Wimbledon Odds is a two horse Race Between Federer and Murray

Wimbledon 2009 is under way and the bookmakers odds for the Mens singles title looks a two horse race between Roger Federer and Adny Murray after current champion Rafael Nadal had to pull out of the Championships due to injury.

It is Federer who is the clear favourite at odds of 8/11 with Ladbrokes to add a sixth Wimbledon title to his ever growing roll of honour, a win that would move him to just one champiosnhip win behind current Wimbledon record holder Pete Sampras.

However, if he is to continue re-writing the history books, he must over come a player who is also attempting to make history and become the first British player to win Wimbledon for the first time in 73 years! Andy Murray will be carrying the hopes of a nation on to the famous All England Lawn Tennis Club Courts over the next couple of weeks as he bids to emulate what Fred Perry last achieved in 1936. He is is the shorest odds that any British male player has ever been heading in to the tournament at 7/4 in the betting but must win his first Grand Slam if he is to do so.

2009 French Open Outright odds from Boylesports

The French Open (Tournoi de Roland-Garros) takes place at the famous Roland Garros stadium in Paris starting with the qualifiers from 24th May right through to the finals on 7th June 2009.  The tournament is the 2nd of the Grand Slam tournaments of the tennis year and is the most prestigious clay court tennis event in the world.

The tournament has become a grudge match between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer who have gone head to head in the final of this tournament in 2006, 2007 and 2008 with the Spaniard Rafael Nadal winning all 3 matches and has won the tournament 4 times in total in his career having beat Mariano Puerta in the 2005 tournament.

We would like to think that this years tournament would be different and maybe someone can beat Nadal in the final, maybe even the English hopeful Andy Murray (currently at odds of 16/1) can do it and get past last years poor performance where he was out in the 3rd round as he has spent much of 2008 concentrating on improving his clay court performance.

French Open 2009 Outright Betting

• 1/3 – Rafael Nadal
• 11/2 – Roger Federer
• 13/2 – Novak Djokovic
• 16/1 – Andrew Murray
