Predicted Winners in BOLD Grigor Dimitrov VS (2) Stan Wawrinka – Grigor appears to be playing much better than some of his earlier 2016 form.

Borna Coric VS (3) Rafael Nadal – Coric won a gut-check match last evening after…

Wimbledon 2016: 8 Final Thoughts
Why 8? Why Not? Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber staged a final in which one player played quite well and the other played even better. In their Australian Open final earlier this year, Kerber and Williams combined to break serve 3 times in a 10 game first set. Over 21 games, there were only 2…
Wimbledon 2016: Andy Murray vs. Milos Raonic Championship Prediction
