Wimbledon Odds

With Nadal out, Roger Federer is the clear favorite at the 2009 Wimbledon.

With Rafael Nadal out of this year’s Wimbledon tennis tournament you would think that Roger Federer would have a cakewalk to another title.

Well that may be true on paper, but there are still other players out there who could give Federer a run for his money.

Federer, who is listed at a staggering -175 to win, could find Andy Murray (+275) in his path at some point.

These two players are clearly getting most of the attention as the tourney begins, but it will be Murray that will need to step up his game if he is to upset Federer.

Federer opened his Wimbledon with a routine 7-5, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Yen-hsun Lu.

Murray launched his assault on a maiden grand slam title with a 7-5, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 victory on Centre Court over Robert Kendrick.

Defending champion and world No.1 Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from the Wimbledon Championships because of knee tendinitis. The rematch of last year’s epic final between him and Federer will not happen but there is a field of talented players who are just waiting for their time to shine.

The world No.2 and 2008 runner-up Roger Federer, is vying for his sixth career Wimbledon title and 13th major in total which would surpass Pete Sampras for the most all time.

This tournament has all kinds of story lines including a great women’s draw that features defending champion Venus Williams who will try to add another Wimbledon title to her vast collection of career titles (41).
