Can Brian Baker’s Underdog Run Continue At Wimbledon?
Unheralded American Brian Baker has been installed as the $2.75 outsider by online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au for his fourth Round clash against Philipp Kohlschreiber ($1.46).
Baker was priced at a mammoth $501 to win Wimbledon but has firmed onto the eighth line of betting at $126 as his dream run continues.
“One punter thinks he can go all the way, putting $50 on Baker at $151 to take out the tournament,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.
“A small batch of punters give Baker some chance to win through to the quarter finals as well. He’s attracted 22% of the money to beat Kohlschreiber.”
Novak Djokovic has firmed from $2.63 into $1.83 to win the Men’s title ahead of Roger Federer ($4.00), Andy Murray ($6.50) and Jo-Wilfred Tsonga ($10).
In the Women’s, Maria Sharapova remains the $3.00 favourite followed by Serena Williams ($4.00) and Petra Kvitova ($5.50).
