Simona Halep v Amanda Anismova
Simona Halep -3.5 Games ($1.72)
The last two times these two have met Halep has won 6-0 6-1 and 6-2 6-1, the most recent at Homburg on grass this year. Halep has not dropped a set this Wimbledon – she has not even gone to a tiebreaker – with her 4th Round win coming 6-1 6-2. She should advance with ease.

Chrisitan Garin v Nick Kyrgios
Christian Garin +5.5 Games ($1.72)
The difference between these two – Kyrgios ranked 40 and Garin 43 – is much closer than betting suggests. Garin did roll Alex De Minaur in the 4th round, a big scalp. Kyrgios has dropped at least one set in three of four and had two five-setters including against Brandon Nakashima last start. Garin looks value.

Taylor Fritz v Rafael Nadal
Taylor Fritz +4.5 Games ($1.80)
Fritz and Nadal have played twice with each winning one apiece. Fritz won the last meeting, at Indian Wells this year, in straight sets. Nadal remains at an elite level but big hitting players like Fritz are the ones that cause him trouble now. Fritz has not dropped a set at Wimbledon and looks to be on the verge of something big.
