Roger Federer Preview – More to come from Federer?
In the Round of 16 at Wimbledon this year, Federer was up against 23rd seed Lorenzo Sonego.
Was he troubled?
Barely. That was a straight-set victory that Federer put in the bank.
Quick wins at this stage are important for the 39-year-old.
Through this Wimbledon campaign, Federer has dropped at least one set in two of his four matches.
In the first round, he was in deep trouble at 2-1 down against Andrian Mannarino, but he got through.
He really hasn’t looked back since then.
In the match outright for tennis betting, the win for Federer is at 2/5* (odds taken 2054 GMT on July 6th 2021).
That’s not unexpected at all.
There has not been a lot of time on the court throughout the course of the year for Federer.
After pulling out of his fourth-round match at Roland Garros, he lost in the second round of Halle, Germany.
That was a tournament that he usually thrives at.
The class and the shots that he is still able to make, is quite frankly, astonishing.
There has been one previous meeting between Federer and Hurkacz and that ended in a win for Federer.
That was on a hard court surface at Indian Wells in 2019, Federer winning in straight sets.
We can only think that he is going to be pulling through this match without dropping a set as well.
The Federer 3-0 set betting option is at 13/8* (odds taken 2054 GMT on July 6th 2021).
Hubert Hurkacz Preview – Can Hurkacz spring a surprise?
There has already been one major upset caused by Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz at Wimbledon this year.
In a delayed ending to his Round of 16 match against 2nd seed Daniil Medvedev, it was Hurkacz who had the finish in him.
Producing a big fight-back from 2-1 down in the match, 14th seed Hurkacz showed great control and composure to land the win.
That was the first match at this year’s Wimbledon that he had dropped a set in.
The road ahead doesn’t get any easier for Hurkacz who is the 2/1 underdog in the match outright* (odds taken 2054 GMT on July 6th 2021).
This is only the third appearance in the main draw of Wimbledon for the 24-year-old.
He didn’t make it past the Third Round in either of those other two attempts.

Hubert Hurkacz did pick up his first career ATP title this year, with a victory at the Miami Open.
But there was little suggestion that this Grand Slam run was coming from him.
He was a first-round loser at both the Australian Open and French Open Slams this year.
Can Hurkacz raise a challenge here?
A Hurkavz +4.5 Games Handicap tennis betting option suggests that he may not be able to get a strong enough one going* (odds taken 2054 GMT on July 6th 2021).
The big concern will be just how much that big five-set duel with Medvedev will have taken out of him.
