SkySports tennis commentator James Buttler looks at the Wimbledon action on Tuesday and picks his winners at SW19.
A Wimbledon Tuesday 4-fold Acca
PICK 1: I'm going to start off with Elena Rybakina, the Kazakhstani. She's actually my pick to win the entire tournament on the women's side. She's taking on the Romanian, Elena Gabriela Ruse, a decent enough player, but Rybakina should have way too much for her opponent. She's 7/9 to go through in straight sets.
PICK 2: Across to the men's side of the draw, 28th seed, the Brit, Jack Draper, taking on Elias Ymer of Sweden. Draper, I think, could go quite a long way in this tournament. And, for him to win in straight sets, is 6/10.
PICK 3: The third pick is the Greek, Stefanos Tsitsipas, who is 8/13 to beat Taro Daniel, the Japanese player, in straight sets.
If you stop there, that gives you a 2.38/1 treble with Bet Victor, but I'm going to add a fourth choice into the mix, and I'm going to play it twice. And this is where the risk comes in. Maybe a little bit reward as well.
PICK 4: Iga Swiatek, the world no.1, the Pole. She's 1/16 to beat Sofia Kenin, and she should beat her. Swiatek hasn't got a great record at Wimbledon and, when she has struggles, she's tended to have gone out early in the event. She did reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon last year, and I think she gets through this first round clash. But it might not be completely uneventful.
So, if we add on Swiatek to go through in straight sets (a 3/10 shot), that takes the fourfold to 3.23/1.
Stick that to one side and then play a slightly different fourfold with Swiatek to go through, but in three sets, that's prices at 17/4. There's some value there and that would take the fourfold to 15.07/1.
You could play both half-stakes play.
I am behind those four players - Rybakina, Draper, Tsitsipas, and Swiatek to go through.
Please gamble responsibly, enjoy the tennis.
I'll see you again tomorrow.
