Monday’s Wimbledon tips: Federer and Serena seek quarter-finals

Karolina Pliskova to beat Kiki Bertens 2-1 – 11/4

Amazingly, seventh seed Karolina Pliskova is now the highest ranked player in the ladies’ draw.

The Czech Republic ace will be eyeing a second appearance in a slam final, but must get past Kiki Bertens first.

But Bertens has been quietly impressive so far, culminating in a three-set win over former champion Venus Williams. Pliskova has already dropped two sets, and this one could go the distance.

Serena Williams – 5.5 games handicap v Evgeniya Rodina – 8/13

With seeds dropping left, right and centre, the path is opening up nicely for Serena Williams to reach another Wimbledon final.

The American was pushed hard by Kristina Mladenovic last time out, but will be all the better for the encounter.

But she should have little drama in seeing off Russian qualifier Evgeniya Rodina. The 29-year-old is ranked 120 in the world, and has never been beyond the second round of a slam before now.

Novak Djokovic to beat Karen Khachanov 3-1 @ 5/2

One Russian who might cause problems though, is Karen Khachanov. A rising star of the game, the 6ft 6in hitter is up against Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic appeared to rediscover his old form in a thrilling 3-1 win over Kyle Edmund on Saturday.

But like Edmund, Khachanov is a big hitter with a fierce serve and forehand.  Djokovic boasts arguably the best defence in the game but don’t be surprised if the Russian youngster can nab a set early on.
