Who will dethrone Roger Federer at Wimbledon?

by Thomas Jensen on Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Who will dethrone Roger Federer at Wimbledon? The tennis circuit moves from the clay courts of Roland Garros to the manicured lawns of Wimbledon in the UK. The 131st edition of the Wimbledon Championship begins on Monday June 25th, 2007. WagerWeb.com has made Roger Federer the favorite at -300 odds to repeat as champion for the five consecutive year.

Roger Federer is probably the happiest player in England now that the clay courts are behind him. The World's #1 player failed to complete the career Grand Slam after losing in the finals of the French Open to Rafael Nadal. Federer will feel more confident on the green grass of Wimbledon.

Roger has dominated this tournament the last four years. Federer beat Nadal in last year's final, 6-0, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, and easily defeated hard-hitting American Andy Roddick in 2005 and 2004 and his first Wimbledon final victory came against Mark Philippoussis in 2003.

Australian Lleyton Hewitt has been the only other player to win Wimbledon since 2002. If anyone is going to keep Federer from making it five in a row this month in England, one would think that it would be Hewitt. The only problem is that Hewitt has a nine tennis match losing streak against Federer.

Point-Spreads.com believes Andy Roddick has the best shot of knocking off the champion. The oddsmakers at WagerWeb.com are giving tennis bettors the best value for Roddick at 10 to 1 odds to win Wimbledon 2007.
