Day 9 of the Wimbledon Championship is crucial, as we’re now in the second week of the third grand slam of the season.

This is when the men’s and women’s quarter-finals kick off, and it might also signal the end of British singles involvement as Cameron Norrie faces the defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz.

Other matches on day 9 at Wimbledon include Taylor Fritz vs Karen Khachanov, Aryna Sabalenka vs Laura Siegemund, and Amanda Anisimova vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

Before the action begins on the show courts, check out our Wimbledon day 9 tips below.

Wimbledon Day 9 Tips: Our Picks

Carlos Alcaraz 3-1 Cameron Norrie (29/10)

The Carlos Alcaraz to win his matches 3-1 selection has been successful throughout the Championships, and there is no reason to stop now at the quarter-final stage.

While Alcaraz’s focus is likely to intensify now that we are at the critical part of the tournament, he is facing not only Cameron Norrie on Tuesday but also the majority of the Centre Court crowd, with the 29-year-old being the last Brit standing.

Norrie has been outstanding throughout the tournament, defeating two higher-ranked ATP opponents. He has also shown his fighting spirit, winning just one of his four matches in straight sets.

The main reason for this bet is Alcaraz’s tendency to give his opponents hope in grand slams. He has dropped exactly one set in each of his last two rounds at Wimbledon, and did the same in four of his seven wins at Rolland Garros.

Taylor Fritz vs Karen Khachanov – Over 4.5 Sets (5/2)

If there is one match in the men’s quarter-final lineup that’s likely to go the distance, it is Taylor Fritz vs Karen Khachanov.

Both men excel at hitting big serves consistently, making them tough to break. This often leads to tie breaks – Fritz has played five at Wimbledon so far, while Khachanov has played three.

Both players have been involved in two five-set matches each at the championships, showing their willingness to battle it out for the full duration to secure a win.

All these factors make another five-setter on Tuesday highly possible.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to Beat Amanda Anisimova (9/5)

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova has had a remarkable Wimbledon so far, and with recent women’s tournament winners often being surprise picks, the world number 50 feels she has a solid chance of going all the way.

She is an underdog with the bookies again on Tuesday against Amanda Anisimova, but that doesn’t bother the Russian, as she has been the underdog in all four of her matches so far.

Pavlyuchenkova has looked more stable and confident on the grass than her American opponent this week, and her experience as a former Grand Slam finalist could be vital.
