    Wimbledon Women's Finals. Serena Williams vs Simona Halep

    Serena -185
    Halep +160

    Serena has made it 2/3 grand slam finals losing both. Losing last year in wimbledon finals to Kerber and losing US Open to Osaka.

    Can she finally win her first major post baby???

    Halep looked damn impressive today beating the better opponent b/t the 2 semi finals match ups.

    Thoughts?

    Yesterday it looked like Williams was having ankle troubles. I'll take Halep.

    I'll take Halep +160. She has looked very strong this tourney, in particular the last few matches. Serena's had a pretty easy run to the finals, so will be good to see her tested.

    Ankles not meant for a truck to be on top of them.

    Serena Williams is the only tennis legend that’s the biggest choker of all times

    She has epic losses in Majors as a massive favorite unlike any other great woman or man

    She’s a high-risk play

    I agree here. Kerber lost early. Barty lost as well right before Serena.

    Serena's serve is far better than Halep's and Halep isn't the same player on grass, she's always been much better on clay, there is a report that Serena was training obsessively since she wants the record at wimbledon, Halep has choked in the final round before too.

    You might be right, I’m sure you know more about and follow tennis way more than I do. I just don’t like the “easy path” argument against. You beat the ppl put in front of you. Never understood why the fact her draw was easier matters in this match?

    I just mentioned it because I think Serena's odds are a bit skewed based on the results thus far. She hasn't really faced a tough opponent yet. I'm not sure she would have gotten to this point if she faced tougher opponents. She's not the Serena of old. Still very good, but in my opinion, not as good as Halep. I just think the value is with Halep. Serena could very well win, for sure, but I think Halep +160 is a good play based on those odds, her play, and her talent.

    Fair enough, thanks for the response as I always been curious why that seems to matter to ppl. That makes sense tho.

    Hoping I either sleep in or am busy Sat morning then I’ll just pass., if I wake up early and bored I might do something stupid!! Lol

    i agree, you can't control who wins or loses other matches. Just focus on your own and move on......

    HOWEVER.....

    playing a better player long term prepares you for another great player.

    Its Halep or no play

    Serena isn't moving very well imho

    Her serve is still massive but her mobility scares me....too much limping between points too

    Can see a mental breakdown midway thru second set

    That said, Halep needs to play good defense and get depth on her shots, and Halep did both incredibly well last 2 rounds

    The top players always take their game to another level when you get deep in the tournament, the value is likely with Serena because she hasn't looked that great until the last match in the semifinal. Halep is a good player but she can't serve her way out of trouble the way Serena can.

    The problem with betting Halep... is that she's a big choker herself

    She's declined a bit but Mr. Wiiliams has beaten her in 9/10; Serena or nothing.

    Williams can't be trusted in the finals with those odds. I know most of you tennis noobs think it's easy money but I would not recommend betting a lot on Williams.

    Serena should take this home and retire from tennis.

    Going small on over21.5/22 games.

    remember that Serena absolutely owns Halep

    even with less mobility, Serena has a big mental and power edge here

    Serena or nothing for me but I hope Halep beats her

    Halep will disappear inside Serena's butt-cheeks.

    Serena looking out of sorts early on

    Halep is matching Serena's pace as well
