A Sports Betting Pick by FirstDown
Tennis : Wimbledon Fourth Round
Monday 6th July 2026 - Scheduled 3:30pm (British Time)
Preview
Last year, Jannik Sinner won the Wimbledon Title, but the Italian would be the first to admit that he had one foot and four toes out of the tournament in the Fourth Round.
In July 2025, Jannik Sinner was two sets down and looking lost for ideas in the third set against Grigor Dimitrov before an awful injury forced the Bulgarian to withdraw from the match.
It is an injury that has cost Grigor Dimitrov several months of his career and that is highlighted by the fact that he entered Wimbledon as the World Number 146.
Matching the run from the 2025 Wimbledon tournament means Grigor Dimitrov has not really made a big impact in his overall Ranking, but there is no doubt that the player and his team feel like he is changing the narrative around this event from a personal level. Instead of being the tournament where an injury could have almost ended the career, Grigor Dimitrov has rediscovered some of his very best tennis and he will believe he is a threat to reach a maiden Grand Slam Final.
Grigor Dimitrov needed five sets to get the better of Matteo Berrettini in the Third Round, but he only spent a little over three and a half hours on the court and the opening two matches were won while dropping a single set. His confidence is growing on his return to the grass on the main courts here at Wimbledon and Dimitrov is beloved by the fans.
However, that may not be completely the case on Monday when the Bulgarian takes on the last British player left in the Singles draw and Arthur Fery has made a run that has come out of left field, which is going to really boost the fans behind him.
At 23 years old, Arthur Fery was given an opportunity with Wild Cards into a couple of warm up events and he made use of those by reaching the Quarter Final at Queen's Club and then winning one match in Eastbourne. A Semi Final run at a Challenger event earlier in the summer gave Arthur Fery some real confidence and belief, and that has been used to help him overcome opponents, and nosebleeds, on the way through to the Fourth Round.
He is another player that needed five sets to get through the Third Round, but Arthur Fery has settled onto the courts here having previously had a 1-3 record in the main draw at Wimbledon before the 2026 tournament began.
Arthur Fery has nothing to lose, but he is heading onto Centre Court and that is another challenge for an inexperienced player.
Serving well is key, but Grigor Dimitrov has also been serving very well and his added experience is expected to be a factor in favour of the the veteran.
It should be a really vibrant atmosphere on Centre Court on Monday and it should be a fun match to watch, but Grigor Dimitrov is expected to come through in three or four sets as Arthur Fery enjoys his moment in the limelight and with a real chance to build going forward.
Prediction
Lay the sets with the former top ten player as the veteran Grigor Dimitrov uses all of his experience to edge out Arthur Fery.
The Pick :
Grigor Dimitrov 3-1 Arthur Fery
