After ‘Manic Monday’ provided the shock of Wimbledon so far as Gilles Muller beat Rafael Nadal in an epic 15-13 final set, we settle down for a civilised day of women’s quarter-final action.
Novak Djokovic and Adrian Mannarino are also tagging along after Wimbledon organisers decided not to put them on Centre Court on Monday, but there’s no interest for me there with the Serb just 4/11 to win in straight-sets against the fatigued Frenchman.
Instead, with profits still in the bank from Saturday's 7/1 Federer 7-6 first set winner, we’re going for a favourites Tuesday treble.
First up the have the most solid leg in the Garbine Muguruza, who produced a big performance to oust world No 1 Angelique Kerber, to see off Svetlana Kuznetsova.
The Spaniard has won their last three meetings and the grass-courts should only aid her attacking play, which delivered 54 winners on Monday.
She's 8/13 to progress and 6/4 to do so in straight-sets, so I’ll be going for the latter in the hope that, aided by the confidence of Monday’s big win, she comes out of the blocks quickly.
Venus Williams is slightly longer odds at 7/4 to win in straight-sets as she faces French open champion Jelena Ostapenko second on Centre Court.
I was initially wary of taking on the 20-year-old given we’re still learning about her and the way she passed a real test of nerve in beating the robust Simona Halep at Roland Garros.
However, a flick through her big wins of 2017 and a clear pattern emerges; the task of breaking down defensive players suits her perfectly.
The great retriever Caroline Wozniacki knows that all too well, having lost all three of their meetings, while fourth seed Elina Svitolina only offered up 14 winners in their Monday meeting.
In contrast, more attacking players have had far more joy against the youngster, with both of the Pliskova sisters taking her down, while Johanna Konta prevailed in their recent Eastbourne meeting.
Venus has both the weapons and mentality to cope with the youngster and gets the next tick on the list.
Last but certainly not least is history-maker Konta, who has dealt with the pressure of being Britain’s best female hope of a Wimbledon title since 1977 impressively.
Dealing with pressure is something her opponent Halep hasn’t coped with so well, with her French Open final loss the latest in a string of failures to convert expectation into major success.
That means that the prospect of becoming Romania’s first ever world No 1 is good news for Konta given that status would be secured with a win on Tuesday.
The Brit has also won both of their meetings and is better suited to grass with her superior weapons, although given both clashes have gone the distance I’ll dodge the set betting here and just take the win at 10/11.
