Play in the 1/8 finals of WTA Wimbledon will continue on Monday. The tournament seemed wide open at first, and now it’s more open than ever with all three top seeds eliminated. Arina Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek left. They packed their bags and left the All England Club. None of them reached the quarterfinals. Eight players have a chance to reach the quarter-finals on Monday and they know that if they get there, none of the big names will be waiting for them. This is a real opportunity to go very deep at Wimbledon and compete for a major championship. This adds excitement and importance to these matches. LWOS has the best bet for two matches. Post your best bets and thoughts in the comments.

Paolini – Ila: 8:30 EST.
H2H: 0-1
Jasmine Paolini will take on Alexandra Ila at Wimbledon in her second career match. The two met earlier this year at the WTA tournament in Dubai, which Ila won in straight sets, although the second set went to a tiebreaker. Paolini is a former Wimbledon finalist. She reached the final in 2024, losing to Barbora Krejcikova in a three-set classic. Paolini knows what it’s like to come within sets of a Wimbledon title and ultimately lose. Ila has only played in two Wimbledon tournaments and had never made it past the first round before this year. She now finds herself the favorite heading into the match against Paolini, not only as the lower-ranked player in the tournament itself, but also as the lower-ranked player in the world rankings. Really weird.
Best bet
Ila is a book favorite and quite versatile. Not only is Eala 12-3 on grass in 2026, she also holds a WTA grass title in Birmingham and reached the WTA semi-finals in Berlin. Paolini is 3-1 on grass, with all of her wins coming at Wimbledon. Also the fact is that in general she is 15-12 years old, and Ila is 31-17. Ela is now playing better, sharper and more purposeful than Paolini. Honestly, it feels like Paolini can’t be bothered, and as a result I feel like Ila deserves a lot more credibility as a choice. You can make money by picking Ila directly, but if you believe in her abilities, betting on the right result will take you much further – 2.55 on Interwetten.
At the same time, betting on Ela to win 2-0 is definitely an overpriced bet.
Value bet/best odds: Ela wins 2:0 at 2.55 @Interwetten

Keys – Noskova: time 10:00 EST.
H2H: 0-0
Our final Wimbledon match of the morning is Madison Keys vs. Linda Noskova. Keys was problem for people lately. She is 9-1 in her last ten matches and will have to win the Eastbourne tournament ahead of Wimbledon. She has won eight matches in a row, has 10 overall wins on grass and just one loss. However, Linda Noskova is no slouch. Noskova is 8-2 in her last ten matches and won the WTA title in Berlin. She has eight wins on grass compared to one loss. Both women have one tournament title each in 2026 and have similar overall records.
Best bet
Despite being the lower seeded and ranked player in this matchup, Keys considers herself the favorite, along with Alexandra Ila. I’m wondering if this happens often. This year, Keys is 29-10, and Noskova is 25-11. The average line is about 1.67-2.21 in Keys’ favor, and I’m sure that has something to do with her winning streak and overall recent play. I do think Keys is the better player here, but I fully recognize Noskova’s talent. Thus, I think taking Keys right away at 1.72 is the smartest move. Don’t be fooled by the possibilities when you can make a handsome profit from a simple bet. You know I like things to be simple.
At the same time, Betting on Keys to win is certainly a profitable bet.
Value Bet/Best Odds: Key Win @1.72 @1xBet
