No-one gave Roddick a chance against Murray but he played a devastating match with both power and finesse, so much so that he may well be worth supporting in the final against Federer. It is a two horse race now and on any given day either one of them can win, but with Federer a best price 1/7 odds on, there is no value backing him, but Roddick at 9/2 is a different proposition. If Roddick can serve at the same level as he did against Murray then not even Federer will break him and it is therefore likely that each set could be decided by Tie-Breaks, if that happens then Roddick would be favourite having won 90% of all Tie-Breaks played this season.

Background
Wimbledon is probably the best known Tennis tournament in the world. First played in 1877, it is the oldest of the four major tennis championships and is the only major Tennis tournament to be played on grass. The event is played annually at the All England Tennis Club during the last week in June and the first week in July and despite being played during the middle of the Great British summer, the weather during the Wimbledon Championships has become infamous over the years as rain and other adverse weather conditions often causes numerous interruptions to the play over the two weeks. However, that will no longer be the case on Centre Court from now on after the the retractable roof was fitted earlier this year. The roof and the fitting of floodlights will mean that tennis can continue on Centre Court until much later in the evening. Wimbledon will no doubt remain one of the greatest sporting events held in Britain.
Wimbledon Championship Crowds
An impressive half a million people pass through the famous SW19 gates over the two week period of the championship to watch the tennis action being played across Wimbledon's 19 courts. The most famous cout is Centre Court, which has staged both the Wimbledon Mens Singles final and Womens Singles final since it first opened in 1922. The Centre Court is currently undergoing redevelopment which will see the capacity increase from 13,810 to 15,000 in addition to a retractable roof, which will spell the end of any finals being suspended due to rain from 2009 onwards.
Wimbledon Famous Strawberries and Cream
In addition to the top class tennis action, the two week Championships are as much about Wimbledon traditions as anything else. Thousands of visitors enjoy all the action on the courts whilst enjoying such luxuries as jugs of Pimms, fine Champagne and most famous of all - strawberries and cream! An estimatd 63,000 pounds of strawberries and 1,600 gallons of fresh cream are consumed over the two weeks of Wimbledon. Such traditions have become synonymous with the tournament and add to the unique atmosphere created by the crowd. They have become very much a part of Wimbledon history and play a vital role in adding to the competitions rich heritage and help maintain its status as the best known tennis tournament in the world.
