Popular Wimbledon Odds

Wimbledon odds are one of four Grand Slam tennis betting events. The others are the Australian Open, French Open and U.S. Open. A player that wins all four events in a single year wins the Grand Slam. Only two men have ever done it (Don Budge and Rod Laver). A total of five women have won the Grand Slam (Maureen Connolly, Margaret Smith Court, Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova and Serena Williams.

Wimbledon odds in 2009 are heavily tilted towards four players, two on the men’s side and two on the women’s side. Five time champion Roger Federer is a slight favorite over last year’s winner, Rafael Nadal in Wimbledon odds on the men’s side. Serena Williams is a very small favorite against her sister Venus on the women’s side in Wimbledon odds. There are some longshots worth consideration on both the men’s and women’s side including fan favorite Andy Murray on the men’s side and former champion Maria Sharapova on the women’s side.

As you consider Wimbledon odds there are two basic options. You can bet on a player to win the event before it starts in Wimbledon betting odds. These are called futures bets and are where you pick a player to win the entire event in Wimbledon odds. Your other option is the matchup in Wimbledon odds. These go right along with the Wimbledon matches although in the early rounds you probably won’t see matchups between someone like Serena Williams and the 100th ranked player in the world since the Wimbledon odds would be ridiculously high. Matchups start to appear at online sports betting sites with the quarterfinals, since that is when the action gets more competitive and the Wimbledon betting odds more attractive to online betting gamblers.

Matchups have become popular in Wimbledon odds in recent years especially since Federer and Nadal have dominated men’s tennis while Serena and Venus have been strong on the women’s side. Matchups can sometimes offer a little more value at online sports betting sites in terms of Wimbledon betting odds.
