Bet of the day: Over 2.5 sets in Wimbledon ladies’ singles final

Williams is in her ninth Wimbledon singles final and has been taken to a deciding set twice before, yet lost when going the distance Down Under with Kerber.

Serena will want to level Steffi Graf’s Open Era record off 22 individual Grand Slam titles, but has been waiting to do so since last year’s All England Club tennis Major.

Cunning Kerber is yet to drop a set, but still lost service games with alarming regularity during her 6-4 6-4 semi-final victory against the other Williams sister, Venus.

Getting on going the distance makes sense

Although by contrast Serena was hugely impressive when battering Elena Vesnina 6-2 6-0, the occasion was clearly too much for her Russian opponent to handle.

Kerber provides far stiffer competition for this Williams sibling, and Serena will want to prove a point by beating the German and avenging that Australian Open final loss.

With so many elements coming together here, there’s all the ingredients for this to be a classic, so get behind that sweet 6/4 for Serena Williams and Kerber to go over 2.5 sets.
