Wimbledon Odds 2012: Longshots with Best Chance to Win Men's Title

Those looking to bet on any of the favorites in the men’s bracket at Wimbledon likely will not get much in return for their investment, but there are longshots capable of shocking the tennis world.

According to Bovada, Novak Djokovic is the favorite at 3-2 odds to win the tournament, with Rafael Nadal at a close second, receiving 2-1 odds.

Then comes six-time champion Roger Federer at 4-1 odds, followed by Andy Murray, who offers a slightly better payout at 11-1. 

But for those unimpressed by the action on the leading contenders, here are the underdogs who just might turn in a monumental upset.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 28-1 odds

The Frenchman is the fifth seed in London and has posted some impressive performances at Grand Slams recently.

He has reached the quarterfinals at three of his last four majors and defeated Roger Federer to reach the semifinals at Wimbledon last year.

Tsonga gave Djokovic a score at the French Open, and it took the world’s top-ranked player all five sets to get past him.

If none of the top-four seeds look like decent bets, it makes sense to throw your lot in with No. 5.

Juan Martin Del Potro, 40-1

Djokovic, Nadal and Federer have combined to win 28 of the last 29 Slams. Del Potro won the only title the Big Three missed. 

The 23-year-old Argentine won the U.S. Open in 2009. He's the ninth-ranked player at the tournament and has reached the quarterfinals at both majors in 2012.

At Roland Garros, he jumped on Roger Federer and took the first two sets of the quarterfinal match. But the Swiss showed poise and determination and came all the way back to beat the youngster. 

There's no doubt that Del Potro is talented, and as he proved in 2009, that talent can turn into a title at any tournament.

Tomas Berdych, 33-1

Roger Federer has lost two consecutive quarterfinal matches at Wimbledon. Last year, he was defeated by Tsonga, and Berdych took him out in 2010.

Berdych then went on to beat Djokovic in the semifinal but was unable to defeat Nadal to win the tournament. 

The 26-year-old Czech has proven that he can be successful on the grass in London. He's the tournament’s No. 6 seed. 

Berdych was one win away from a title in 2010. He's a longshot to do the same in 2012, but the fact that he beat Federer and Djokovic in the same tournament gives him a chance.
