Stan Wawrinka vs Roger Federer Betting Preview
Stan Wawrinka came a long way and he is now the third seed at Wimbledon on, with a decent chance of making the semifinals. He had to play plenty of tiebreaks to get this far, but he kept his cool and only once needed more than three sets to eliminate his opponents. This afternoon, he will lock horns with perennial favorite Roger Federer, a player who defeated him on multiple occasions.

Stan Wawrinka vs Roger Federer Betting Tips
The Swiss veteran has won the Wimbledon tournaments before and in 2014 he hopes to do it once again, especially now that world number one Rafael Nadal has been eliminated. Even though the Spaniard was credited with the second chance to lift the trophy he would've been a formidable opponent and the remaining seeds rejoice knowing that he was sent packing.
Federer played one more tournament on grass prior to coming here to Wimbledon, winning four games in a row en route to a victory at Halle. The Swiss sensation had a fairly easy run to the top, with one player abandoning the match and another playing at half potential. In London, he is yet to drop a set and only once an opponent won five games in a set, with Roger limiting them to fewer than 4 games.
Stan Wawrinka chose to play 2 tournaments in a row in London and he came painfully close of winning the previous event. Dimitrov was the one who prevented him from playing the final but since that rather forgettable match, Stan played much better and conceded a single set en route to four consecutive wins.
He has a powerful first serve and is accurate enough to win games without even reaching the deuce, but he will need to play his a-game to eliminate his compatriot. In the most recent match against Feliciano Lopez, he needed back-to-back tiebreaks to prevail and did a fine job at annihilating the in-form Spaniard.
Key Facts
- Stan Wawrinka played against Federer on 15 occasions and won just twice, with his countryman winning 10 in a row.
- Wawrinka prevailed in the most recent match between the two Swiss players this year, but they are yet to compete on grass.
Stan Wawrinka vs Roger Federer Betting Prediction
Past performance suggests that Federer will be more than a match for Stan Wawrinka and bookmakers are in complete accord with this idea. Nevertheless, the odds for the favorites to prevail are too low to be taken seriously, prompting punters to consider the opposite scenario. In order to mitigate the risks, it is recommended to trust Stan Wawrinka to cover the last 3.5 games spread at odds above even value with BetVictor.
