandra Sasnovich, dropping the first set.
But then she just responded with some blistering form to win 2-6 6-0 6-1.
That was some response and Kerber has grass court form this year.
She recently took the title at Bad Homburg, in what was a strong WTA Tour field.
That was the first title that Kerber had won since winning Wimbledon 2018.
What a lift that was for her and in the tennis betting outright for this match, Kerber is a quote of 11/10* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021).
But she has the experience, form and therefore a good chance in this match we feel.

Angelique Kerber hasn’t quite been at her best levels this year and did struggle through the clay swing.
But back on the grass she clearly has something to offer at the moment.
We think that she produces a big challenge and a Kerber +2.5 Games Handicap looks generous at 11/8* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021).
This is the first meeting between the two players, so they will need a little time to suss each other out.
But experience and power from Kerber could pull the German through this tie.

We like the underdog playing tennis betting in this one. That’s Angelique Kerber to win at 11/10* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021).
Her recent title in Germany denotes grass court form.
The way she responded to some early adversity in the last round was just spectacular as well.
Key Facts – Cori Gauff vs Angelique Kerber Betting Tip
- Cori Gauff meets Kerber for the first time

Gauff has had things relatively easy in the draw but looks more and more accomplished with each match under her belt.
But she’s still vastly inexperienced and this will be a totally different challenge.
Her big threat is likely to be produced early on. A Kerber 2-1 set betting option interests us* (odds taken 21:42 GMT July 4th 2021).
