Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final
Roger Federer vs Marin Cilic
Roger Federer will be bidding to make history as the first man to win eight Wimbledon titles while Marin Cilic will be aiming to stop him and seize his first Grand Slam at the All England Club on the way. Hence, with so much on the line, their meeting will certainly be a feast for online betting.
Indeed, if this battle features even an ounce of their quarterfinal classic in last year’s tournament – one which went down as the best match of 2016 – a fantastic live betting spectacle to conclude the gentlemen’s championship is in store for sports betting fans.
Of course, Federer is still the favourite to win. He’s just one step away to surpassing Pete Sampras for the most titles in the competition, and his form suggests that he’s ready to continue his transcendence in the sport.
Moreover, although one could argue that things didn’t look well for the Swiss star in his semis match against Tomas Berdych, the Fed Express still proved that he’s at his best – winning in straight sets and maintaining his perfect record in the contest.
The hard-hitting Cilic, with his power and serve, could make things interesting for Federer. The Croat has been considered a dark horse even before this Grand Slam, and he has proven time and time again that his World No.6 ranking is not just for show and that he can perform on the big stage.
His 1-6 head-to-head record against the Swiss Maestro will undoubtedly raise eyebrows and fuel questions if he can hold his ground in the final. However, his one win against Federer—a straight set victory in the 2014 US Open that paved the Croat’s way to winning the title—showed that he is capable of testing him more than any opponent that the 35-year-old has faced so far.
Cilic is undeniably a compelling opponent, so their fight should be an exciting one with a lot of unbelievable moments.
With that said, I think the 28-year-old could at least snatch a set in the game. Nonetheless, I believe it’s ridiculous to bet against the greatest player of all time, so my smart money is on Federer overcoming an Asian Handicap -1.50 that pays at 1.39 and adding silverware to his haul.
