Felix Auger-Aliassime Preview – Will young Canadian deliver the win?
There could be fireworks happening at Wimbledon on Saturday with this fascinating Third Round match.
Canada’s 20-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime is the odds-on favourite to get through this task.
In the first round of this Grand Slam, Auger-Aliassime took a comfortable straight-sets victory.
He was made to work a little bit harder in the second round as he needed four sets to get past Sweden’s Mikael Ymer.
In the match outright for Wimbledon tennis betting, Felix Auger-Aliassime is the 4/5 odds-on favourite* (odds taken 2346 GMT on July 1st 2021).
Ahead of this Grand Slam effort, the young Canadian had a 20-13 season match record.
He has been carrying some terrific form lately as well.
On the grass in Stuttgart Auger-Aliassime went to the final where he missed out on the title against Marin Cilic.
He bounced straight back with a semi-final run in Halle, Germany then.
The notable victory in that campaign happened in the second round when he took out Roger Federer in three sets.
That grass-court form really has to be taken into consideration. A Felix Auger-Aliassime -1.5 Games Handicap is a quote of 19/20* (odds taken 2346 GMT on July 1st 2021).
This is the second Wimbledon campaign for him, having reached the Third Round on his debut in 2019.
Nick Kyrgios Preview – More to come from Kyrgios at SW19?
Few would have predicted a Third Round appearance at Wimbledon this year for Nick Kyrgios.
The Australian was the underdog for his first-round match against Ugo Humbert.
But in a five-set thriller, Kyrgios took the deciding set 9-7 after having looked down and out early on.
Kyrgios had been 2-1 down and heading out.
Things were much smoother for the Australian in the second round as he posted a straight-sets victory.
In the match outright for Wimbledon tennis betting, the win for Kyrgios is at even money* (odds taken 2346 GMT on July 1st 2021).
Why is this such an unexpected run from Kyrgios however?
It is because he had only played six matches (W4 L2) all year.

Nick Kyrgios has been across the net from Felix Auger-Aliassime before, as they met in 2019.
That notably was on grass at Queens, with the letter collecting the win in a deciding set.
It was a really tight match, the first two sets being settled by a tie-breaker. We don’t however see Saturday’s meeting going the distance.
That’s because we think that Kyrgios is heading home without registering much.
