Taylor Fritz vs Karen Khachanov prediction from SBR's Gary Pearson for their Wimbledon quarterfinal match on Tuesday, July 8th:
Pick to win: Taylor Fritz 3-1 (+250 via FanDuel)
"Khachanov is undefeated against Fritz entering their quarterfinal showdown, having won both previous meetings. Those matches were five and six years ago, though, so don't take too much stock in the Russian's superiority.
At that time, Fritz, featured in our Wimbledon sleeper picks and long shots, had never advanced past the third round of a major. Compare that to his recent record, where he finished second at last year's US Open and advanced to this stage at the most recent edition of Wimbledon.
In addition, Fritz is flying on grass, winning at the Boss Open and at Eastbourne in the lead-up. Most of our best sports betting apps offer +240 odds for a 3-1 Fritz win, with FanDuel atop the perch at +250. "
