What a fantastic day at SW19 it was. Lanky South African Kevin Anderson traded triple figures in running as he defended third set match points, yet somehow he found the energy to keep fighting and eventually ground down Federer 13-11 in the 5th.
Then to top off our form, Isner overcame Raonic 3-1.
Anderson to beat Federer at 10/1: WON, 3-2
Isner to beat Raonic at 15/11: WON, 3-1
Anyone backing our selections in a double would have returned £130 to a £5 stake (25/1).

We took a chance on Kasatkina at a price but she was no match for Kerber. Bertens was well backed, being sent off favourite, and it looked good after she took the opening set. Unfortunately she couldn't hold on.
In better news, our outright 50/1 tip Ostapenko cruised past Cibulkova in straight sets to book her place in the Semi-Finals.
Kasatkina to beat Kerber at 19/10: Lost
Bertens to beat Goerges at 1/1: Lost
