Wimbledon day 5 promises a healthy dose of world class tennis as the championships continue to make up for the lost time earlier in the week. Our Wimbledon predictions have got off to a strong start amongst the chaos in SW19, and the action only heats up as we enjoy the second and third rounds.
It is full steam ahead as far as our Wimbledon predictions are concerned and you can get on our treble at just over 4/1!
Jule Niemeier, 23, is becoming a grass court specialist and made the quarter-finals at the All England Club last year, her match against Dalma Galfi is in our Wimbledon predictions. Former world no. 2 Alexander Zverev will be aiming to get past the fourth round at the championships for the first time in his career, and the German takes on emerging Japanese talent Yosuke Watanuki on Wimbledon day 5.
Katie Boulter and Liam Broady’s success on Wimbledon day 4 has lifted the mood significantly, there will certainly be more underdog storylines to come as we head into a busy weekend of tennis.

Zverev the flat-track bully
Alexander Zverev has made light work of reaching the second week of grand slams in his career to date. The 26-year-old suffered a major ankle injury at the French Open last year and is still returning to his best level, but his form in five-set matches has been impressive. The two-time ATP Tour Finals champion reached the semi-finals of the French Open last month, only dropping two sets on his way to that stage, and won three matches in straight sets at Halle in preparation for Wimbledon.
He stuck to his task well in round 1 to get past Gijs Brouwer, who is no pushover on the surface despite being ranked at 153, sealing a 6-4 7-6 7-6 win. Yosuke Watanuki comes into the match after edging past Marc-Andrea Huesler in a five-set match that lasted over four hours. It was only the 25-year-old’s second grand slam victory of his career, and the world no. 116 may present low-hanging fruit to Zverev.
Taking Zverev to cover a game handicap of -6.5 at 10/11 appears to represent value given what he is capable of in the early rounds of slams, and Watanuki’s modest record at the level. A 6-4 6-4 6-3 win for Zverev would be enough to see this bet land.

7th July
start time 11:00 Alexander Zverev (-6.5)Niemeier off the back of a statement win
Jule Niemeier knocked out French Open finalist Karolina Muchova in the first round, with the latter fancied to make a deep run in the tournament. Once again, showcasing her prowess on the surface after making the quarters last year. World no. 124 Dalma Galfi stands in her way on Wimbledon day 5 after pulling off an outsider win over 18-year-old Linda Noskova in round 1.
Niemeier should arguably be a stronger favourite in this match and for that reason, the German looks like a sensible bet to add into our Wimbledon day 5 treble. The pair have met once previously in which Niemeier won in straight sets.
The draw has opened up for the favourite to make it to the quarter-finals once again, in Aryna Sabalenka’s section of the draw, 2/5 offers enough incentive for us to get involved.
Strong servers to produce marathon match
Jason Kubler and Nicolas Jarry both have game styles that should translate to grass very well. The former made the last 16 in 2022, while the latter has one of the best serves on tour when onsong. Jarry was not at his best in getting past clay courter Marco Cecchinato in four sets in the first round, a performance that will have encouraged Kubler, who comes in as a 7/5 outsider.
Over 41.5 games is appealing in this encounter, which does mean both players will be required to win a set. Kubler played 46 against Humbert in round 1 and Jarry needed 35 to progress. Jarry is never too far away from a tiebreak regardless of the surface he is playing on, and Kubler is well positioned to give him a run for his money, with the Chilean currently at a career high of 28.
Kubler has won eight and lost three on the grass this season and will not go down without a fight, potentially in front of some Australian support.
