ATP Tournament at Wimbledon, Quarterfinals on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, 2:00 p.m.
Do you know the famous 2007 movie “The Best Comes Last”? That’s pretty much how Jan-Lennard Struff’s career has gone. At the tender age of 36, the Warstein native is reaching his first Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Unfortunately, my preferred bet on Sinner vs. Struff is still a tough one for the underdog. At odds of around 1.47, I’m selecting the 3-0 result in favor of Sinner from Betano Sportsbook’s offerings—and I’m doing so without hesitation!
The South Tyrolean is back in his groove and has already won all three of their previous head-to-head matches. “Struffi,” on the other hand, will inevitably run into physical problems, as three of his last four grueling matches alone went to a fifth set.
Sinner vs. Struff AI Predictions:
A combo bet currently offering odds of 3.63 at Betano—instead of the 3.30 generally available on the markets—involves the one-click combo: Over 0.5 tiebreaks & Sinner wins sets 1 and 2.
Admittedly, the tiebreak part is the most difficult aspect of this Sinner vs. Struff tip, but the Warsteiner native has already made it to a so-called “decider” a whopping nine times in this tournament so far.
Predicted Chance of Winning:
| Sinner to win |
Struff to win |

Precisely because the German is currently fighting like a gladiator and defeated Medvedev 3-0 just a few days ago, it’s not unthinkable that he’ll rise to the occasion again—at least at times.
I still don’t believe that will happen, though, since in my Sinner vs. Struff prediction I’m expecting the South Tyrolean to win in straight sets; but after all, grass is the only surface on which the German has ever taken a set from the defending champion.
Consequently, I can understand if some of you would like to take a chance on the “Set Winner: Struff” bet. After all, the odds of 2.42 offered by Bwin for this bet at least don’t have a negative expected value.
