SkySports tennis commentator James Buttler looks at Sunday's tennis action and picks his Wimbledon winners.
A Wimbledon Centre Court Sunday Treble
PICK 1: The first match on Centre Court sees the defending champion in the men's, Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, the no.3 seed, who plays Ugo Humbert, the 16th seed from France. Humbert is playing really nice tennis., but I don't think he can win. I do think he can take a set off Alcaraz. Alcaraz to go through 3-1 in sets is 11/4.
PICK 2: Then it is Emma Raducanu, the only Brit left in either singles draw. She had to withdraw from the mixed doubles with Andy Murray, unfortunately, on Saturday. She was trying to protect a sore wrist, very much with this singles match in mind. Raducanu takes on Lulu Son, the New Zealander. These are two players ranked outside of the top 100. Lulu Son is no.123 in the world and Raducanu no.135. Son came through qualification and I think this is her ceiling. Raducanu, she's really enjoying her tennis, she has a big match temperament and she loves Centre Court. So, for Raducanu to romp through in straight sets is 4/7.
PICK 3: Finally on Centre Court, Emma Navarro is having a very good Wimbledon and has been playing some serious grass court tennis in recent weeks. She could trouble Coco Gauff, the American no.2 seed, who has a real chance of lifting the trophy. I don't think she goes out to Navarro. They've met once before on the hard courts of Auckland at the start of the season and Gauff won 6-3, 6-1. I think this could be closer and Navarro has the game at the moment to take a set off Gauff. I don't think she derails Gauff's title challenge, but I think if the American goes through, she goes through 2-1 in sets. That is a 3/1 shot.
That's a treble of 21.3/1. You could play the permutations, you could play the singles, but enjoy your tennis on Sunday.
Please gamble responsibly. I'll see you again ahead of Monday.
