Sharapova Wimbledon Betting at SBG Global

Wimbledon betting has seen Sharapova and the Williams sisters attract a lot of attention in the past decade. In fact, of the last eight Wimbledon titles, the Williams sisters have won six of them and Sharapova has won once.  Sharapova attracts a lot of Wimbledon betting attention because she is the first Russian to win Wimbledon and because she is good looking. She is the most popular female tennis player at the present time. Sharapova was born in Nyagan, a small town in the Siberian part of Russia. She started hitting tennis balls when she was four years old. Her father took her to the Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida when she was seven years old.  Sharapova’s tennis career began in 2001 on the junior circuit.

By 2003, Sharapova was able to play on the WTA Tour and had 34 wins and only 11 losses in her first season.  In 2004 she became the first Russian to win Wimbledon. The 2004 title was a huge upset in Wimbledon betting as Serena Williams was expected to win easily. Gamblers were stunned as Sharapova won easily 6-1, 6-4 in Wimbledon betting. With the Wimbledon betting victory, Sharapova became the first Russian to win Wimbledon and the third-youngest Wimbledon betting winner in the Open era.

Sharapova is listed at Wimbledon betting odds of about 5-2 to win the 2008 Wimbledon title.  She is followed closely in Wimbledon betting odds by Serena Williams who is about 3-1. Her sister Venus Williams is listed at about 4-1 in Wimbledon betting odds. Considering one of these three players has won the title in the seven of the last eight years it makes sense they are the leading candidates to win the 2008 Wimbledon title.
