However, that will have to wait as there is betting value on the board for Monday's matches.

Bianca Andreescu is one of the most talented and important players on the circuit, as she's a Grand Slam champion.
Unfortunately, she's had so many problems with injuries that she's no longer in the world's top 100.
At Wimbledon, she had to play in the qualifiers, and I think these results will give her great self-confidence.
She's a favorite on Monday, and most importantly for this bet, she has a good serve and posts aces at a consistent rate.
In the qualifiers, she served 10 against Jil Teichmann and two against Aliaksandra Sasnovich.
Shuai Zhang is an interesting athlete who can cause problems on grass. She's modest on the return and allows many aces. She received nine in the failure against Karolina Muchova and then 11 in the defeat against Elena-Gabriela Ruse.
I therefore believe that Andreescu will serve at least three aces.
Pick: Bianca Andreescu Serves 3+ Aces
Iva Jovic vs Jaqueline Cristian Odds

| Jacqueline Cristian Odds | +374 |
| Over/Under | 19.5 (-120o / -120u) |

At just 18 years old, Iva Jovic was impressive throughout the grass swing, reaching the semifinals at the WTA 500 (Queen’s) while securing a massive victory over a top-five player in the world in fellow American Amanda Anisimova.
Upon watching Jovic rip through consecutive grass tournaments in impressive fashion, I placed a futures wager on the American youngster to win Wimbledon at +6600.
Jovic boasts an aggressive, baseline-oriented style with an uncanny ability to take the ball on the rise, which allows her to control the pace of rallies and apply massive pressure on her opponents.
Jovic has a relentless attack with heavy groundstrokes, using deep and penetrating shots to open up the court and dictate the pace of play. While the American has a very aggressive style of play, she does so in a very tactical manner, aiming for winners on every single return.
Like the American, Cristian has a very favorable skillset for the grass court conditions at Wimbledon as well. At 5-foot-11, the Romanian has a massive frame with a very effective power forehand and a two-handed backhand that she hits with elite precision.
The 28-year-old also boasts an extremely aggressive net-play approach with excellent touch to finish points. Cristian’s size allows her to implement a huge high-bouncing serve into her skillset, which is extremely impactful on Wimbledon’s slick grass surface.
Though Cristian is very comfortable playing on grass, Jovic is the far superior all-court player, with exceptional versatility in her shot selection and ability to finish points very quickly.
While I definitely expect the Romanian to be a very difficult first round draw, I ultimately expect Jovic to get the job done in straight sets at -180 juice, and I would be far from surprised if the American makes a deep run into the later rounds in London.
Pick: Iva Jovic -1.5 Sets (-180)
