Both players are in good form and won their first round matches 3-0.
Del Potro played a semifinal here a few years ago, losing to Djokovic.
Lopez likes to play on grass, it is his favourite surface.
H2H is 4-3 to Del Potro.
I think we should have a long match.
Bet: over 40 games @1.82

I'm afraid to take these two bets because:Pierrebal wrote: Federer under 28.5 games 9/10, and Anderson to win 7/10.
1. Mannarino is good on grass, it's his preferred surface. In an interview he said he will try to beat Federer.
Yes, h2h is crushing in favour of Fed.
2. Monfils is 5-0 up against Anderson. Ok, none of them on grass, but he has just beaten another big server, Querrey, who also plays well on grass.
I'll see how I feel later, may be I'll still follow you here

Bertens / Goerges - 9/10 match.
Bertens, been very consistent with only one match against Venus going to a third set tie break - she has hit 28 aces so far - third highest.
Goerges, similar to Bertens although having dropped one set more, she has hit 42 aces, highest in the tournament.
Head to head, Bertens leads 2-0, although both games were on clay.
I've been reading to the previews and all points to a tight match with both good at defending their own serve (and hitting aces) - main pick over 21.5 games 7/10 and smaller interest over 10.5 games first set 23/10.
Kasatkina 17/10 v Kerber 9/20
Kasatkina, has gotten through fairly easily, only dropping one set. Kerber has a similar record and both ladies completed their matches yesterday. Head to head, is 3-3 all, with the most recent meeting (and only on grass) being a couple of weeks with Kerber winning over three sets.
This match is screaming for overs, and over 20.5 @ 7/10 looks good, with a small bet on a three set match 27/20.
Williams 1/5 v Giorgi 67/20
Williams has been impressive so far not dropping a set, whereas Giorgi has dropped two. Head to head, Williams also leads 3-0 and all points towards another win for her. To be honest I've never seen Giorgi play and from what I read she blows hot and cold and is very unpredictable.
Picking Serena to win in two sets should be the logical option here but the game lines 13/20 over 19.5 / 23/20 under 19.5 suggest a closer match. Taking a tentative Giorgi +4.5 games @ 19/20.
Cibulkova 11/10 v Ostapenko 7/10
Both ladies came made it to the quarter finals without dropping a set. Cibulkova leads the head to head 2-0 (one of grass) - Ostapenko won the tournament at Eastbourne which probably makes the favourite.
Betting suggests another tight one and this time I'm going to stay away from the games and back Ostapenko outright to win @ 7/10. Think she brings in a lot of momentum and is due a win against Cibulkova since she the loss in grass at the age of 19.

Serena @1.20 is a bit high for the kind of favourite she is, so I'm going for Giorgi +4.5 as well.

Men's quarters today
Federer 1/14 v Anderson 29/4
Federer has won 32 sets in a row, never lost serve, and only faced four break points this year. Anderson has had to fight in each match he has played and the last was over three hours, four sets, 51 games, and three tie-breaks.
Head to head Federer leads 4-0, all won in straight sets, with closest Anderson coming was going down 5-7 in a set. For me Anderson is a one-trick pony, he has a strong serve and not much variation after that.
I am going for decent strike on under 32.5 games 23/20 - I can't see Anderson's serve or holding 5 / 6 consecutive serves against Federer.
Djokovic 1/8 v Nishikori 19/4
Djokovic has had a very good tournament, dropping only one set - his matches averaging 27.75 games. Nishikori has had to fight hard with three of his four matches going to four sets.
Head to head, Djokovic leads 14-2 and you have to go back to 2014 for a Nishikori win.
Total games is set at 35.5 - I think this is way to high and implies at two tie breaks or four sets (2/1 quote). So I will be going under 35.5 @ 15/20
Raonic 13/20 v Isner 12/10
Both players have had similar run to the quarters with both players dropping sets twice. Isner leads in aces with 135 and has not lost a serve, Raonic is rated second in aces with 117.
They've met four times in the past with Isner winning in three occasions.
The bookies expect a long match with games set at 46.5 and four sets lowest at 15/10. I think this is a match for in-play, but for a small bet I'm going for the first set not to end in a tie-break - under 12.5 games 7/4.
Nadal 7/20 v Del Potro 21/10
Nadal has breezed through the tournament, winning all matches in straight sets at an average of 27 games per match. Del Potro also started by winning all his matches in three sets until the last 16 match which ran over 2 days, 4.5 hours, and four sets with three tie-breaks.
Head to head Nadal leads 10-5, with the most recent match in the French Open SF, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2. Although Clay is Nadal's domain, the French Open followed a similar pattern for Del Potro with a very long quarter final against Cilic only to go down quickly against Nadal.
Games are set at 40.5 and I think that will be too much against a well rested and on form Nadal. Going under 40.5 @ 8/10
Cheers

Both players come into this match in great form.
Kerber lost only one set so far, while Ostapenko won all 5 matches in straight sets.
Kerber has 41 wins this season.
Ostapenko lost only 32 games in her 5 matches here, the fewest of all four players left in the competition.
Kerber needed 7 match points to beat Kasatkina.
I think this is going to be a long one and Ostapenko will at least keep it close.
Bet 1: Over 21.5 games @1.82
Bet 2: Ostapenko +3.5 @1.83

These two players met recently at the French Open.
Serena won 2-0 in 1hr 16 min.
While she's been playing better and better since her return, and is in a familiar position on familiar territory, for Goerges is something entirely different, as it is the first time that she got so far at a Grand Slam tournament.
Bet: Williams (-1.5 sets) @1.78

I got rolled yesterday in the end - was already counting money with Federer on match point.
Following you on both in the Ostapenko game - really rate her. As for Williams I went against her in the last round and she started slowly, Görges has a mean serve but don't think she can win but will take some service games. Think I'm going to take her on +4.5 games @ 15/20

Was that bet for the 5th set??
What a crazy match!
They have to change this 5th set rule, it's ridiculous...entertaining but ridiculous.
Kevin is going to be stuffed on Sunday!

A beautifully researched punt and, at 5-3 in the 3rd with Andersen serving for the set and the book begging for mercy The Vann hung tough and got his bollocks handed to him on a silver platter:woohoo:Brent Graham wrote:
