Wimbledon betting hots up today as play restarts, with all eyes on Andy Murray’s odds. The Scot is 2/1 with Sky Bet to be the first Brit to win the men’s singles since 1936 and he goes into his fourth-round clash against Stanislas Warwinka as 1/20 hot favourite to book a place in the quarter-finals for the second consecutive year. The pair have never played each other on grass and the Swiss 19th seed is 9/1 with Sky Bet to beat Murray.
Sky Bet’s tennis betting odds compiler, Chris Kennedy, said: “Wawrinka is a step up in class from Murray’s opponents so far but I still expect him to prevail in three or four sets. Although we have big liabilities on Murray winning the outright, Wawrinka has been well backed to win the match at attractive odds of 9/1.”
Sky Bet boast a wide variety of Wimbledon betting markets on today’s action, including several Murray betting specials. Murray has not lost his serve during his last two matches against Troicki and Gulbis and is 5/4 with Sky Bet not to lose his serve again today. He has scored 48 aces in 44 service games and Murray’s odds of serving up an ace in his first service game are 8/15 (11/8 not to serve an ace in his first service). He is 2/9 favourite to score more aces than Wawrinka (3/1).
The British number one is on course for a place in Sunday’s final and a Murray v Federer showdown is an 11/10 chance with Sky Bet.
Despite Murray’s form, five-time champion Federer remains Sky Bet’s 4/7 favourite in the Wimbledon men’s singles betting. He takes on Robin Soderling today in what is a repeat of the French Open final and is 1/25 to take his record against the Swede to 11-0. Sky Bet make the Swiss master 3/1 to win in SW19 and follow up with victory at the US open, while Murray is 9/1 to take both titles.
Murray is into 6/4 with Sky Bet to be named BBC Sports Personality of the Year, while Jenson Button’s odds of topping the poll this December have drifted to 8/11 (from 4/7).
