Champion Roger Federer remains favourite despite recent French Open defeat
Monday 16th June 2008
Wimbledon 2008, the highlight of the professional tennis year, kicks off a week today. All eyes are on Roger Federer, who has won the Men’s Singles title five years in a row and held the honour of being ranked #1 in the world for a record 229 weeks. He recently suffered his second defeat from British sensation Andy Murray and lost the French Open to Rafael Nadal.
Discounting his recent poor form, the Swiss giant is still a powerful force in tennis. He is still a firm favourite to make this year his sixth, with odds of 5/4 to be found from Coral.
The patriotic British will want to place a bet on young gun Andy Murray, who is offered at 33/1 at SportingBet and CamBet.
