Wimbledon Men's Quarter Final Betting




Roger Federer gets things underway today at Wimbledon and we're taking him to win his match against Ivo Karlovic.

The only real weapon Krlovic has is his big serve and it's interesting to note that in the nine previous matches between the two players -which Federer holds an 8-1 advantage-there has been 12 tie-breaks in the matches.

Because of this we're going to have a bet on a first set tie break at Evens (Bet365). We're also having abet on the Karlovic under 15.50 games at 11/8 (Paddypower).

Andy Murray is back on court after his epic Monday night battle with Stanislas Wawrinka and he faces wild card entry Juan Carlos Ferrero. Ferrero is priced at 38/5 (Betdaq) to cause an upset, but even although he could take advantage of any tiredness Murray may show, we just can't see him winning.

Ferrero will be dangerous but Murray beat him 6-4 6-2 at Queens and we can see something similar happening here. It's possible Murray will do things the hard way again and so we're going for a 3-1 win for Murray 11/4 (Stan James) and we're also going to have a bet on him to lose the first set and win the match at 6/1 (Ladbrokes).

Lleyton Hewitt has had a great Wimbledon so far, but despite having a better head to head record (6-5) against Andy Roddick he has lost both times they have met on grass and we can't see that stat changing today.

We think Roddick will be far too strong for Hewitt and we're going for a straight sets win for Roddick at odds of 2/1 (William Hill).

Tommy Haas is playing really well at present and we're going to back him to cause a minor upset against Novak Djokovic. He has beaten Djokovic the only time they have previously played on grass and we're taking Haas to do it again and run out the winner at odds of 15/8 (Paddypower).

We're backing Haas to win 3-1 at 7/1 (Sportingbet).
