Australian Open 2009: Men's odds: latest
27th January, 2009
What a difference a day makes! Federer is no longer the hot favourite win, can you guess who is? Let's take a look at the latest odds:
Nadal, R: 69/50 (canbet)
Federer, R: 2/1 (sportingbet)
Tsonga, JW: 10/1 (victor chandler)
Del Potro, JM: 28/1 (totesport)
Verdasco, F: 40/1 (totesport)
Roddick, A: 50/1 (totesport)
Simon, G: 50/1 (sportingbet)
Our thoughts:
Men's tennis is so competitve, the odds are certainly useful as a guideline but as we have seen, they are constantly changing.
Federer and Nadal seem to be favourites coming into most tournaments- both have incredible records when it comes to winning matches and titles, but it is important that we don't rule out the rest of the field.
Tsonga's chances of winning seem to have improved, and despite having a a lower back injury, he seems eager to win. Also, don't forget that he beat Nadal in the semi-finals in Australia last year before losing to Novak Djokovic in the finals.
