Wimbledon Day 8 Tips, Predictions & Best Bets - Can Eala reach first major quarter-final?

Fritz vs Bublik Tips & Prediction

• Fritz simply holds the advantage in every key area in this matchup on grass
• Fritz has won four of the last five meetings between the pair, including two on grass - one of which came via a routine 6-4 6-4 score in Stuttgart a few weeks ago
• Three of Fritz's four wins over Bublik in that period have also come in straight sets
• Bublik has never been beyond the R16 at Wimbledon and has a 3-7 record vs top 10 players at Grand Slams - with all three of those victories coming at Roland Garros
• Fritz has won 10 of his 12 matches on grass this season & is a former Wimbledon semi-finalist, reaching at least the quarter-finals in three of his last four appearances at the tournament

De Minaur vs Cobolli Tips & Prediction

• Just insane value on Cobolli here, with de Minaur holding a 3-13 record vs top 10 players at Grand Slams, while the Aussie has been well below his best over the last few months

Dimitrov vs Fery Tips & Prediction

• Like Dimitrov in this spot against the inexperienced Fery
• Fery had medical timeouts in his second and third round matches, the latter of which was a four-hour, five-set tussle with Bergs
• Now, Fery is into his first major R16 and will be playing on Centre Court for the first time - that's a lot to take in after a huge week
• Dimitrov meanwhile is as experienced as they come and is a former Wimbledon semi-finalist
• The Bulgarian has recovered from his heartbreaking injury at Wimbledon last year when he was leading Sinner by two sets, toppling Berrettini and Mensik on his way to the fourth round

Paolini vs Eala Tips & Prediction

• Eala has registered various eye-catching results since bursting onto the scene last year, but her win over defending champion Swiatek in the previous round was arguably the pick of the bunch
• The 21-year-old has won 22 matches over the last couple of years on grass, including making the Eastbourne final last year and the Berlin semi-finals a few weeks ago - she's at her best on the lawns
• Eala has beaten three top 20 players on grass this swing and defeated Paolini in straight sets in their only previous clash in Dubai earlier this year
• Paolini has been having a tough year - in fact, this is the first time she's won three consecutive matches in 2026
• The Italian has a 2-3 record in the R16 at slams and while she has found a bit of form at this tournament, the former Wimbledon finalist appears up against it here
