Wimbledon Tennis fans set for Murray bet?

The British public hope 2009 can be Andy Murray’s year in the Wimbledon betting, but a certain Rafael Nadal will be standing menacingly in his way.

Britain has been starved of a Wimbledon betting champion since Virginia Wade took the women’s singles in 1977, but in Murray, the home nation has a realistic Wimbledon bet.


Punters who back Murray in the Wimbledon tennis betting know they have a player who can compete at the very highest level. He made the US Open final last year and has some winning form against Nadal

However, the short Wimbledon odds quoted on Spaniard Nadal reveal the reigning champion is currently the dominant force in the men’s game.

Fans crave a Wimbledon betting final repeat

Last year’s epic five-set final saw in-play Wimbledon betting see-saw dramatically with the changing fortunes of the match, before Nadal defeated five-times champion Roger Federer in thrilling fashion.

Wimbledon tennis betting fans would love more matches like that, and the third Grand Slam event of the season rarely fails to produce excitement for those who enjoy a Wimbledon bet.

There will be a slightly different dimension to this year’s Wimbledon betting as the new Centre Court roof will be in operation, which will mean less interruption to in-play Wimbledon tennis bets.

Wimbledon odds reflect grass form

Anyone plotting a Wimbledon tennis betting strategy will carefully monitor the form of the favourites like defending champions Nadal and Venus Williams.

But punters will also be aware shocks can happen at long Wimbledon odds, and that form on grass is often key.

The competition at the All England Club is the only Grand Slam to be played on grass, a surface which produces different Wimbledon betting patterns than the other big tournaments on clay and hard courts.

Grass courts are renowned for fast-pace tennis and usually favour players with big serves and powerful shots which is why Wimbledon odds often lean towards serve-volley players rather than baseline hitters.
