WIMBLEDON TENNIS BETTING – BET ON THE 2008 WIMBLEDON TENNIS

Will a Brit win Wimbledon?

British Men Wimbledon Betting
British number one, and world number eleven, Andy Murray insisted that withdrawing from the Artois championships was the correct decision. Due to play Andy Roddick in the quarter-finals, he was anxious to preserve his prospects of playing at Wimbledon. He missed last year’s Championships with a wrist injury, but is confident that the thumb injury incurred in his 3rd round win over Ernest Gulbis will not affect his prospects for this year. In the Wimbledon tennis betting, Murray is a best-priced 33/1 with sportingbet. Betfair’s 54/1 is a better reflection of his chances, but even that makes no appeal. Murray will be joined in the men’s singles by Aleksa Bogdanovic…

Tennis Betting: Who’s going to win Wimbledon?

WHO WILL WIN WIMBLEDON?

Men’s Singles

Always an exciting tournament, the 2008 men’s singles Championships could potentially be the most memorable in recent years.

Roger Federer was last beaten on the grass courts of the All England Club by Mario Ancic in the first round of the 2002 Championships. Subsequently, he has been undefeated in 35 Wimbledon matches, the score being
102 – 8 in sets and 671 – 394 in games. This remarkable run of success has brought Federer to the brink of a record sixth consecutive title. However, though apparently unstoppable at Wimbledon, Federer has had a disappointing 2008, suffering unexpected defeats at the hands of Andy Murray, Mardy Fish, Andy Roddick and Radek Stepanek. As a result, he has eased considerably in the Wimbledon…

Men’s Semis at the French Open

Rafael Nadal beat off Navak Djokovic 6-4 6-2 7-6 (7-3) to secure hi splace in the final. At times, Nadal must have thought he was the only player on the court as he dominated the match so much. It looked as though he could pick any place on the court to hit the ball, and there it weent, brilliant.
