Roger Federer Just 3/1 To Win
Grand Slam in 2007
After cruising to his
tenth major singles title at the Australian Open, talk of
Roger Federer capturing tennis' elusive Grand Slam is
gaining steam.
In Australia, the world's
top-ranked player showed his dominance by becoming the first
man since 1980 to capture a major championship without
losing a single set in the tournament. Although the feat
hasn't been accomplished since Rod Laver in 1969, leading
online sportsbook Pinnacle
Sports now lists
Roger Federer at just 3/1 to complete the Grand Slam in
2007.
Pinnacle Sports originally
released odds on the number of Grand Slam singles titles won
by Roger Federer prior to the start of this year's
Australian Open. Now with the first major tournament already
under his belt, the bettors at Pinnacle Sports believe
Federer has a very good chance to complete the Grand Slam
this year.
Knowing that the world's
top player has never won the French Open, Pinnacle Sports
lists the chances that Federer falls just one title short of
completing the Grand Slam for the third time in his career
as a 3/2 favorite.
The odds that Federer will
finish the year with just two major championships currently
stands at 5/2, while the most unlikely scenario is that
Federer will close 2007 with only one Grand Slam title at
11/1 odds.
"Although history would
have you believe it's nearly impossible to win the Grand
Slam, nothing appears to be out of Roger Federer's reach,"
said Simon Noble of Pinnacle Sports. "While the red clay at
Roland-Garros has been his Achilles heel, Federer is no
pushover and will likely enter the French as only a slight
underdog to two-time reigning champion Rafael Nadal. If he
can conquer the French Open, the experts will consider the
Grand Slam a virtual lock for Federer who has dominated
Wimbledon and the US Open in recent years."
