Australian Open Final Betting Has Roger Federer As Clear Favourite Against Rafael Nadal
Friday 30 January 2009 at 14:24
Rafael Nadal has today booked his place in the Australian Open Final and he will face old rival Roger Federer. Although either Federer or Nadal winning is usually bad news for the bookies, they are celebrating as they had huge liabilities on Andy Murray to win a first Grand Slam.
Fed Express The Hot Favourite
Roger Federer defeated Andy Roddick in the semi final and has been extremely impressive so far in the Australian Open. He is the 8/13 favourite with Paddy Power to win the Australian Open and he is expected to win.
Nadal Has Good Federer Record
Rafael Nadal defeated Fernando Verdasco in his semi final in an epic match. Nadal is the now the 13/10 outsider in the final with Paddy Power. Punters backing Nadal will be buoyed that Nadal has a record of twelve wins and six losses against Federer but Nadal has never won the Australian Open and this is the first time the two have met on the hard courts of Melbourne.
