Australian Open 2009, winners odds: Men
26th January, 2009
With the exit of Murray, 4th seed and one of the hot favourites to win, we now take a look at the latest odds to see who the bookies now think with come out on top at this year's Australian Open :
Australian Open Winner: Men's
Federer, R: 21/10 (sportingbet)
Nadal, R: 11/4 (totesport)
Djokovic, N: 7/1 (sportingbet)
Tsonga, JW: 20/1 (totesport)
Del Potro, JM: 25/1 (skybet)
Roddick, A: 33/1 (totesport)
Simon, G: 50/1 (sportingbet)
Verdasco, F: 80/1 (totesport)
Blake, J: 125/1 (boylesport)
Our thoughts:
Despite having had a tough 5 set match recently, Federer always seems to survive. There may be younger, fresher players on tour now but don't rule out Federer- hailed as one of the tennis greats, he will not go down without a fight.
Although his odds of winning are less, Verdasco is playing well and having just taken out 4th seed Andy Murray, must be feeling confident- he could do very well in this competition. Keep a close eye on the top Spaniards - Verdasco and Nadal.
