It’s been an amazing year of Men’s Grand Slam tennis with Novak Djokovic taking 2 honours, the Australian Open and his first Wimbledon title, in addition to that he has only lost 1 match all year; was that in any of your predictions? Rafael Nadal picked up the French Open title in May but the Spaniard has been a little hit and miss and has lacked fitness and consistency after being blighted with injuries.

The final Grand Slam of the year takes place in late August/ early September and after a great year of tennis, the public on both sides of the Atlantic, in the USA and in Europe and the UK, will be watching this with great anticipation, with the latter making a huge amount of bets on the possible results. The US Open ranks highly in the standings of annual sporting events both for watching and betting.

The 2011 Wimbledon Mens’ Singles final on July 3 will once again be the focus of hot summer betting, not just in the UK but around the world.

The absence of a football or Rugby World Cup, and the Olympics, has put Tennis at centre-stage and, as always, it is the Mens’ Singles final which draws most of the attention as fans eagerly await news of the results, standings and highlights.

Wimbledon fortnight is the most premium dates of all the fixtures on the international tennis schedule and Wimbledon 2011 betting will be as huge as always, especially in the UK, where hopes are as high as ever for homegrown Andy Murray; will he be a forlorn Scot or triumphant Brit this year, if his results at Queens are anything to go by, this is his best chance to date.
