Following the record breaking £8 million turnover for the Andy Murray vs Rafa Nadal showdown last week records have again been broken for the Wimbledon final between Federer and Nadal early estimates are putting the betting turnover at £10 million.
William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said “This game has the potential to smash the current record and become the first time that an eight figure sum has been riding on the outcome of a single tennis match”, Sharpe continued “‘You have two of the most popular sportsmen in world sport who look evenly matched about to play a game about which every sports fan will have an opinion as to the outcome. We have already taken bets of £30,000; £25,000 and £15,000 for Federer, and a £10,000 bet for Nadal, who will cost us more if he wins.”
William Hill currently have Roger Federer as the favourite to win and claim the £750,000 men’s single prize with odds of 4/5 with Nadal being quoted at even money to collect his 6th title of the year.
