Serena Williams is a huge 1/6 odds on favourite to win her fourth Wimbledon crown when she takes on Russian Vera Zvonareva on Centre Court this Saturday. The world number one and defending champion has yet to drop a set in this year’s tournament and seems to be hitting the ball harder than ever. As far as Zvonareva is concerned, she has only ever beaten Williams once in the six times they have played each other and that came in 2006 on a hard court in Cincinnati. This is one of the major reasons why she has been given odds of no better than 9/2 to win with Paddy Power.
Of course the shrewd punter will look at this match and acknowledge that shocks in tennis do happen. In fact this year’s Ladies Singles has been nothing but shocks since the opening round nearly a fortnight ago, with seeds ‘dropping like flies’ often to the most unlikely of opponents. At 9/2 the Russian is thereffore a tempting proposition but punters will know that they have more to gain on her winning in the set betting market, where she is 9/1 to win in three sets and 8/1 to win in straight sets.

Interestingly, Williams with odds of 10/3 to win in three sets looks even more tempting, particularly as a straight sets win is still an odds on bet at 4/9.

Bookmakers have also reported that the Set Score betting markets have been popular, particularly with Williams backers, who have the following options for instance in the first set:
Similar odds are available for the second set and can be backed using the tennis betting services of Paddy Power Bookmakers.New account holders can also take advantage of the FREE Bet facilities.
We see no outcome other than a Williams victory, which will give her an 11th career Grand Slam and her second this year; she has already picked up the Australian Open in January. We take Serena to win in straight sets and would bet in the Total Number of Games market on Under 19.5 games at 10/11 with paddypower
1/6 Williams
9/2 Zvonareva.
