Wimbledon opened its gates today as start of play got under way in one of sports major calender events. Its Grand Slam time once again in London SW19 as tennis places one foot on the baseline and nets the attention of sports fans worldwide.
Picking the winner of the men’s singles is never easy but this year the choice is surely between the top four seeds in the tournament who are listed below with their Paddy Power betting odds.
- Rafael Nadal 11/5
- Novak Djokovic 7/2
- Roger Federer 9/4
- Andrew Murray 5/1
In what is a difficult choice I’m going for the old man of the quartet and picking six times Wimbledon champion Roger Federer to take the crown and lift his 17th Grand Slam title. The 29 year old right hander from Switzerland is still a major force on the tennis circuit and despite the youth of his other three major rivals I fancy Federer to make it seven Wimbledon titles.
It’s a tough one to call but I’m placing 3 points on Federer at 9/4 with Paddy Power.
