Betting on Wimbledon odds is the crème de la crème of tennis wagering for many sportsbook players, so they’ll be happy to know that (a) Wimbledon starts in just one week and (b) there’s a decent chance that Rafael Nadal will play after all. Let’s look at a few potential men’s picks for the big event.ROGER FEDERER (+119)
Finally, Federer steals some spotlight back from the Spaniard. His French Open win completed the career Grand Slam and tied him with Pete Samprass for the most career Grand Slam titles. One win away from achieving all-time greatness, Federer should be hungrier than ever. His chances to win are the best they’ve been in a while and the sportsbook line reflects that.
ANDY MURRAY (+407)
Does Britain finally have its new hero? Murray ended a 71-year drought for Britons at the Queen’s Club on Sunday and will try to become the first home-grown winner since 1936. He wants to be the man to break Federer and Nadal up in the top two worldwide rankings and a win at Wimbledon would do that – not to mention make anyone betting on him very happy.
RAFAEL NADAL (+435)
Things could be looking up for Rafael Nadal’s chances in tennis betting again. The world No. 1 was expected to miss Wimbledon with a knee injury, one that probably caused his early ouster from the French Open. Reportedly, though, his recovery is going well and he’ll test out the knee at the Hurlingham Club exhibition this Friday. If all goes well, we’ll see Nadal in the tournament. Even if he isn’t at 100 per cent, he’ll be a sportsbook contender.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC (+1000)
Don’t count out the wily Serbian. While 2009 hasn’t been a banner year for him so far, he’s beaten Federer twice. He hasn’t beaten Nadal this season but went to war with him at the Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open, losing the deciding set in what is considered the longest best-of-three-set match in the ATP Open era, so he’s not afraid to tangle with the best, like a tough underdog in boxing betting. Murray, however, owned Djokovic with a straight-sets victory earlier this year, so keep that in mind when sports betting online if they face each other.
