2009 WIMBLEDON BETTING TIPS AND ODDS
Rafael Nadal (7/4 at William Hill ) and Roger Federer (15/8 at Victor Chandler ) are the favourites again this year, and with good reason.
The closest contenders – Novak Djokovic (15/2 at PaddyPower) and Andy Murray (9/2 at Paddy Power ) – are more or less completely outclassed by these players when under pressure. However, don’t completely discount them, if they can just keep their head when it matters they are both good players.
2009 Wimbledon Ladies Odds and Tips
It’s hard to see past the Williams sisters and 2008 Champion Venus has got to be the one to go with here. Right now, she’s a best price 11/4 at Bet365, which is a price worth taking.
As an each-way bet (1/2 odds on places 1-2, we like Dinara Safina, who has been doing well on all surfaces for the last year. You can find her at 14/1 at William Hill.
