Federer the betting favorite to win his eighth Wimbledon title

Eighteen-time Grand Slam champion and third seed Roger Federer was upset by sixth seed Milos Raonic in the semifinals of last year’s Wimbledon men’s singles tournament at the All England Club. But the 35-year-old Federer has looked reborn this year and enters Wimbledon as the +200 favorite as the third seed again ahead of defending champion Andy Murray, who is listed as the +350 second choice.

Federer started 2017 by winning the Australian Open over longtime rival Rafael Nadal. He has since added three more titles, including the Gerry Weber Open for a record ninth time, improving to 24-2 overall. Federer took some time off after winning the Miami Open to rest and prepare for Wimbledon because last year he suffered a knee injury.

Murray is the top seed and beat Raonic 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-2) in last year’s Wimbledon final for his second career title there. However, he did not have to face a player seeded higher than sixth en route to winning it, knocking out No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and No. 10 Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively.
