2017: the year of shocks

We already have the line-up for this year’s women’s final at Wimbledon, and this afternoon four will become two in the men’s race, with Querrey vs Cilic and Federer vs Berdych battling it out in the semi-finals.

Querrey and Cilic to go the distance

It has been a year of upsets, with only one of the top-four players remaining in the competition at the business end. Will the semi-finals fall into place and deliver more shocks? Coral traders have Sam Querrey as a 12/5 underdog to book his place in the final, but that does seem a tad harsh. The 29-year-old American beat Andy Murray in the last round, and will fancy his chances of ending Marin Cilic’s hopes too.

Murray did look battered and bruised at the end, limping to defeat, meaning there will be no successful defence, but we can’t ignore just how good Querrey was. A powerful serve set him on course for victory, but it was his ability to return Murray’s big serves that made the difference, and the towering Las Vegas resident will be more than willing to gamble again on Friday.

The stats don’t do too much to encourage a bet on Sam however, with Cilic winning each of the previous four meetings between the pair. Location is key to how this one will pan out though. The rivals have met at Wimbledon twice before, with each match going five sets. We should be in for another battle here. Go for over 4.5 sets at 11/4. Fancy taking a chance on Querrey? Play 3-2 in the set betting at 13/2.
