The Wimbledon semi finals games have been played and Roger Federer is through to the final against Andy Roddick and Venus and Serena Williams will take on each other in the final on Sunday July 5th.

Wimbledon semi-final schedule and results

This will be the eighth time that the Williams sisters will go head to head in the finals.

Betting odds have been set by Bodog.com with Venus Williams [-149 ML] against Serena Williams at [+120 ML].

Venus is the favourite to win, as Serena hasn't won since 2003. 

Roger Federer is in his seventh Wimbledon final after beating Tommy Hass in a 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 6-3 victory. If he wins on Sunday he will break the record he shares with Pete Sampras of 14 grand slam titles.

Betting odds for Roger Federer:

Going into the Men’s Semi Finals, Roger Federer [-1000 ML] had been listed as a huge sports betting odds favorite against Tommy Haas [+600 ML] and he delivered in grand fashion.

It's anyone's guess as to who is going to win the Mens and Womens Finals at Wimbledon on Sunday, but it looks like it's going to be an exciting afternoon of tennis.

I'm disappointed that Murray isn't in the men's final but he's got a lot of career ahead of him and he'll get there yet. Although I have to say that I think the Williams v. Williams women's will be somewhat dull - the 'power game' doesn't excite me.
