Jasmine Paolini vs. Alexandra Eala Wimbledon Prediction — Monday, July 6
Match Winner Payouts: Paolini 2.32x | Eala 1.56x
Tournament Round: Round of 16
2026 Record Entering Wimbledon: Paolini 11-12 | Eala 27-17
Head-to-Head Record: Eala Leads 1-0
How to Watch: ESPN/ESPN2/ESPN App
Alexandra Eala is the feel-good story of the tournament after defeating defending Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek in straight sets to advance to her first-ever major fourth round.
Eala is actually favored to reach the quarters despite facing a former Wimbledon finalist, Jasmine Paolini.
Paolini is trying to turn around an underwhelming season, winning three straight matches for the first time since Indian Wells in March. After getting bageled in her opening set of the tournament, she’s now won six in a row.
While Eala failed to get out of the first round at the French Open, she quickly got back to work to prepare for Wimbledon.
The 21-year-old entered four different grass events, going 9-3 while winning a WTA 125 event in Birmingham and reaching the semifinals in Berlin. Early exits at Queen’s Club and Bad Homburg show it wasn’t a flawless stretch, but the reps have clearly paid off.
On the other hand, Paolini logged only one tune-up grass match after getting bounced in the second round at Roland Garros. The Italian has also been dealing with a foot injury since the French Open and withdrew from Wimbledon doubles to manage her health.
Eala has struggled to make deep runs at the top-tier tournaments, but she could be on the verge of a breakthrough following the biggest win of her career. Against a player with questionable health and low expectations ahead of Wimbledon, she could have an advantage.

Jasmine Paolini vs. Alexandra Eala Pick for Wimbledon on Monday
Alexandra Eala Pick — 15.5 Fantasy Score
Note: In PrizePicks tennis fantasy scoring, players earn 10 points to start (match played), games won/lost are +1/-1, sets won/lost at +3/-3, aces are 0.5, while double faults count for -0.5.
Eala has scored 25, 21, and 23 fantasy points over her first three matches.
These two players faced each other for the first time earlier this year in Dubai, and Eala won 6-1, 7-6(5).
Tennis Abstract’s Elo ratings give the Filipino player a lot of credit for her work on grass this season. She came into the event ranked 12th on the surface, whereas Paolini is 24th.
Taylor Fritz vs. Alexander Bublik Wimbledon Prediction — Monday, July 6
Match Winner Payouts: Fritz 1.42x | Bublik 2.63x
Tournament Round: Round of 16
2026 Record Entering Wimbledon: Fritz 19-12 | Bublik 20-14
Head-to-Head Record: Tied 4-4
How to Watch: ESPN/ESPN2/ESPN App
Taylor Fritz entered the grass season with concerns surrounding his form and health after missing almost the entire clay swing due to knee tendonitis and exiting the French Open in the first round.
Well, it sure looks like that knee is feeling a whole lot better.
Since that disappointing performance at Roland Garros, Fritz has gone 10-2 on grass with trips to the finals at Stuttgart and Halle along the way. While he failed to win the title at either event, he’s clearly turned around his season as he enters this fourth-round match.
Fritz is no stranger to success at the All England Club. A win would put him in the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the fourth time in the last five seasons, and he was a semifinalist in 2025. Fritz has won 66.3% of his career grass matches.
The talent has never been in question for Alexander Bublik, who’s reached a major quarterfinal only once in his career (2025 French Open).
But he’s now matched his best Wimbledon result after besting Frances Tiafoe in a thrilling five-setter, a match where Bublik racked up 48 aces.
This is certainly the right surface for Bublik to reach his second Grand Slam quarterfinal, as he’s historically been an excellent grass player (64.5% career win rate).
Fritz has dropped only one set through the first three rounds, and between his hot play on grass and his strong Wimbledon track record, he’s a deserving favorite. Also, while their head-to-head is tied 4-4, the American has won four of the last five matches, including a grass win this season.
However, Bublik has the game to make this competitive if he continues to play at a high level.

Taylor Fritz vs. Alexander Bublik Pick for Wimbledon on Monday
Fritz vs. Bublik Prediction — 41.5 Total Games
Per Tennis Abstract’s Elo ratings, Fritz ranks sixth on grass, and Bublik checks in at 10th.
Both players feature big serves but aren’t as strong in the return game.
Among the top 50 players in 2026, Fritz ranks second in serve points won (71.5%) and first in ace rate (18.7%), while Bublik is 17th (67.2%) and 7th (12.7%).
Meanwhile, the American is 48th in receiving points won (32.8%), and the Kazakhstani player is 43rd (33.8%). Both players are bottom-10 in ace rate against, as well, getting aced over 10% of the time.
As a result, Fritz and Bublik have played 27 and 21 tiebreaks this season, respectively, and those figures are more likely to rise on grass, where service holds are typically easier to come by.
Two of Bublik’s matches have gone five sets, and they’ve gone 51 and 55 total games. Despite losing just one set so far, Fritz’s four-set win in the third round went 42 total games.
Jiri Lehecka vs. Alexander Zverev Prediction for Wimbledon — Monday, July 6
Match Winner Payouts: Lehecka 3.33x | Zverev 1.29x
Tournament Round: Round of 16
2026 Record Entering Wimbledon: Lehcka 20-12 | Zverev 38-10
Head-to-Head Record: Tied 1-1
How to Watch: ESPN/ESPN2/ESPN App
Alexander Zverev has reached the Wimbledon fourth round for the third time and is now one step away from his first quarterfinal here. While the 2026 French Open champion is playing on his weakest surface, most players would gladly take his 66.7% win percentage on grass.
Through three rounds, the German has lost one set, and none of his matches have gone over three hours.
Jiri Lehecka is also seeking his first Wimbledon quarterfinal, which would be his third time in a major quarterfinal. He didn’t come into this Wimbledon with much momentum, losing in the first round at Roland Garros and then going 3-2 across two grass tournaments.
The good news is Lehecka came in with a solid 15-10 career grass record, and he’s dropped just one set in what’s been a mostly comfortable run to the fourth round.
Still, this is a significant step up in competition for Lehecka, who now faces a player with extensive experience making deep runs at Grand Slams, even if Zverev hasn't enjoyed the same level of success at Wimbledon. Lehecka has a 30.6% career win rate versus top-10 players

Jiri Lehecka vs. Alexander Zverev Pick for Wimbledon on Monday
Lehecka vs. Zverev Pick — 39.5 Total Games
Five of Zverev’s 10 sets have gone to a tiebreak. His four-setter against up-and-comer Alexander Blockx in the first round went 50 total games.
Tennis Abstract’s Elo ratings rank Zverev fourth on grass, but Lecheka is just outside the top 10 at 12th.
Including his three wins here, Lehecka is now up to a rock-solid 64.2% career win rate on grass.
Over the last 52 weeks, four of Lehecka’s last nine matches versus top-10 players have seen both players win a set.
