Best Wimbledon Bets Today (Sinner-Alcaraz Headlines Opening Round of 16 Matches)

Our time across the pond is winding down as the Round of 16 kicks off on Sunday. We're getting high-profile matches, which means that it's Titan vs. Titan. Even with just a few matches to sift through, BetSided has you covered through all of it.

Here are Donnavan Smoot's and Reed Wallach's best bets for Sunday's Round of 16.

All odds listed are via WynnBET.

Jannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz Prediction and Pick

Alcaraz had a tough time navigating his first round opponent against Jan-Lennard Struff, but has won his past two matches in straight sets. Sinner should be up to the task, who has faced tougher competition en route to the Round of 16, knocking off big-serving John Isner in straights as well as Mikael Yme and Stan Wawrinka.

Given that Alcaraz has limited form on grass, I'm still not sold on him beating elite competition and covering such a wide moneyline. Sinner is also relatively unproven on this surface, but the difference shouldn't be as great as this number indicates.

I'll take a shot on Sinner on the games spread in a match that is shaping up to be a long, competitive match between two rising stars.

LEAN: Sinner +4.5 (-110)

Elise Mertens vs. Ons Jabeur Prediction and Pick

Mertens won the first match in straight sets, but I don’t think this time will be as easy for her. Jabeur has won each of her matches this tournament in straight sets. The World No. 2 is winning 72% of her service games this year and converting on over 50% of potential break points. 

For Mertens, she’ll have another big hill to climb. She upset Angelique Kerber in the third round in straight sets and now has to pull off another upset. She’s looked good in her matches thus far, despite going to three sets in two of them. 

I think both of these players are playing well right now and will hold their own. Jabeur is dominating, but as we saw last year, she can be pushed by Mertens. – Donnavan Smoot
