Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, has been a top performer this week in London — she has won all four sets played so far, never losing more than three games in any.

Against Maria Sakkari on Thursday, she won 90% of her first-serve points. Rybakina has recorded more than 20 winners in each round.

Rybakina has a powerful serve, but so does her rival Clara Tauson, so any break point in this game could be crucial.

Wimbledon's official site gives Rybakina a 55% chance of advancing. Whoever it is will face the winner of the Iga Swiatek/Danielle Collins match in the Round of 16.

Ranked 22nd in the WTA, Tauson has reached the third round in both Grand Slams of 2025 and is already enjoying her best performance yet at Wimbledon, having never advanced past the opening round before.

Tauson only lost the first set of her debut match this week and won the next four.

Rybakina prevailed in the two previous matchups with Tauson, most recently in a three-set hard-court victory last year and in a straight-sets win on clay in 2019. She should come away the winner here again.

Pick: Under 20.5 (-115 via BetMGM)

This will be their first encounter between Barbora Krejcikova and Emma Navarro.

Navarro comes in as the favorite after cruising in the first two rounds. She beat Petra Kvitova 6-3, 6-1 and then crushed Veronika Kudermetova 6-1, 6-2 in the next round.

The American ranks 10th in the WTA and already reached the quarterfinals last year. In 2019, she also advanced to the semifinals of the Juniors' Wimbledon tournament.

Navarro likes to play from the baseline and get into long rallies to force her opponent to make mistakes. Both previous matches were almost carbon copies: her opponent made 31 or 32 unforced errors, and Navarro only needed 10 winners.

Krejcikova is the opposite type. She is a power-hitter with a good serve and is willing to risk it all on every shot. She is the defending Wimbledon champion, and maybe deserves more respect and attention than the sportsbooks and media have given her, but injuries have limited her since last year.

Krejcikova has only played six matches in 2025 and is still trying to find her rhythm. She went to three sets in the previous two rounds, and could also go the length here, so the over is the best choice for me.

Pick: Over 21.5 (-115 via BetMGM)
