The
Championships, Wimbledon, commonly referred to as simply
"Wimbledon", is the oldest and arguably most
prestigious event in the sport of tennis. Held every June and
July in London, United Kingdom the tournament
is the third Grand Slam event played each year, preceded by the
Australian Open and the French Open, and
followed by the U.S. Open.
Wimbledon Tennis Facts
The tournament (which is the only Grand Slam event played on
grass - although there are other tournaments
played on the surface such as Queens and Halle) lasts for two
weeks, subject to extensions for rain.
Everyone with a big serve is a Wimbledon title contender as the
lush green lawns on which the tournament
unfolds lend themselves to powerful play. Roger Federer has won
Wimbledon for the last five consecutive years
(2003 – 2007) so he is the obvious favourite for the 2008 title,
although it would only take one bad day at
the office for him to come unstuck. Andy Roddick's first serve
is the fastest of the men's singles participants
so he is one for the notebook. Amelie Mauresmo and Justine
Henin-Hardenne are expected to continue their
tussle at the top of the women’s rankings, while the Williams
sisters, Serena and Venus, are sure to
challenge for the title in 2008 if fitness permits. This year
there will be plenty of money making
opportunities, so be sure to check these Wimbledon odds every
day.
