Wimbledon Day 5 Best Bets: Raducanu Eyes Upset, Norrie Poised to Advance, Anisimova in Form

Emma Raducanu looks to challenge Aryna Sabalenka, while Cameron Norrie and Amanda Anisimova aim to keep their Wimbledon campaigns rolling on Day 5.

The first week of Wimbledon has already delivered its share of drama, upsets, and breakthrough performances. As the third round unfolds Friday, three marquee matchups headline the day’s slate, and each offers intriguing betting value.

From Emma Raducanu’s high-profile clash with Aryna Sabalenka to Cameron Norrie’s continued home-court push and Amanda Anisimova’s rising Grand Slam form, we break down the Day 5 best bets from the All England Club.

Emma Raducanu +4.5 Games (-110) vs. Aryna Sabalenka

Time: 8:00 a.m. ET (approx.) | Court: Centre Court

British fans were treated to a vintage Raducanu performance in her second-round demolition of 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, and now the 2021 US Open winner steps into an even bigger spotlight.

  • Raducanu looks confident and focused under coach Mark Petchey.

  • Her returns caused problems for Vondrousova and could disrupt Sabalenka’s rhythm, especially early.

  • Sabalenka showed vulnerability in her last round, narrowly escaping against Marie Bouzkova.

Grass hasn’t historically been Sabalenka’s best surface, and while her power can dominate, Raducanu’s patience and court craft are well-suited to neutralizing that aggression.

Backed by a partisan crowd and playing her best tennis in months, Raducanu should be able to keep this one tight — and could even push it to a deciding set.

Pick: Raducanu +4.5 Games (-110)

Cameron Norrie ML (-150) vs. Mattia Bellucci

Time: 11:00 a.m. ET | Court: TBA

Cameron Norrie has reminded fans this week why he was a 2022 semifinalist at SW19. With impressive wins over Roberto Bautista Agut and Frances Tiafoe, the British No. 1 is showing both the grit and poise required for a deep Wimbledon run.

  • Norrie’s movement, counterpunching, and fitness have all been on point through two rounds.

  • Bellucci is a confident young player, but hasn’t faced anyone near Norrie’s level this week.

  • Norrie should thrive in front of a home crowd against an opponent ranked outside the Top 100.

The matchup favors Norrie’s consistency and defensive strength, especially in longer rallies and return games. If he maintains his current level, this is a match he should win in straight or four sets.

Pick: Cameron Norrie ML (-150)

Amanda Anisimova ML (-550) vs. Dalma Galfi

Time: 11:00 a.m. ET | Court: TBA

Amanda Anisimova has long been on the radar as a future Grand Slam champion, and her current form suggests that moment might be near.

  • She has dropped just six games through two rounds at Wimbledon.

  • Reached the Queen’s Club final in the run-up to this event.

  • Already owns a WTA title in 2025, signaling career-best consistency.

While Galfi scored a surprising upset over Beatriz Haddad Maia in the last round, that result came more from a Haddad Maia collapse than Galfi dominance. Anisimova’s shotmaking, especially on grass, looks a cut above right now.

Pick: Amanda Anisimova ML (-550)

Wimbledon Day 5 Best Bets Recap

  • Emma Raducanu +4.5 Games (-110)

  • Cameron Norrie Moneyline (-150)

  • Amanda Anisimova Moneyline (-550)

With a mix of home favorites and emerging contenders, Day 5 at Wimbledon offers several strong betting angles. Whether you’re backing the inspired underdog in Raducanu or riding the form of Anisimova and Norrie, there’s value to be found across the board as we head toward the tournament’s midpoint.
