Up To Date US Open Men’s Odds Can Be Found Below

Our US Open predictions and free picks for the men’s bracket continue this week, as the US Open betting action gets set to get underway next week in Flushing, NY!

2011 US Open Odds, Picks & Info
2011 US Open Dates: Monday, August 29 – Sunday, September 11
2011 US Open Location: USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York
2011 US Open Favorite: Novak Djokovic (+170)
Defending US Open Ladies Champion: Rafael Nadal
2011 US Open TV Coverage – Network: Tennis Network, NBC

With just two losses to his credit for the entire year, Novak Djokovic (Current US Open Odds: 1.70 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) is clear the man to watch out for over the course of the next two weeks. Djokovic has played in this final twice in his career, but he has never taken home the coveted trophy. This has been a banner year for the Serb, who has captured the world’s No. 1 ranking and has already won a pair of majors (Australian Open and Wimbledon). Often times he and the fourth favorite, Andy Murray end up taking a back seat here in Flushing, and there is a decent chance that the exact same thing could happen this time around.

And why is that? Because the defending champion of this event, Rafael Nadal (US Open Lines: 4.45 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) isn’t going to want to get off of his throne. Rafa already has a Grand Slam title as well this year to his mantle, taking care of the French Open crown once again on the clay courts. However, hard surfaces have always given the Spaniard trouble, probably due to the fact that he doesn’t have the biggest serve in the world and that his best asset is his return game. Still, Nadal won’t go down without a fight in this one, and he is going to be the man of the hour to watch through the full fortnight, knowing that no one should touch him until at least the quarters at best.

List Of Past Ladies US Open Champions (Since 2000)
2010 US Open Winner: Rafael Nadal
2009 US Open Winner: Juan Martin Del Potro
2008 US Open Winner: Roger Federer
2007 US Open Winner: Roger Federer
2006 US Open Winner: Roger Federer
2005 US Open Winner: Roger Federer
2004 US Open Winner: Roger Federer
2003 US Open Winner: Andy Roddick
2002 US Open Winner: Pete Sampras
2001 US Open Winner: Leyton Hewitt
2000 US Open Winner: Marat Safin

As always though, we can’t forget about the five-time champ of this event, Roger Federer (Odds to Win the US Open: 6.15 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). It’s amazing to think that Federer hasn’t won a major this year, and it’s also odd to think that he is the fourth choice of the tennis oddsmakers this year at the tournament that he has historically dominated. With six finals appearances and five wins, no one since the great Pete Sampras has played like this at this tournament. Whether Federer has anything left in the tank or not is a totally different question.

Complete List of Women’s US Open Odds Can Be Found Below

Our US Open predictions and free picks for the women’s bracket continue this week, as the US Open betting action gets set to get underway next week in Flushing, NY!

2011 US Open Odds, Picks & Info
2011 US Open Dates: Monday, August 29 – Sunday, September 11
2011 US Open Location: USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York
2011 US Open Favorite: Serena Williams (+160)
Defending US Open Ladies Champion: Kim Clijsters
2011 US Open TV Coverage – Network: Tennis Network, NBC

It’s ironic to think that the woman who is the favorite this year by a country mile at the US Open isn’t even ranked in the Top 25 in the bracket. However, we all know that Serena Williams (Current US Open Odds: 1.60 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) is going to be the force to be reckoned with. Williams is only No. 28 in the bracket thanks to the fact that she hasn’t played a heck of a lot of tennis of late, but with three US Open titles to her credit and a slew of other finals, many of which were lost to her sister, there is no doubt that this is the player that no one wants to mess around with.

With women’s tennis so far out of tilt over these last few years, without any truly dominating players, we are at the point that we are content taking underdogs and seeing how things work out. The woman that really catches our eye in spite of the fact that she really has never played all that well on hard courts is Na Li (US Open Lines: 22 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). The Chinese standout played in the final at Wimbledon this year, which came just one major tournament after claiming her first ever Grand Slam title at the French Open. Li is already 29 years old, but she has definitely blossomed this year into one of the top players in the world and definitely should not be forgotten, especially at this type of a price.

