Venus Williams’ Edge (-165)
For Williams to continue her brilliant form against Shvedova, she will need to bring the action to the Kazakh and continue her solid net play. She won 14 of her 21 net points against Suarez Navarro in the fourth round. Williams has won 67 percent of her total net points (82-of-123) in this year’s Wimbledon Championships thus far.
Experience will also play a major factor for Williams in this last-eight clash against Shvedova. This will be her 12th quarterfinal appearance at the All England Club. Shvedova, on the other hand, is through to the Wimbledon quarters for just the first time in her career. Look for Williams’ experience to shine through against Shvedova today on Court No. 1.
Williams is 8-2 in her last 10 matches.
Yaroslava Shvedova’s Edge (+135)
For Shvedova to grab a shock result against Williams, she will need to continue her excellent play on the service end. Shvedova put into play 71 percent of her first serves in her fourth-round win against Lucie Safarova with the Kazakh winning an incredible 81 percent of those said points. Shvedova also excelled with her second serve, winning 7 of 15 points in those situations. That was a welcome development for Shvedova who converted just three of her 13 break point opportunities against Safarova.
For Shvedova to continue her giant-killing ways against Williams, she will need to continue her highly-efficient play in the quarterfinals. Shvedova hit 26 winners and committed just 10 unforced errors in her upset win against Safarova. She’s averaging 25.3 winners in this tournament thus far.
Shvedova is 5-5 in her last 10 matches.
