Novak Djokovic remains the fourth choice in the market for the 2009 Men’s Singles Title at Wimbledon, however he is now as big as 16/1 with Sportingbet to triumph at SW19.
The Serbian World No.4 has been friendless in the betting for Wimbledon for some time, with many believing that Andy Murray is the man to break the Nadal/Federer stranglehold on the men’s game. Murray’s chances of success this year were also given a massive boost after winning his first grass court title at Queen’s Club. By contrast, at the same time, an exhausted Novak Djokovic lost his final in the Gerry Weber Open at Halle to 31 year-old Tommy Haas In disappointing fashion.
The one thing that Djokovic has on his side however is the fact that he does have a Grand Slam title under his belt. He won the U.S Open two year’s ago and he knows what it takes to go all the way. His Wimbledon record, whilst not great, is still better than Murray’s – Djokovic reached the semi-finals at SW19 back in 2007.
Should 2008 Champion Rafael Nadal overcome his injury problems in time to participate this year, an exciting four horse race for the title is still well and truly in store. Sportingbet currently make Roger Federer clear Evens favourite to win back his Wimbledon crown.
