Wimbledon Betting Tips: Sinner hoping for improvement against Shelton

The Wimbledon quarter-finals continue on Wednesday and there are some cracking matches to look forward to, particularly Jannik Sinner v Ben Shelton. The action in SW19 is heating up as we dive deeper into week two at the Championships and I'm here to present my three selections for the day.

Check out my Wimbledon Betting Tips below.

Set Betting - Novak Djokovic to beat Flavio Cobolli 3-1 @ 23/10

Novak Djokovic is competing in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon for the 16th time, as he bids to claim a record 25th Grand Slam title and his eighth crown at the Championships.

The 38-year-old veteran continues to impress at the All England Lawn & Tennis Club and he is hoping to reach the final for the seventh-straight year (excluding the tournament-less 2020). His worst performance of this year's tournament came in the last round against Alex de Minaur, but his rich experience managed to see him through in four sets - just about.

The conditions were not the best and the Serbian will be hoping to adapt better if he faces the same obstacles against Flavio Cobolli in the last eight on Wednesday. De Minaur on paper was the tougher opponent and Djokovic managed to get through that test, so he is expected to find his way past Cobolli in what will be their second career meeting.

The Italian may be feeling confident from his form but he is taking on one of the greatest tennis players to ever grace the sport at a Slam he has conquered seven times, including four of the past six editions. Djokovic's skill and precision should prove too much for the young star, but I think he can take at least a set against the 24-time Grand Slam champion.

Set Betting - Mirra Andreeva to beat Belinda Bencic 2-1 @ 11/4

Teenage star Mirra Andreeva fired a warning to the rest of the competitors at Wimbledon with her commanding straight-sets victory over last year's quarter-finalist Emma Navarro on Monday, and it still looks like the Russian still has more to give in SW19.

She faces Belinda Bencic on Wednesday, with both reaching this stage at Wimbledon for the first time. There may be some nerves from both players early doors but once they get into a rhythm, it could be a captivating contest.

On current form, I can't see anything other than an Andreeva victory. Despite her young age, she is exuding confidence on court and her defensive and counter-attacking style have been causing problems for everyone she has faced so far in SW19.

The 18-year-old is holding her serve more than usual so this is proving to be a valuable experience for the rising star. Bencic does possess a powerful serve, though, which will ask questions of her opponent, and I do think we could see this one go the distance.

Set Betting - Jannik Sinner to beat Ben Shelton 3-1 @ 23/10

World number one Jannik Sinner can count himself very lucky that Grigor Dimitrov had to retire in their last-16 battle as the Italian was two sets down and having his worst performance of the tournament. Sinner has picked up an elbow injury, however, and he is waiting for the results of an MRI which could drastically affect his plans.

Should be given the okay to continue playing, he will need to drastically improve if he wishes to beat Ben Shelton and reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the second time in his career. The 23-year-old is already playing at a level beyond his years but his last match shows that he still has a way to go to be as dominant as the legendary figures he wishes to emulate.

One thing working in Sinner's favour ahead of Wednesday's clash is that he will hold the mental advantage over his opponent, having beaten Shelton in their last five meetings. Shelton should look to Dimitrov's serve and volley strategy for inspiration here to try and stump Sinner, but I doubt it will be enough.

I don't think Sinner will play anywhere close to how he did in the last match and I am expecting drastic improvement from the three-time Grand Slam champion. He may be a little raw from the other day, which may present a couple of opportunities for Shelton, so I'm backing him to take at least one set in this contest.
