The 2026 Wimbledon Championships have kicked off in style, with Day Three bringing excitement and drama to the All England Lawn Tennis Club. As African sports bettors, we're keen to provide you with the latest odds and insights from the action on the court.
One of the biggest talking points of the day has been the return of tennis legend Serena Williams. After a long hiatus, Williams made her singles return to Wimbledon, competing in a highly anticipated match against Maya Joint. Although she narrowly lost the match, Williams' comeback has sent shockwaves throughout the tennis world.
According to Bet9ja, Williams' odds to win the match were around 2.50 ( Betika 2.45), while Joint's odds to win were around 1.55 (1xBet 1.60). These odds reflect the general consensus that Joint was the favourite to win, but Williams' incredible determination and skill made for a thrilling match.
In another high-profile match, Jannik Sinner took on Nuno Borges on Centre Court. Sinner, the world No. 1, was the clear favourite to win, with odds of around 1.10 (Betway 1.12) at Bet9ja. Borges, on the other hand, had odds of around 7.00 (Sportybet 7.50). While Sinner ultimately emerged victorious, Borges put up a good fight, making for an entertaining match.
For African sports bettors, the odds on set betting and total games markets are particularly interesting. For example, in the Williams-Joint match, the odds on set betting were around 3.00 (Melbet 3.10) for Joint to win the first set, while the odds on Williams to win the second set were around 2.20 (Hollywoodbets 2.30). These odds reflect the general trend of Joint dominating the first set before Williams making a strong comeback in the second set.
Meanwhile, the odds on total games markets were around 12.00 (BetKing 12.50) for over 28.5 games to be played. While Joint ultimately won the match 3-6 7-6 (8-6) 3-6, the total number of games played was 29, which just fell short of the over 28.5 games market.
For fans of African tennis, the news of Alex Eala's historic first tournament as a Grand Slam seed is sure to be exciting. Eala, a Filipino tennis star, faces a tough opponent in her first match, but her odds to win the tournament are around 20.00 (1xBet 25.00) at Bet9ja.
As African sports bettors, it's essential to remember to bet responsibly. The thrill of betting on your favourite sports can be addictive, so be sure to set limits and prioritize your financial well-being.
