London, England – Falling into the top half of the draw at the 2008 Sportsbook.

Touted as the bad boy of tennis, Djokovic (or Nole as he likes to be called) is not reticent enough to subdue his opinions on Wimbledon betting this year. In particular, Federer’s falling stock in the tennis betting markets. Eternally optimistic about his own 2008 Wimbledon odds for the title this year Djokovic has gone so far as to make his own prediction on Wimbledon wagering; that is, the Swiss maestro will not walk away with his sixth straight Wimbledon title.

Federer arrives in London boasting an enviable 60-match-winning streak on grass, recently augmented with a title victory at the tennis betting in the top half of the draw – a section that will hopefully play out to expectations and see the two inextricably draw towards each other for a semi-final clash.

But before we get ahead of ourselves let us look at the tennis betting value in the early rounds of tennis betting in his section of the draw. In his section, seeded threats still alive in the championships come in the form of 10th seed Marcos Baghdatis, 13th seed Stanislas Wawrinka, 21st seed David Nalbandian crashed in his opening round match against Frank Dancevic of Canada.) A stumbling block in the unseeded category, comes in the form of two-time Grand Slam champion Marat Safin – a second round challenger who could give the obnoxious Serb something to think about.

Should Nole reach the final four then he will most likely have a crack at the shaken man himself ( well at least as I have predicted Federer to reach the semi-finals). Djokovic has won two of eight encounters against Federer, one of which was in the semi-final en route to his victory at the 2008 Sportsbook.

So there you have it, a nice short break down for you of some of the exciting betting on tennis!
