One of the most intriguing encounters in the 1/8 finals will be played between Jannik sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Before Wimbledon started, these young and talented guys were high seeded. However, they were unlikely to qualify for the top eight due to a banal lack of grass-court matches during their career. Now Jannik and Carlos have some classy wins under their belt. Jannik Sinner will play against Carlos Alcaraz Garfia in the ⅛ finals of Wimbledon. The game will start on July 3 at 16:45 UK time.

Alcaraz Garfia is slowly getting used to the grass surface. However, it is difficult to say that he feels great on the grass at the moment. Still, it is Sinner’s playing style that is more adapted to grass courts. We believe that it is Sinner who has a better chance of success in the upcoming match.
Both of their head-to-head encounters have been tightly fought out. We think that this match will be a long one.
Sinner entered his second week in a row at his fourth Grand Slam tournament. However, interestingly, he had not had a single win at Wimbledon before this season.
On Friday, Jannik scored a classy win over John Isner (6-4, 7-6, 6-3), who had beaten Andy Murray before that.
Unlike Murray, Isner’s serve was not a serious problem for Sinner. Jannik got one break each in the first and third sets. In the second set, he crushed the giant on the tie-break.
Interestingly, Isner did not have a single tie-break in the whole match.
Sinner defeated Stan Wawrinka (7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2) and Mikael Ymer (6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 6-2) in the first rounds.
Jannik Sinner has lost in his last four matches against top-10 players.
Alcaraz will also play in the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time. Last year, he dropped out after the second round.
We have to understand that those are essentially two different players. There was never any doubt about the talent of Carlos, but hardly anyone expected him to turn into one of the main rivals for Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal so quickly.
In the third round of Wimbledon, Carlos defeated Oscar Otte (6-3, 6-1, 6-2). Contrary to expectations, Otte could do nothing at all, even at the expense of his nasty serve.
In matches against tennis players like Alcaraz, one serve is clearly not enough. Carlos completely outplayed his opponent on the backline, delighting the crowd time after time with gorgeous strokes.
“It was the best grass-court match I’ve ever played,” Alcaraz said after the match.
It’s hard to disagree with him. Carlos showed incredible tennis.
Alcaraz has 17 wins in his last 18 meetings.
In 4 of Alcaraz Garfia’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with the odds of 1.66.
