Wimbledon odds and tips 2017: Betting guide for Day One

WIMBLEDON gets underway today in SW19 with a host of big names in action.

But where to place your hard-earned cash? Sun Sport guides you through Day One of the Championships.

ACCUMULATOR 

They always say, ‘you can’t win Wimbledon in the first week, but you can certainly lose it’.

And, as Novak Djokovic proved last year, that can certainly be the case if you’re mind is not focused.

The Serbian was the returning champion to SW19 – but was dumped out in the 3rd round to American Sam Querrey.

It’s the American who’s of interest today when he lines up against Italian Thomas Fabbiano.

If you include that match, along with wins for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Nick Kyrgios, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka – you end up with a tidy little bet of evens (add to your betslip).

BET: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Nick Kyrgios, Andy Murray, Sam Querrey and Stan Wawrinka to win, evens (add to your betslip)

VALUE

Backing favourites to beat much lower ranked opposition is just one way to bet.

If you’re looking for value take a look at the set betting market.

Andy Murray, Sam Querrey and Stan Wawrinka all to win 3-0 is 8/1, which looks good value to us.

Something to keep an eye on.

BET: Andy Murray, Sam Querrey and Stan Wawrinka to win 3-0, 8/1 (add to your betslip)

LONG-SHOT

Fancy something a bit longer?

Elina Svitolina is the fourth seed for the Ladies’ Draw but has had here injury problems.

The Ukrainian faces Australian Ashleigh Barty in the first round and is surely worth a punt at 5/4 (add to your betslip).

Double that up with home-town hero Laura Robson takes that punt to a healthy 5/1 (add to your betslip)

BET: Elina Svitolina and Laura Robson to win, 5/1 (add to your betslip)
