Three Exciting Wimbledon Matches

Two of the three exciting Wimbledon matches involve two Americans. As an American I will be glued to court two where [25] Madison Keys and Christopher Eubanks will be playing their fourth round matches. Keys has been to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon before, in 2015. However, she is going to face the upstart Russian teenager, Mirra Andreeva, who is kicking butts and taking names. This could be a big win for the American or total disaster. I will think positive as Keys seems to be playing with something more than simply confidence.

Can Christopher Eubanks Pull Off Another Upset?

Would you have picked Christopher Eubanks to be the last American male standing in singles once the draw came out? I certainly did not. However, grass rewards you if you have a big serve and somehow, Eubanks has figured out the secret to playing and winning on grass. He is riding high on confidence, but will it be enough for him against [5] Stefanos Tsitsipas?

Is Carlos Alcaraz Ready For Matteo Berrettini?

[1] Carlos Alcaraz will have his hands full against the resurgent Italian, Matteo Berrettini. Although Alcaraz leads their head-to-head 2:1, all three matches have gone the distance. Unfortunately, they have never faced each other on grass, which is where the Italian shines. Expect this to be a battle and I am favoring the Italian. He is playing with confidence and Alcaraz is still too immature at this stage on grass to threaten the Italian.
