Wimbledon Betting Odds
The
Wimbledon Championships, held at the All England Club since 1877, take place over 2 weeks in late June and early July.
It is the 3rd Grand Slam of the season and the only one still played on the game's original surface, grass, which gave the name of lawn tennis it's name. Current prize money stands at £12,500,000 and is still generally regarded as the most prestigious event in tennis.
Wimbledon betting has captured the imagination of the British public in recent years, largely due to the exploits of Tim Henman and Andy Murray. No British man has won Wimbledon since 1936 but Henman made 4 semi-finals from 1998 to 2002, while Murray was also a semi-finalist in 2009.
However,
Wimbledon betting odds for the mens tournament have been dominated by Roger Federer in recent years. The Swiss has won 6 Championships since 2003 and is currently one short of the all-time record of 7 set by Pete Sampras. The only player from 2003-2009 to beat Federer at
Wimbledon was Rafael Nadal, who won the 2008 final 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7.
Wimbledon womens betting odds are usually very short on the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena. From 2000-2009, 8 of the 10
Wimbledon championships were won by a Williams, while they contested the final against each other on 4 occasions between 2002-2009. While Venus is the most successful current player with 5 titles, she has a long way to go to match Martina Navratilova's all-time record of 9 championships.
