William Hill also offer 500/1 that any fifth set goes on longer than 138 games in 2010. "Today was the day when the whole of the UK were reminded that there is a tennis tournament going on as well as the World Cup. We have taken five times the number of bets in play than normal but have made less than £100 on the match." said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams. Isner outlasted Frenchman Mahut to win 6-4 3-6 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 (7-3) 70-68 in the longest match in history, taking 11 hours and five minutes over three days. Isner is now priced at 125/1 to win this year's Wimbledon Championship. |
