Wimbledon day nine recap, day ten picks, acca tips and odds
DIRECT ANSWER: The smartest “order play wimbledon today” approach is to treat day nine as the setup and day ten as the betting window: Racing Post’s headline tips back Taylor Fritz to beat Alexander Zverev, Arthur Fery to stay close on a +5.5 games start, and two women’s matches to go long on total games.
Key Takeaways
- Racing Post’s day-ten card: Fery +5.5 games, Fritz to win, and two overs (total odds 16-5 for the acca).
- Fritz vs Zverev is priced tight: Sports Illustrated cites near pick’em odds but still leans Fritz based on form, matchup history, and rest.
- Day nine narrative: Racing Post framed Djokovic and Sinner as on track for a potential blockbuster meeting.
- “Bizarre World” twist: a mainstream trading app now lists set-by-set tennis prediction markets, showing how hyper-specific sports wagering has become.
What happened on Wimbledon day nine, and why does it matter?
Racing Post’s day nine preview said the men’s draw had largely behaved, with world number one Jannik Sinner and seven-time champion Novak Djokovic “on course” for a potential semi-final collision. In the same package, it suggested Djokovic could “battle past” Felix Auger-Aliassime to keep that path alive, and it also built an accumulator around outcomes like Sinner winning 3–0 and Osaka beating Muchova.
Why it matters for day ten: the quarterfinals compress everything. Form, fatigue, and tiny matchup edges get amplified—exactly the kind of conditions tipsters try to exploit when building an acca.

What are the best Wimbledon day ten predictions, acca tips and odds?
Racing Post’s “day ten predictions, acca tips and odds” card (published July 7, 2026) lists four core plays for Wednesday’s quarterfinal slate:
Arthur Fery +5.5 games vs Flavio Cobolli (7-10), Taylor Fritz to beat Alexander Zverev (8-11), over 20.5 games in Marta Kostyuk vs Jasmine Paolini (7-10), and over 21.5 games in Linda Noskova vs Elise Mertens (4-6, general). It also strings the non-moneyline legs into a day-ten acca at total odds of 16-5.
Racing Post’s logic, in brief: Fery’s home-crowd angle and fighting chance versus market expectations; Fritz as a live threat despite Zverev’s status; and two women’s matchups where siding with a long total-games battle is preferred to simply picking a favorite.
Should you back Taylor Fritz or Alexander Zverev in the quarters?
Sports Illustrated frames Fritz vs Zverev as essentially a pick’em, listing Fritz at -111 and Zverev at -109, with a total of 44.5 games (over -115/under -125). Even with that tight pricing, SI’s pick is Fritz moneyline (-111), arguing “all signs point to Fritz advancing.”
SI’s reasoning leans on three points it explicitly states: Fritz has dropped only one set in the tournament, he already beat Zverev on grass this year, and there’s a “massive rest advantage” because Zverev had to finish his prior match on Tuesday before turning around for Wednesday.
Why is a Robinhood set-by-set market part of this story?
In a very 2026 twist, Robinhood’s prediction markets page offers contracts on granular outcomes like “Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Novak Djokovic: Set 4 Winner” for the Wimbledon men’s quarterfinal originally scheduled July 7. The page explains the basic mechanics: correct contracts can pay $1 each, you can close before resolution, and delays can keep markets open (up to two weeks) while retirements/cancellations can trigger fair-price settlement rules.