List Of Past Ladies US Open Champions (Since 2000)
2010 US Open Winner: Kim Clijsters
2009 US Open Winner: Kim Clijsters
2008 US Open Winner: Serena Williams
2007 US Open Winner: Justine Henin
2006 US Open Winner: Maria Sharapova
2005 US Open Winner: Kim Clijsters
2004 US Open Winner: Svetlana Kuznetsova
2003 US Open Winner: Justine Henin
2002 US Open Winner: Serena Williams
2001 US Open Winner: Venus Williams
2000 US Open Winner: Venus Williams

She really hasn’t panned out as one of the best top seeds in women’s tennis this year, especially at majors, but the time is definitely coming for Caroline Wozniacki (Odds to Win the US Open: 17 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) to make a name for herself at the Grand Slam level. She’s won plenty of secondary events over the course of the last few years, but she has never gotten all the way through the biggest events of her career. Is this her day? We tend to think that there is at least a 1 in 17 chance of the Dane getting the job done.

Full List of Odds To Win Wimbledon Can Be Found Below

Ladies’ tennis is about as wide open right now as could be, as there are just a slew of different players that have a chance to beat the Wimbledon odds. We’re breaking it all down and making our Wimbledon picks for the big time event coming up at the end of June here at Bankroll Sports!

2011 Wimbledon Odds, Picks & Info
2011 Wimbledon Dates: Monday, June 20 – Sunday, July 3
2011 Wimbledon Location: All England Club, London, England
2011 Wimbledon Favorite: Maria Sharapova (+475)
Defending Wimbledon Champion: Serena Williams
2011 Wimbledon TV Coverage – Network: Tennis Network, NBC

It’s going to be oh so difficult to pick a winner for this event. The big question mark is whether or not Serena Williams (Current Wimbledon Odds: 4.80 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) is going to play in this event. Williams has won this event four times in her career, including against her sister, Venus, but both of them are really in some trouble in terms of injuries. The Williams sisters both sat out of the French Open for the first time in over a decade. Now, they’re both up in the air for the trip to the All-England Club, but at the end of the day, if these two end up playing, they’re both going to be lethal competitors. The Williams sisters have won a combined nine of the last 11 Wimbledon titles.

The favorite to win this event on the Wimbledon odds though, is the only woman in the middle to win this event that is playing in this field, Maria Sharapova (Wimbledon Lines: 4.75 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). The Russian beauty really had a great run at the French Open in spite of the fact that a number of different ladies took a big time shot at her at Roland Garros. Sharapova won this tournament in 2004, and she is still incredibly young at just 24 years old. There is still plenty of good tennis in this Russian’s body, and she is probably deservedly the favorite even though she isn’t going to be anywhere near the top seed in this event.

List Of Past Wimbledon Champions (Since 2000)
2010 Wimbledon Winner: Serena Williams
2009 Wimbledon Winner: Serena Williams
2008 Wimbledon Winner: Venus Williams
2007 Wimbledon Winner: Venus Williams
2006 Wimbledon Winner: Amelie Mauresmo
2005 Wimbledon Winner: Venus Williams
2004 Wimbledon Winner: Maria Sharapova
2003 Wimbledon Winner: Serena Williams
2002 Wimbledon Winner: Serena Williams
2001 Wimbledon Winner: Venus Williams
2000 Wimbledon Winner: Venus Williams

The woman of the hour after winning the French Open is going to be Na Li (Odds to Win the Wimbledon: 8 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Li had been a bridesmaid a number of times before in her career, but at 29 years old, she finally had the breakthrough and won the French Open this year. Now, with back to back Grand Slam finale appearances under her belt, Li is going to try her best to make a big time run at one tennis’ biggest stages at the All-England Club.

