There's good chance tennis betting fans will again see Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal battling in the men's final at Wimbledon this year, while it's also likely the Williams sisters will meet once more in the women's title match.

The Wimbledon Championships, the oldest tennis tournament in the world and one of the sport's four Grand Slam events, got underway Monday at the All England Club.

betED.com has Tennis Betting Odds for every match, in both the men's and women's competitions.

A Federer-Nadal final would mark the fourth time the two have clashed for the men's title at Wimbledon.

Federer, who won his sixth Wimbledon crown last year, enters the 2010 tournament as the top seed, even though he is ranked No. 2 in the world behind Nadal.

The Swiss star has already survived a scare at Wimbledon, as he went down two sets to Alejandro Falla of Colombia in the first round Monday before recovering and finishing Falla off in the fifth set.

Federer will go on to face seventh-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko, French Open semifinalists Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic and Jurgen Melzer of Austria, and fellow Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka.

Nadal, who won the 2008 Wimbledon, leads the bottom half of the draw. He was unable to play at last year's Wimbledon because of knee problems. Nadal, who captured his fifth French Open title earlier this month, will meet Kei Nishikori of Japan in the first round.

On the women's side, Serena Williams is the top seed as well as the No. 1-ranked player in the world heading into the tournament. Second-seeded sister and former No. 1 Venus heads up the bottom half of the draw.

Serena beat Venus in last year's title match, and Venus beat Serena in the 2008 finale.
