Mens Wimbledon Betting

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic dominate Ladbrokes Wimbledon betting on the Mens Singles and it is difficult to see beyond the three top seeds.

The odds about Roger Federer achieving a sixth-successive Wimbledon victory eased recently, after he received a thumping at Roland Garros by Rafael Nadal, but the Swiss master remains the man punters look to for their Wimbledon bet.

The 26-year-old is in the midst of his worst season since 2005, claiming just one title and suffering unfamiliar defeats to tour journeymen like Mardy Fish and Radek Stepanek.

However, the favourite in Ladbrokes’ Wimbledon betting loves the grass and didn’t drop a service game when justifying short odds to win a fifth Halle title as part of his preparations and ‘will not be threatened’, according to Wimbledon legend Pete Sampras.

It is Nadal and Djokovic - the world’s number two and three - who seem most likely to threaten Federer’s Wimbledon winning streak, which stands at 35 matches.

As three-sided as the Wimbledon odds suggest?

Nadal is certainly in the ascendancy. He missed chances to dethrone Federer in last year’s epic five-set Wimbledon final and recently proved his grass game to be in good order by becoming the first Spaniard to win a grass court title since 1972, when successful at short tennis odds at Queen’s.

Djokovic won his first grand slam at the Australian Open in January and fully deserves his place in the ‘big three’, who dominate the Wimbledon betting. He retired with injury when level with Nadal in last year’s semi-final and has the all-round game to justify his Wimbledon odds.

Former world no.1 Andy Roddick will have his supporters in the tennis betting but he could only reach the semi-finals in his Wimbledon preparation at the Artois Championship, losing to Spaniard Nadal.

Those who like an annual Wimbledon bet on a Brit will pin their hopes on Andy Murray, seeded 12, who could represent attractive Wimbledon odds, if he can reproduce the sort of form that saw him beat Roger Federer in the first round of the Dubai Tennis Championships this year.