Perhaps the woman that is going to be the most dangerous at this event is Kim Clijsters (Current Wimbledon Odds: 8 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Clijsters came onto the scene again after taking some time off a few years ago, and all of a sudden, she was basically winning everything under the sun. Clijsters was definitely knocked out of the French Open a bit too prematurely. The Belgian has been a great hard court player over the years, but on the grass at the All England Club, she has yet to taste glory. Especially if the Williams sisters don’t play or aren’t fully healthy, this might be her best shot.

Full List of Odds To Win Wimbledon Can Be Found Below

Two legs of the Grand Slam in tennis are said and done, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’re looking at the Wimbledon odds and making our free Wimbledon picks for the big time tournament at the All-England Club!

2011 Wimbledon Odds, Picks & Info
2011 Wimbledon Dates: Monday, June 20 – Sunday, July 3
2011 Wimbledon Location: All England Club, London, England
2011 Wimbledon Favorite: Roger Federer (+265)
Defending Wimbledon Champion: Rafael Nadal
2011 Wimbledon TV Coverage – Network: Tennis Network, NBC

Unless you are going to go off of the board, there are really only a handful of different tennis players that realistically have a chance of winning Wimbledon betting action this year. After all, just look back at the last eight Wimbledon champions… You’ll only see two names there.

The first is that of Roger Federer (Current Wimbledon Odds: 2.65 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Federer was a finalist at the French Open and pushed the champ to four sets before succumbing. What can we say about this man’s career? There’s pretty much nothing that he hasn’t accomplished in his time on the court. The Swiss master already has 16 career Grand Slam title under his belt, including six here at the All-England Club. Federer is going to most likely come out of the No. 3 hole in this tournament, but that isn’t going to stop him from making one heck of a charge towards the top of the charts when push comes to shove.

The only other man to win a Wimbledon during the reign of Federer here in Jolly Ol’ England is Rafael Nadal (Wimbledon Lines: 2.75 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Rafa won the second Grand Slam event this year at the French Open, which is nothing new considering the fact that he has only lost one match in seven years playing at Roland Garros. Save for 2009 when he was pushed to five epic sets by Federer in the finale, Nadal has been amazing here on these courts in England. Grass isn’t nearly his best surface, as demonstrated by the fact that he has 10 Grand Slam titles and six are on clay courts, but there clearly won’t be a match until at least the semifinals, and likely until the finals, if at all, in which the Spaniard is going to be an underdog.

List Of Past Wimbledon Champions (Since 2000)
2010 Wimbledon Winner: Rafael Nadal
2009 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2008 Wimbledon Winner: Rafael Nadal
2007 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2006 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2005 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2004 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2003 Wimbledon Winner: Roger Federer
2002 Wimbledon Winner: Lleyton Hewitt
2001 Wimbledon Winner: Goran Ivanisevic
2000 Wimbledon Winner: Pete Sampras

All eyes are going to be on Novak Djokovic (Odds to Win the Wimbledon: 3.65 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) as well in this tournament. Djokovic didn’t lose a match this year until the semifinals of the French Open again Federer, and that includes sweeping through the Australian Open for his second career Grand Slam victory. Djokovic is better served playing on hard courts, but considering how strong he has been this year on every surface that he has faced, we don’t know if we would want to bet against this man on the moon right now. Of the three biggest male players in tennis right now, this would probably be the one with the best Wimbledon odds.

And then there is Andy Murray (Current Wimbledon Odds: 6.85 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook)… We really feel bad for this Brit, because he seemingly always ends up as a semifinalist in these events, only to end up losing to either Nadal or Federer. Still, the UK hasn’t tasted glory of any kind in Wimbledon betting action since Jo Durie and Jeremy Bates won the mixed doubles tournament in 1987. There hasn’t been a single winner since Virginia Wade on the ladies’ side in 1977, and a man hasn’t won this event in the Open Era, dating back to 1968.
