The second round of Wimbledon concludes from the All England Club on Thursday, July 3.
For Day 4 at Wimbledon, I'm targeting two matches on the men's side: Grigor Dimitrov vs Corentin Moutet and Jack Draper vs Marin Cilic.
Continue below to find my two Wimbledon predictions for Day 4 on Thursday.
Wimbledon Day Predictions, Odds (Day 4)
Grigor Dimitrov vs Corentin Moutet Odds
Grigor Dimitrov Odds | -220 |
Corentin Moutet Odds | +170 |
Over/Under | 39.5 (-115o / -120u) |

Frenchman Coretin Moutet showed he's moved past the ghost of inconsistency in his first-round match, disarming the tenacious Francisco Comesaña in a solid 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 takedown.
While never the uncompromising performer — the Frenchman wowed fans at the stadium with a between-the-legs drop shot that even had his rival clapping — he was solid on the baseline and only pushed at the right moments.
Moutet comes across as a Grigor Dimitrov who is a bit of a question mark at this point in the season. The Bulgarian former world No. 3 canceled his preparation for Wimbledon, withdrawing from Queen's as he still suffered pain from the thigh problem that saw him drop out of Roland Garros.
He moved past Yoshihito Nishioka in straight sets, but having not faced top competition since the Madrid Open, there are more questions than answers.
There's little reason to think Moutet is bound to go off the rails now. The Frenchman is fresh off a Mallorca final appearance, and also shocked third-seed Taylor Fritz in Queen's the week before.
Moutet is 2-0 up on Dimitrov on the head-to-head, including a win in Wimbledon the first time the two met, in 2019. I back him to make it 3-0.
Pick: Corentin Moutet ML (+175 via via DraftKings)
Jack Draper vs Marin Cilic Odds
Jack Draper Odds | -900 |
Marin Cilic Odds | +550 |
Over/Under | 35.5 (-125o / -110u) |
Time | How to Watch | Thursday, 10:20 a.m. ET | ESPN |

Home hero Jack Draper started solidly on what's supposed to be one of the toughest trips to the final by any of the seeded players.
The Brit was comfortably in control even before Sebastian Baez suffered the slip that forced him him to retire from the match. A semifinalist in Queen's and playing his best tennis, there's big hopes for Draper at the AELTC.
He'll have a struggling Marin Cilic in front of him.
The Croat, a finalist in 2017, is far from his best form, and he did all of his preparation for the tournament at the ATP Challenger-level. He won the final of the Nottingham II tournament, but was ousted fairly quickly at Ilkley.
Cilic beat Belgian youngster Raphael Collignon comfortably, but Draper will be the first top-tier talent he'll face since falling to Felix Auger-Aliassime in February.
Cilic remains a solid server and complete player, but Draper should push past him without issues.
Pick: Under 35.5 (-110 via DraftKings)
