BetOnline Sportsbook has already rolled out tennis betting lines and odds on all the exciting action scheduled for Day 3 at Wimbledon.

Tennis Betting Line: Mardy Fish -150 Janko Tipsarevic +110

Match Time: 07:00 A.M. Eastern Time Wednesday June 24 2009

Tennis Prediction: For all the American Mardy Fish possess, formidable serve and devastating strokes, he can be inconsistent and streaky. Therefore, this is his match to lose. He is the favourite at -150 but he is a modest favourite owing to his unpredictability . He ranks a solid No.25 in the world and takes an 18-13 mark with one title into Wimbledon. No.51 Janko Tipsarevic is a player that hovers in and around the top 50 or so. He does enough to hang out and coast mid-rung. At times, he can come up with sensational performances. This season, Tipsarevic is 17-16 on the season; his best win came at the World Team Championships when he took Serbia to the title. There is definitely some value in betting on Tipsarevic at +110. He is after all level with Fish 1-1 in career head-to-heads, having beaten him in Sydney earlier this year. Fish levelled the score at the ATP Madrid Masters last month.

Tennis Betting Line: Tommy Robredo -800 Stefan Koubek +425

Match Time: 07:00 A.M. Eastern Time Wednesday June 24 2009

Tennis Prediction: Tommy Robredo is coming off an encouraging French Open run in which he featured in the quarters and was the last Spaniard standing. Robredo is a solid No.15 in the world and takes an impressive 32-12 mark with two titles into Wimbledon. Stefan Koubek is a journeyman player that ranks No.189 in the world. In ATP level action, Koubek is 7-8 before Wimbledon. This match is Robredo’s to win. He is the firm favourite and save for Koubek playing out of his mind, Robredo should advance.

Tennis Betting Line: Dudi Sela +185 Rainer Schuettler -250

Match Time: 07:00 A.M. Eastern Time Wednesday June 24 2009

Tennis Prediction: Rainer Schuettler is a veteran player at 33-years-old but the German seems to be playing some of his best tennis these past few weeks. He has proven to be a bit of a grassie. Schuettler weighs in at No.29 in the ATP ranking. He was the 2008 Wimbledon semi-finalist (l. to Nadal) and recently, he warmed up for Wimbledon at the Ordina Open wherein he reached the semis, lost to Benjamin Becker. Coming into Wimbledon he was 10-17 for the season and 4-2 on grass. He is bidding for a spot in the third round against No.46 Dudi Sela who arrived in London 12-11 on the season.

Tennis Betting Line: Simon Greul +1200 Novak Djokovic -5000

Match Time: 07:00 A.M. Eastern Time Wednesday June 24 2009

Tennis Prediction: Djokovic did not have an easy time of it in his opening match against Julien Benneteau, needing four sets to send the Frenchman packing. Next up is lightweight Simon Gruel of Germany, who weighs in at No.106 in the world and boasts a 3-5 mark in ATP action. The 28 year-old German is a huge underdog and in the eyes of many he will be blown out tomorrow.
