Day 10 Main Picks: Men- QF’s
Daniil Medvedev vs Christopher Eubanks
Medvedev 3-0 @6/5
Eubanks has been on an impressive streak, securing nine consecutive wins in Mallorca and the current tournament. Surprisingly, his serve-oriented style of play has made a significant impact on the main tour, and he has also showcased glimpses of brilliance in his groundstrokes. However, these moments of excellence appear to be fleeting rather than consistent. In his upcoming match against the defensive prowess of Medvedev, Eubanks will need to possess the ability to disrupt his opponent’s preferred footwork patterns and adopt a slightly more unorthodox approach. Unfortunately, it remains uncertain whether Eubanks will bring this level of versatility to the court on Wednesday. Undoubtedly, this will be a more challenging matchup for him compared to his previous encounter with Tsitsipas.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Holger Rune
Alcaraz @1/4
The clash between Alcaraz and Rune is a relatively rare occurrence, with only two previous encounters. One of these matches took place in the unique format of the NextGen Finals, while the other ended with the retirement of the World No. 1. Both players have shown improvements in their grass court games this year. While Alcaraz has made significant strides in his development and has been dominating the Tour more consistently, their head-to-head battles might still be highly competitive, akin to the Alcaraz vs Sinner rivalry. Rune has displayed excellent problem-solving abilities on grass throughout the tournament, but despite that, it would be difficult to bet against the talented Spaniard in this matchup.
Day 10 Women’s QF Picks:
Aryna Sabalenka vs Madison Keys
Over 22.5 Games @5/6
Keys has been in exceptional form since her performance in Eastbourne, displaying improved problem-solving skills, notably by incorporating more net play into her game against Andreeva. However, the upcoming matchup presents a different challenge as it will revolve around a fierce battle for baseline supremacy. It remains uncertain whether Keys possesses the necessary tools to contend with the onslaught that Sabalenka is likely to unleash. Sabalenka’s powerful and forceful shots have the potential to make it incredibly difficult for her opponents to execute their usual style of play.
Elena Rybakina vs Ons Jabeur
Jabeur 2-1 @7/2
In a highly anticipated rematch of last year’s final, both players have reasons to be confident. Rybakina enters the match completely fresh due to Beatriz Haddad Maia’s unfortunate retirement in the fourth round. On the other hand, Jabeur showcased her exceptional skills by demolishing two-time champion Petra Kvitová in an outstanding performance. In their previous encounter, Rybakina’s raw power overwhelmed Jabeur’s varied game. It’s a difficult decision, but I have a feeling that Jabeur will exact her revenge this time. Her recent matches against Andreescu and Kvitová will have provided ideal preparation for handling Rybakina’s power, although it will be a significant step up in terms of the opposition’s quality. I believe the Tunisian player will have enough to emerge victorious this time around.
