Wimbledon Betting Action: Federer Looking For Record 7th Win. No single event seems to be more representative of the sport of tennis wagering than the Wimbledon event.This is one of the premier sports betting events in the world and nowhere on the planet is history and tradition more important than at the All England Lawn Tennis club.
And that’s why this year’s Wimbledon betting action has the chance to be so special for tennis betting fans and any fan of sport in general. In the long and proud tradition of Wimbledon betting only two male players in the history of this event have won the individual titles here seven times.
American tennis betting star Pete Sampras holds the Open Era record of seven wins in the Wimbledon betting and British tennis star William Renshaw also has seven Wimbledon titles -all claimed in the 1880s. In over 130 years of tennis betting action at this event, it’s quite a thing to be able to say you’re the all-time winningest player in Wimbledon history. But world #2 Roger Federer has a chance to do just that as a win in the 2010 Wimbledon would tie with Sampras for the most individual men’s titles with seven.
And it’s actually quite difficult to think that he won’t win here. He has owned the Wimbledon odds action almost his entire career. In the past six years, he’s lost only one match here and is already one of the all-time greatest players in the history of Wimbledon .
His number one challenger here will be world #1 Rafa Nadal. Nadal is more of a clay-court specialist but has proven once and for all that can also be the best on grass as he defeated Federer in the Wimbledon odds championship two years ago. The tennis betting experts thought that match would be end of Federer’s reign atop the tennis competition or at the very least his reigns as the Wimbledon champ. But Federer bounced back and not only reclaimed his Wimbledon title but also his world #1 ranking.
He’ll be the favorite in the upcoming week as the Wimbledon action gets underway and when it’s all said and done there’s a very good chance that he’ll join Sampras as the only 7-time Wimbledon odds champ in the Open Era.
