<\/p>\nWhat do you think of when you think of Wimbledon? the Sun? the rain? the Pimms or maybe the strawberries – well you should be thinking of favourites.<\/p>\n
OddsMonkey has looked back at Wimbledon winners since the turn of the century, and on both sides of the draws – one thing is clear, the favourites like the grass.of<\/p>\n
The men’s have not seen a big price outsider win since 2001 when giant Croatian Goran Ivanisevic won it as a wild-card and rated at 250\/1.<\/p>\n
Since the domination of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray has kicked in – with one of those four winning the last 15 titles.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And looking at the women’s draw, things have not been too different with the Williams sisters Venus and Serena enjoying something of a domination with 11 wins.<\/p>\n
Petra Kvitova and Amelie Mauresmo have also won but neither was seen as an outsider. Last year’s winner Garbine Muguruza was a bit of an outsider winning from 12\/1, which was a similar price to 2004 winner Mario Sharapova.<\/p>\n
But the only major shock on the women’s side in recent years came in 2013 when Marion Bartoli won having started the competition at 150\/1.<\/p>\n
“We have seen that Wimbledon does not offer wonderful value for the Punters, but it does mean that it is easier that a lot of tennis event to pick a winner – especially on the men’s side,” said OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton.<\/p>\n
“If you are looking for a bet here, then do stray to far from the top-four in the odds from both draws.”<\/p>\n
