Wimbledon Betting Tips

Wimbledon is soon to return, which means our wonderful nation will rejoice to go tennis mad for a fortnight. Most will be favouring national treasure Andy Murray, with a desperate hope that he can bounce back from a shock second round Queen’s Club loss and secure a third Wimbledon title; a second consecutive title at that.

The Scot ranks as second favourite for the tournament as it stands with reinvigorated Swiss legend Roger Federer coming in at 9/4 favourite with Paddy Power. Murray has had a particularly weak year moving on from 2016’s Wimbledon joy, failing to reach a Grand Slam final since then. A return to grass courts will be welcomed for the two time champion. In the last nine years, the Scot has reached three finals, four semi-finals and two quarter finals in this competition. At odds of 4/1 with William Hill, Andy Murray heading into his peak years is a pretty convincing outright bet.

As for Federer, he skipped the clay court season to concentrate on the grass competition and the seven time champion will look to build on two final losses and a semi-final loss in his last three years worth of SW19 appearances. His victory at the Australian Open was his first Grand Slam success since a 2012 Wimbledon success, leading bookmakers to believe Roger’s revitalised showings will see him land an eighth championship this year. Although Federer should avoid any early upsets akin his 2013 second round exit, the going will really get tough in the later stages of the tournament and questions will be asked of his stamina on the grass once again. At such a short price, it’s not a great bet on the veteran.

Rafael Nadal enters Wimbledon in top form following his marvellous 10th French Open triumph and he is available at around 4/1. Although his Australian and French Open performances turned heads, his grass displays have been atrocious for quite some time, culminating in two 2nd round, a 1st round and a 4th round exit in his last four Wimbledon appearances. Avoid backing the clay specialist here at all.

Question marks remain over former world No.1 Novak Djokovic under new coach Andre Agassi, however it would be foolish to rule out the hard-willed Serb. Unfortunately, his shock loss to Sam Querrey last year took the wind out of his sails for quite some time. Nevertheless, Djokovic has triumphed in three of the last six tournaments and has eliminated all three of the aforementioned stars over those six years. All things considered, the 6/1 offered by Coral feels a little generous given his general consistency on the biggest stage. Djok will more than likely have to topple one of the big guns to reach the final, but if he can find it in him to pull off a classic, top quality performance en route, his confidence could be through the roof for the remainder
