More than £62,000 matched on the Swiss at exchange's lowest odds before another shock defeat.
Roger Federer slumped to his 10th defeat this season when beaten 2-6 7-5 6-4 by unseeded Frenchman Gilles Simon in the Rogers Cup in Toronto - and his Betfair backers were left reeling.
He won the first set 6-2 and unsurprisingly traded at [1.01] in the second - with over £62,000 being matched at the minimum price - but Simon managed to pull of a remarkable upset.
Simon was matched at a high of [80.0] to win the match on Betfair.
With Fed out, Rafael Nadal heads the market at [2.86], tucked in close behind is Novak Djokovic on [3.2].
