Why Roger Federer is a good bet +147
Roger Federer is playing like the FedEx of old, mailing in victories like they’re nothing. Okay, it did take Federer 5 sets to dispatch of Rafael Nadal. But, he won the match. Before beating Nadal in the semifinals, Federer beat Kei Nishikori. Both of those tennis players are much tougher than who Novak Djokovic had to face.
More importantly? Federer is a master on grass. Unless Nadal wore him out on Friday, Roger should have enough to make this a competitive match. The longer it continues the better his chances. He might extend the match long enough to get the upset win over Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic won Wimbledon last year. He hasn’t slowed down at all from last year to this year. Unless he just isn’t on his game, Djokovic should beat Roger Federer on Sunday.

Roger Federer vs Novak Djokovic Wimbledon Men’s Finals Betting Analysis:
Djokovic should be favored. He won Wimbledon last year and he’s owned Roger Federer in the last 5 head-to-head matchups. However, Djokovic showed versus Roberto Bautista Agut that he’s not unstoppable. Agut won an entire set against Djokovic in the semifinals.
Federer needed a tiebreaker set in the first to take it, but he won the set. Not only that, but Roger battled Rafa while Djokovic got to take on Agut. Going back to the semifinals, Federer took down Kei Nishikori, a more highly ranked tennis player than David Goffin.
Djokovic has pranced to the Wimbledon Finals while Federer has had to battle. The key question is whether those tough battles took too much out of 37-year-old Federer. They might have, but Roger’s playing so well, he has to be the pick here. Djokovic has never won back-to-back Wimbledon Championships. Federer could rediscover some of that old magic on Sunday and take the title and trophy.
