Tennis Odds: Betting on Wimbledon
Writing by bettingfool on Friday, 4 of July , 2008 at 2:07 pm
No big surprises at Wimbledon this week. Venus and Serena Williams each won her semifinal in women’s (or as they still call it across the pond, ladies’) singles action; they’ll meet in Saturday’s final at Centre Court for the third time. Serena took the first two encounters and is a –140 favorite at press time to do it again.
Even ignoring the recent retirements of Justine Henin and Martina Hingis, Wimbledon belongs to the Williams sisters. Their power game is perfect for the grass courts at SW19, although Venus has an even bigger advantage because of her faster serve and longer limbs.
The men were still in the semifinal stage at press time, but it would take a monumental upset to prevent Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal from reaching the final for the third straight year. Federer is the favorite on the futures market at 2-3; Nadal is even money to end Federer’s five-year winning streak on grass.
