TENNIS BETTING: Stan James bet 1/2 that Andy Murray and Roger Federer reach the final of the Australian Open and 6/4 that the Final is Marin Cilic V Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
World number one Federer is Betfred’s 10/11 odds on favourite to win his fourth Melboure title after winning 13 games in a row to recover from a seemingly desperate position in the second set of his quarter final match with Nikolay Davydenko which he won 2-6 6-3 6-0 7-5.
Andy Murray is a best price 11/8 at 888Sport and Paddy Power to win his first Grand Slam but must first overcome Coral‘s 18/1 outsider Marin Cilic in Thursday morning’s semi final scheduled for 8am.
The Scot is a best price of 2/9 at Stan James and William Hill whilst bet365 are a stand out 4/1 against the Croatian upsetting the odds.
bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth “Cilic may have handed out a beating to Murray in last year’s US Open, but the Scot was troubled by a wrist injury and we’re happy to be best price about the Croatian at the current odds.”
Murray is 11/8 at Boylesports to win in straight sets, 5/2 at Victor Chandler to win 3-1 and 13/2 with totesport to win in five sets.
At around midnight on Thursday night Federer is 2/9 at Paddy Power to beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (9/2 Betchronicle) who won an epic five set match with former Champion Novak Djovovic. The Frenchman is Betdaq‘s 16/1 shot for an unlikley championship win.
Boylesports make the Swiss Superstar 13/10 to win in straight sets, bet365 got 5/2 about him winning in four and Betfred are a top 13/2 for Federer to win 3-2.
The bookies have been busy compiling over 25 markets on both matches.
