The Men’s Singles event at the 2015 Wimbledon Championships saw small renaissance of the serving and volleying approach so far, and this helped Richard Gasquet to turn the game over in the fifth set against Stanislas Wawrinka, when it looked that the momentum was on the Swiss’ side. Seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer wins serve-and-volley points more often than ever since the 2003 tournament at the All England Club. Both of them will meet baseline players in the semis, probably the two best tennis players in the world currently in that regard, and this means that there are some exciting matches ahead of us. Especially the Federer vs Murray semi, that will be something like an early final.

Once upon a time serving and volleying was the ultimate rule for Wimbledon, as virtually every player approached the net to settle things as soon as possible. Tennis has changed however, but serving and volleying didn’t disappear for good. The real gamblers of the game use it again, and use it more often than ever since 2007.

According to gambling facts, serve-and-volley points per match are at 10.4 percent in this year’s Men’s Singles tournament at the Wimbledon Championships. For last year it was only 8 percent, but those players, who accepted that by approaching the net, they will clearly lose some points, however the odds will favor them on the long, are quite successful through the approach.
Roger Federer marched to the semifinals easily with his newly found game – he did not win so many serve-and-volley points since 2003, when he abandoned this approach – and Richard Gasquet was able to turn over the fifth set in his quarter-final against Stan Wawrinka via serving and volleying when things started to go to his opponent’s favor.

Andy Murray is in great form ahead of the 2015 Wimbledon championship, and he is tipped by many to reclaim the title this year after he succeeded two years ago. In 2013 he became the first British player to win the men’s single competition in 77 years, and fellow Briton Tim Henman thinks that 2015 could be the Scot’s year again. Murray, who was seeded third and could meet with top seed Novak Djokovic or second seed Roger Federer in the semifinal, lives in a stable relationship, which, unlike in the previous decades, now is almost a must for tennis players who want to compete for the biggest trophies.

SkySports.com: Andy Murray can win Wimbledon, says Tim Henman

Tim Henman expressed that Andy Murray, who enjoys the form of his life, has a considerable chance to win his second Wimbledon title two years after his first success in London. Henman, who was ranked number four in the ATP list in the past, fancies his fellow Brit to win the tournament after Murray went all the way to the semi-finals of the French Open and won his fourth Queen’s Club title.

Henman said, “This first six months of the year is as good as I’ve ever seen Murray play. He’s in the form of his life and is definitely in the best shape to fight for the Wimbledon title again. He’s won everything before on grass, so he will really fancy his chances.”

Followers of sports scores might remember that in 2013 Murray became the first British man who won in Wimbledon in 77 years. He already enjoyed a great clay season with titles in Munich and Madrid, and according to Henman, he could be able to capitalize on the momentum he gained.

BBC.com: Wimbledon 2015: Andy Murray seeded third; Rafael Nadal 10th

2013 British Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has been seeded third before this year’s tournament, with two-time Spanish Wimbledon winner Rafael Nadal dropped back to 10th. The low position of Nadal means that he could play against a top player as early as the round of 16.

The first seed obviously went to world number one Novak Djokovic, who is the defending champion and who also won the Roland Garros last month. Roger Federer, who won seven times in Wimbledon, has been seeded second. According to the draw, either of them could meet Andy Murray in the semifinal, online gambling news report.

Keen followers of live sports results might know that grass court performances had extra weight when the men’s seeding was done. This meant that Milos Raonic, who went all the way to the semifinals last year, was seeded ahead of David Ferrer, otherwise the seeding regarding the top eight reflects the current world ranking.

With the age of tennis playboys has long been passed, a stable relationship is considered as a significant contributor to the achievements of tennis players. Andy Murray is one of them, who acted like a real macho sportsman when he was younger, but became more modest during the years of his relationship with Kim Sears.

He expressed that “Marriage works,” after his title win in Madrid recently and he is expected to carry on playing in Wimbledon with his wedding ring tied to his shoe. On the contrary, as senior gambling blog readers might know, former Romanian Grand Slam winner Ilie Nastase claimed that during the time he ruled the court, he chased women like Casanova.

A 2007 study, that examined players in the top 100 of the ATP ranking between 1995 and 2005, found that married players performed far worse in the first year after their wedding than in the year before. The reason behind this is that the men’s competitiveness weakened as husbands. However, this all changed in the past decade, most notably with Roger Federer, who beat Pete Sampras’ Grand Slam record as a fresh husband.
