U.S. star tennis player Serena Williams has defeated Germany’s Annika Beck on Sunday 6-3, 6-0 in 51 minutes in the third round of Wimbledon, which is also the 300th Grand Slam victory for Williams throughout her career.
Following Sunday’s victory, Williams still has six Grand Slam wins to make in order to equalize the record of Martina Navratilova.
Serena, 34, is set to play against the Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova who eliminated the American Sloane Stephens.
In case Williams won Wimbledon this year, she will equalize Steffi Graf’s record, who has won 22 Grand Slam titles. EFE
According to leading Pay-Per-Head (PPH) provider IDSca.com, based in Costa Rica, women’s matches at Wimbledon attract a substantial amount of wagering action.
The preliminary outright odds set by sportsbooks in Costa Rica for the Wimbledon women’s championship were Sharapova at 14 -prior to her shocking revelation about taking performance-enhancing drugs; Petra Kvitova at 6 and Williams as the favorite at 2.
Williams and Kuznetsova will meet in the fourth round of the 2016 Wimbledon. Current odds favor Williams at 5/1.
Coming off her best performance, Williams has only three matches and has won 86 percent of first serve points. In the last two matches, Serena has 79 winners with points earned very quickly.
Given her recent performance, Williams is expected to overpower all her opponents as she heads to the finals, provided that she keeps playing as she has thus far in Wimbledon. With ten straight matches played and won on a grass court, Williams is the clear favorite and could defeat Kuznetsova in all straight sets.
Williams has also made headlines in the entertainment world. Her romance with Canadian hip-hop star Drake ended with rumors of a pregnancy in 2015.
