World number four trades at heavy odds-on to make quarter-finals but goes out in five sets.
Britain's Andy Murray was dumped out of the Australian Open this morning after losing a five-setter to Spanish Fernando Verdasco.
Murray touched a low of [1.05] to win the match on Betfair after taking the first set 6-2. But his opponent - who traded at a high of [18.0] - rallied to take the second.
The pair traded sets thereafter with Verdasco landing the decider 6-4. The Spaniard will play Jo Wilfried-Tsonga in the quarter-finals.
The world number 15 has been backed at a high of [690.0] to win the tournament but is now in to [36.0]. Murray had traded as the favourite for the title, touching a low of 3.35 to lift the trophy. Rafael Nadal is the current favourite at [2.52], with Roger Federer available at [3.45] to back.
