Wimbledon 2013 is fast approaching. Considered one of the most prestigious of the Grand Slam events, the grass court tournament is typically the most competitive and sought-after trophy for many of the sport’s heaviest hitters. Sportsbook Review.com has assembled a grid of the best Wimbledon betting odds by sportsbook.
The world’s number one ranked player Novak Djokovic is +150 to win at Wimbledon per Bet365’s sportsbook odds. Djokovic came up short in his Roland Garros pursuit, however oddsmakers expect the Serb to return to form on a surface more tailored to his game.
Fresh off his winning his eighth French Open title, Spaniard Rafael Nadal is priced at an average of 3/1 to capture his third Wimbledon trophy. His price would likely be shorter if there were more confidence in his wheels – Nadal has been sidelined for a great deal of time in the not too distant past and his style of play always makes reinjury a concern.
Roger Federer is a surprising +500 despite his pedigree at the event. The Swiss player has dipped in form and looked every bit his 31 years as of late, but such a return on Federer at Wimbledon (an event he’s won 7x) is a story in and of itself. There should be plenty of value for punters who aren’t ready to write off Fedex just yet.
Andy Murray is priced in the same range as Rafael Nadal, but as is often the case when discussing the young star there are concerns over his mental toughness and his ability to close out games. Murray advanced to the Wimbledon Final in 2012 for the first time in his career but ultimately fell short to Roger Federer, which sparked his impressive Olympic gold run.
