Wimbledon Predictions: Sania Mirza and Ivan Dodig
Indian tennis star Sania Mirza may not have shined in the singles game, but she has been relatively successful as a doubles and mixed doubles player. In terms of the latter, she has won the Australian Open, French Open, and U.S. Open. However, the 30-year-old is seeking a first mixed double title since 2014. She has teamed up with Croatian Ivan Dodig on two occasions in the Grand Slam tournaments – 2016 French Open and 2017 Australian Open. On both occasions, the pair have ended up as the runners up, but this year most Wimbledon tips back them.
Sania Mirza - Stats & Current Form
The 30-year-old star from India manages to shine when it comes to mixed doubles tournament. However, she has not topped the WTA mixed doubles ranking since 2015. Her Wimbledon doubles odds are attractive for most fans.
Ivan Dodig - Stats & Current Form
The 32-year-old Croatian is yet to win a mixed doubles title, but he has reached the final on two occasions – he partnered Mirza on both occasions. His success in the doubles game came in 2015 when he won the French Open men’s double.
Wimbledon Tips: Heather Watson and Henri Kontinen
Heather Watson from Britain and Henri Kontinen from Finland are considered as amongst the favourites to win the title, as they come in as the reigning mixed doubles champions from the 2016 edition. Wimbledon betting tips favour them. They had an even easier run up into the third round after managing to overcome Nenad Zimonjic and Victoria Azarenka at 6-3, 6-4 in the first round. In the third round, they overcame the pairing of Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Anna-Lena Groenefeld 6-1 and 6-3, beating all Wimbledon doubles odds.
Heather Watson - Stats & Current Form
At Wimbledon 2016, Heather Watson achieved her first ever Grand Slam in any form of the game. She is clearly improving, but her last couple of months had ups and downs, with no consistent evolution, and this could be seen in all Wimbledon betting odds.
Henri Kontinen - Stats & Current Form
Henri Kontinen comes on the back of an incredible year as he managed to win the Wimbledon mixed doubles while also going on to lift the Australian Open men’s doubles. Tennis Predictions
The reigning champions are surprisingly rated at 6/5 for a win, while Mirza/Dodig are at 8/13. Given their comfortable passage into the third round, our betting tip is to back Watson/Kontinen at 6/5.
