Wimbledon Federer
Widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, Roger Federer goes to Wimbledon with something to prove.

He is the undoubted master of Wimbledon, having won five singles titles on grass there, but the question remains whether he can respond after having his win streak halted by his great rival Rafael Nadal last year.
There will be many Federer Wimbledon bets placed this year, his fans hoping the 28-year-old can lift his game and capture a sixth singles title.
The world no.1 ranked player for a record 237 consecutive weeks, he saw Nadal overtake him in the rankings last August and would dearly love to be back on top once more.
Federer has 13 Grand Slam singles titles to his name, with only the French Open having eluded him.
The Federer Wimbledon bets placed this year will reflect his dominance in the championships over the past few years, where he set an open era record for most consecutive wins on a grass court (65).
But he has a mental barrier to overcome after last year's final, where he played Nadal for the third consecutive year.
It was almost dark when, at the end of five gruelling but hugely entertaining sets, the Spaniard won the decider 9-7.
If he had won, it would have broken Bjorn Borg's modern era record with a sixth consecutive Wimbledon singles title.
It might have marked the end of an era, but there will be plenty of Federer Wimbledon betting interest again this year, with many expecting another Federer-Nadal showdown. That would be the eighth time the pair have faced each other in a Grand Slam final.
This year Federer has already reached his 18th Grand Slam final - just one behind the record held by Ivan Lendl - but was beaten in Australia by Nadal in five sets.
Federer has already stated that his no. 1 goal in the sport now is not recapturing his top ranking in the world but winning another Wimbledon title. His pursuit of that achievement will keep everyone on the edge of their seat this year and bring in plenty of Federer Wimbledon bets.
