Knowing what makes it special, how it fits within the four Grand Slams, and which players dominate the scene will help you make more informed bets.</p> <p>Wimbledon is held in London every year in late June and July. The tournament is famous for its grass courts, which give matches a fast pace and favour players with strong serving and volleying skills.</p> <p>Unlike other Grand Slams, all players must wear all-white clothing, which is a strict Wimbledon rule.</p> <p>Weather often plays a part, with rain delays sometimes affecting match schedules and outcomes.</p> <p>For punters on SportsBet, the quick grass surface can lead to surprising results: underdogs sometimes have a better shot here than on slower surfaces, which is something that opens the door to unique betting opportunities.</p> <h3>Overview of Grand Slams</h3> <p>The tennis calendar includes four Grand Slams: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. Each tournament has its own characteristics:</p> <p><strong>Grand Slam&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Surface&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Location&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Typical Play Style</strong></p> <p>Australian Open&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Hard&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Melbourne&nbsp; &nbsp; Baseline rallies, strong serves</p> <p>French Open&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Clay&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Paris&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Slow points, heavy topspin</p> <p>Wimbledon&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Grass&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;London&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Fast games, quick spins</p> <p>US Open&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Hard&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;New York&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Balanced, all-round play</p> <p>Grand Slam matches are best-of-five sets for men, best-of-three for women; in both cases, physical stamina and adaptability often determine who comes out on top during these two-week events.</p> <h2>Fundamentals of Betting on Wimbledon</h2> <p>Understanding the basics of Wimbledon betting starts with knowing the different bet types, how to read tennis odds, and what factors to watch for during the tournament.</p> <p>While we have an entire guide that shows you <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/how-to-bet-on-tennis">how to bet on tennis</a> with a lot of useful information that will get you started in no time, let’s briefly touch on all the basics you need to know before you place a bet on Wimbledon.&nbsp;</p> <h3>Types of Wimbledon Bets</h3> <p>There are plenty of popular ways to have a punt on Wimbledon, with the most common choice being the outright winner market - where you back the player you think will go on to win the entire tournament.</p> <p>It’s a simple option, though picking a winner early can be tough with so many variables at play.</p> <p><strong>Head-to-head betting</strong> is also widely used, as this lets you pick who’ll win a specific match. As the tournament begins, you will also find<strong> set betting</strong> markets, where you can predict the exact score in sets (for example, 3–1 or 3–2).</p> <p>If you're looking for more variety, you might explore markets like:</p> <p><strong>Game handicap: </strong>One player starts with a virtual advantage or deficit in total games.<br /> &nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Over/Under total games:</strong> A bet on whether the match will feature more or fewer games than a set number.<br /> &nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Set props: </strong>Markets like who’ll win the first set, whether there’ll be a tiebreak, and more.</p> <h3>How Betting Odds Work in Tennis</h3> <p>At SportsBet, all odds are shown in decimal format, and your potential return includes your original stake.</p> <p>For example:</p> <p>If a player is paying<strong> $2.50</strong> and you place a <strong>$10</strong> bet, your total return would be<strong> $25</strong> if they win ($10 x 2.50).</p> <p><strong>Favourites </strong>usually have lower odds (e.g.<strong> 1.40</strong>) — meaning a higher chance of winning, but a smaller return.<br /> &nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Outsiders </strong>tend to have higher odds (e.g.<strong> 3.80</strong>) — with bigger potential payouts, but a lower probability of getting up.<br /> &nbsp;</p> <p>Markets update as the tournament progresses, so odds can shift based on form, injuries, or other news. Always check the latest prices on SportsBet before placing your bet.</p> <h3>Key Factors Influencing Wimbledon Betting</h3> <p>Wimbledon is played on grass, which makes matches faster and favours certain styles. Players with big serves and quick movement (like Novak Djokovic) often do well here.</p> <p>Other factors to watch:</p> <p><strong>Player form</strong>: Recent results on grass are more important than overall ranking.</p> <p><strong>Head-to-head record</strong>s: Some players match up poorly against others, especially on grass.</p> <p><strong>Weather and injuries</strong>: The event takes place in London, so rain most definitely will interrupt matches, and even small injuries may affect performance.</p> <p><strong>Tournament draw</strong>: A tough draw can challenge even the top seeds early on.</p> <h2>Analysing Strategies and Trends for Major Tournaments</h2> <p>When betting on Wimbledon and other Grand Slam tournaments, a smart approach is to look at both player preparation and how different surfaces influence match outcomes.</p> <p>Before Wimbledon starts, you may want to watch grass court events leading up to the tournament.</p> <p>Players who perform well at Queen’s Club or Halle, for example, often carry strong form into Wimbledon. Grass is a unique surface as it plays faster and the ball stays lower compared to hard or clay courts.</p> <p>Obviously, it helps to keep an eye on recent injuries or sudden dips in performance. If a player withdrew from an earlier tournament, even minor injuries can impact their stamina and serve.&nbsp;</p> <p>One smart tiny detail to check is how many matches a player has played in the weeks before Wimbledon. Too many can cause fatigue, and too few could mean a lack of match fitness.</p> <h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <p><strong>When is Wimbledon held each year?</strong></p> <p>Wimbledon typically takes place in late June and early July.
