The Championships at Wimbledon Are On: June 21 – July 4
[ad#Sportsbook-260]Wimbledon is on! The world’s most prestigious tennis championship is back around, having just started Monday, June 21 and running through July 4. And already the action has been nothing less than fierce.
Roger Federer, 6-time champ, almost suffered a brutal defeat in his first match, Alejandro Falla, but after being down two sets Federer bounced back with a vengeance. In every one of the past seven Wimbledon Tournaments, Federer has made it to the finals. That’s on the ATP (men’s) side.
On the WTA (women’s) side, Kim Clijsters, who until now hadn’t played at Wimbledon since ’06, handily beat Maria Elena Camerin with repeated service returns.
The famed Williams sisters have yet to take to the courts, but seeded 1 and 2, Serena and Venus (respectively) are confident going in. Together they have won 8 of the last 10 Wimbledon championships. The women’s 2010 Wimbledon final is on July 3.
Those online tennis betting enthusiasts not willing to lay all their money down on Federer might logically be looking at Rafael Nadal as their choice, seeded 2 at Wimbledon but surpassing Federer in the world rankings. The men’s 2010 Wimbledon final is on July 4.
Contested at the 2010 Wimbledon will be Gentlemen’s Singles and Doubles, Ladies’ Singles and Doubles, and Mixed Doubles, as well as several Boys, Girls, and Invitational events, as well as a Gentlemen’s Wheelchair Doubles.
On a side note, the Queen of England is expected to attend Wimbledon on Thursday, her royal highness’s first visit to the event since ’77.
The Wimbledon Championships are considered one of the four tennis majors comprising the Grand Slams, the others being The Australian Open, The French Open, and The US Open.
