Petra Kvitova odds of winning her first Wimbledon Championship were initially set at 8 to 1 and today the Czech Republic tennis player has fulfilled her dream. Men's Wimbledon odds were still available for betting. US gamblers scroll down.
Kvitova stunned favored Maria Sharopova, winning for the very first time.
The eighth-seeded Kvitova beat the fifth-seeded Sharapova 6-3, 6-4 Saturday.
"It's hard to find some words if I'm standing here with the trophy and see the great players in the Royal Box,'' Kvitova said. "Well, I'm so happy that I won.''
Sharapova had this to say following the loss: “I've had amazing support over so many years and to be back at this stage and holding the runner-up trophy this year is something. ... Obviously I would have wanted that big one. It's something I'm going to be back for and I'm hoping to get again.”
Entering the final, Kvitova was listed with just 5 to 6 odds of beating Sharapova, quite the drop off from the 8 to 1 odds available just two weeks ago.
Remember you can still bet on the Men's Wimbledon Tournament at William Hill. US gamblers can bet at BetDSI.com.
