Bet on 2016 Summer Olympics Tennis: Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams Favorites

You can bet on the 2016 Summer Olympics tennis tournaments for both men and women.

The odds to win the men’s tournament had Novak Diokovic at -150 and Andy Murray at 2-1.  Both are the only Olympians with single digit odds in this category.

World number one Novak Djokovic was handed a blockbuster Olympics opener on Thursday when he was drawn to face Juan Martin del Potro, who beat him for bronze at London in 2012.  Djokovic’s best performance to date was a bronze medal at the Beijing Games in 2008.

"It would be ranked as one of the highest if not the highest achievement that I would have in my career," said Djokovic of potentially winning an Olympic gold medal.

"But I've got to stay humble, I've got to take a very cautious mindset into this Olympic Games. I have a bronze from Beijing, London I fell short but I always played with my heart and all I had when I play for my country.

"The Olympic Games is much larger than tennis, much larger than you. The first thing I felt when I stepped into the village was that incredible active energy. It inspires you and motivates you to give your best."

For the women’s tournament it is Serena Williams with slightly better than EVEN odds at +150.

Garbine Muguruza was coming in at +450 odds in this category.
