Tennis Betting Tips: Djokovic and Sabalenka star in Sunday’s picks

I couldn't have been further wrong if I'd tried yesterday - all three selections saw the opposite outcome of what I'd tipped up...
Anyway, more brilliant action from the All England Club is heading our way on this middle Sunday, and I've picked out another three selections for my tennis betting tips, which you can find below.

Set Betting - Novak Djokovic to win 3-1 (vs Roman Safiullin) @ 12/5
Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic faces a tricky test on Centre Court today as he faces world number 36 Roman Safiullin.
The Russian plays his best tennis on grass and was a quarter-finalist here a few years back, and he's eliminated two top-30 opponents already in Andrey Rublev and Joao Fonseca.
I backed Djokovic to beat Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets a few days ago, and it was a close match, with the exception of the third set, which the Frenchman won 6-1 and on another day, things could have swung in his favour.
Ultimately, Djokovic has far too much experience on grass for me to back against him here, but I think Safiullin takes a set off the Serbian here.

Price Boost - Felix Auger-Aliassime to win 3-0 (vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina) @ 5/2 11/4
Next, Felix Auger-Aliassime faces Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Court One, and I'm backing the Canadian to win in straight sets.
Auger-Aliassime has eased into the round of 16 with victories over Alexander Shevchenko, Dino Prizmic and Michael Zheng - and he's yet to drop a set.
Davidovich Fokina poses a tougher challenge here though as the Spaniard is a competent grass performer, but Auger-Aliassime is now a career-high fourth in the world and currently looks to be the man to beat behind Jannik Sinner and probably Djokovic.
The head-to-head record is also in Auger-Aliassime's favour - he leads 4-1 in the five meetings the pair have had. I'm backing a statement win from the Canadian here, in straight sets.

Price Boost - Aryna Sabalenka to beat Naomi Osaka and serve 8+ aces @ 7/4 2/1
Another player yet to drop a set at this year's Championships is women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka, who takes on Naomi Osaka on Centre Court - who's also yet to drop a set.
Osaka may not be the same player she was a few years back when she was ranked number one in the world, but the fourth round is the furthest she's ever made it at Wimbledon, and she's probably playing her best tennis on grass for a long time.
That being said, the 28-year-old probably has her work cut for her here against Sabalenka, who looks utterly dominant at the minute. Sabalenka holds a 6-1 advantage in the head-to-head record between the pair, so I'm taking the Belarusian to win the match and book her place in the next round.
The second angle of this bet is for Sabalenka to serve 8+ aces, which I think should land - the world number one hit five past Teodora Kostovic in her opening match, seven past McCartney Kessler, and nine past Jelena Ostapenko.
