Nadal Disputes Favouritism In Wimbledon Odds Following Murray Defeat
Thursday 03 July 2008 at 12:19
Rafael Nadal is now just even money with Coral and Bet365 to win Wimbledon after he defeated Andy Murray in the semi final.
Nadal Versus Murray Was Biggest Betting Match Ever
Nadal won on straight sets in what was the biggest betting tennis match in history. Bookmakers estimated that £8m was bet on the game. William Hill are now offering 5/1 that Andy Murray will ever win Wimbledon in his lifetime. He is 33/1 with William Hill to win Wimbledon 2009 and 1/9 to reach the final before he retires.
Federer Still Wimbledon Favourite
Roger Federer is still clinging on to favouritism with Sportingbet at 10/11 and bookmakers strongly believe that it will be a Federer versus Nadal final as that outcome is just 1/12 with Paddy Power. Any other final is 6/1.
The Best Of The Rest
Of the remainder, Marat Safin is 40/1 with Sportingbet and Rainer Schuettler and Arnaud Clement are both 300/1 with Sportingbet.
