Super Sunday in July with Wimbledon, UEFA Euro and COPA 2024 finals on tap
Tennis and Soccer in Spotlight of Sports Betting Trifecta
Wagering is no exception to the summertime blues. The dog days often lead to limited sports betting options on the menu. However, Sunday, July 14, is a day sports bettors should savor. There is an International Sports Trifecta of major events to whet everyone’s appetite.
Alcaraz-Djokovic Round II at Wimbledon
In tennis news, there is a dream matchup in the men’s single final at Wimbledon. The grass-court major will feature the second and third seeds, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. This championship tussle is a rematch of the 2023 title match when the Spaniard toppled the Serb in five sets.
Alcaraz enters the match as the favorite in wagering pools. He seeks his second Wimbledon crown and third major overall. Djokovic is no joker as an opponent on the grass. He has won seven titles, and his loss in 2023 ended a string of four straight gentlemen’s championships at the All-England Club.
- This match, when it comes to sports wagering, is far different than the women’s final. On Saturday, Barbora Krejcikova outlasted Jasmine Paolini in three sets. Krejcikova entered the tournament at long odds – 125-1 in some sportsbooks – yet managed to win.
Neither Alcaraz nor Djokovic is anywhere near those long odds and hasn’t been for many years and tournaments. Alcaraz looks to kick off what could be a huge day for Spain sports in this International Sports Trifecta.

UEFA EURO Title Bout Looks Like a Classic
There will be a stunning amount of talent on the pitch in Berlin as England meets Spain for the 2024 UEFA EURO title. As there should be with one of the premier championships at stake.
Harry Kane and England enter as underdogs to a Spanish team that has done the impossible, winning all six of its matches in the tournament.
England manager Gareth Southgate told UEFA.com he likes the way his team has progressed through play.
“There’s no question we’ve improved with the ball,” he said. “We were inhibited at the start of the tournament but we’ve been freer in the last few games. We’ve shown great resilience in coming through a difficult period, a period where many doubted us at home. I’m very proud of the players for how they’ve grown through that experience. And now we are into the history-making possibilities, rather than the fear of what might go wrong.”
The Spanish side boasts an almost incomparable player. At 16, Lamine Yamal has become a threat to score and perform magic on the field. Combining the teen with Dani Olmo and left winger Nico Williams, Spain is dangerous on the attack.
Spain enters as the favorite to lift The Cup. Like any major sporting event, there are numerous options on the betting menu, and those who wager will find something to their taste in this International Sports Trifecta.

COPA AMERICA 2024 Final
The Sunday trifecta concludes in Miami when Colombia and Argentina battle. Colombia comes off a nasty clash with Uruguay in Charlotte that saw the losing squad’s players fighting with Colombian fans in the crowd.
Hopefully, the physicality will stay on the pitch. Expect a hard-fought match with plenty of hits and scoring opportunities. These rivals should come out fiercely at the first whistle.
The first half of these tournament matches has seen frantic play early, and it doesn’t settle much after that.
Lionel Messi and Argentina must be better than James Rodriguez and Colombia. In soccer news, that is no simple task. Colombia is the betting favorite entering the final, and that should rankle the Argentine team and its followers.
The Copa America Final completes a great day of international sports. Get ready to sit down and watch some of the greatest athletes in the world play for the most respected titles. It is quite the triple-scoop Sunday, featuring an exciting International Sports Trifecta.
