Bet on Wimbledon with totesport

Wimbledon is now firmly established as one of the big betting events in the sports calendar and at totesport we have some great tennis betting opportunities.

The oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world offers punters great excitement during the two weeks of play in early summer.

The biggest interest centres on the Men’s and Women’s outright betting and totesport’s ante-post markets are popular destinations for punters as the event gets ever nearer.

The number of players who get to lift the coveted trophy is of course restricted and in recent years the men’s singles has seen a trend of one player monopolising the competition.

Roger Federer is arguably one of the best all-time players and currently dominates totesport’s tennis markets.

The Swiss ace has won the only Grand Slam event to be played five years on the trot emulating Bjorn Borg’s five titles in a row and is strongly fancied to go one better in 2008.

He still has a bit to go to equal ‘Pistol’ Pete Sampras’ record of seven wins secured in an eight-year period from 1993-2000 but is hungry for more success.

Whether the World number one can continue to dominate Wimbledon remains to be seen, as a host of talented youngsters are gunning for his crown.

In particular, Rafael Nadal has proved to be Federer’s biggest rival recently but while having the better of him on clay, the Spaniard is still to defeat him on grass, although he did take the Swiss ace to five sets in a thrilling 2007 final.

His battles with Federer are counter-punching spectacular events featuring ferocious power and are exhilarating contests which makes for thrilling betting.

Set betting can be an exciting betting opportunity with totesport and in-play markets featuring the two rivals at Wimbledon is always popular.

Meanwhile, anyone who thinks the big two won’t win overall are likely to get very generous odds in our various markets.

In recent years Tim Henman carried the weight of British hopes on his shoulders but the closest he came was four semi-final outings in a five-year spell from 1998-2002. Having retired from the sport, he has passed the baton on to Andy Murray, who will hope for better fortune this time after he was forced out of the tournament in 2007 with a wrist injury.

The young Scot is bound to be popular among patriotic punters, particularly to make the last four and he could also be worth a bet in totesport’s special To Win Mens Wimbledon Singles In Their Lifetime market.

Our Men’s “Most Aces” market is worth checking out for value among the big hitters during the event.

No female player dominates the sport like Federer does, and as a result the women’s competition with defending champion Venus Williams, her sister Serena, Justine Henin, Jelena Jankovic and Maria Sharapova all fancied in totesport’s betting.
