The dream of the Tsonga backers at 1000 is shattered

Tsonga trades at 1.5 during the final after being backed at 1000

The disappointment of Tsonga missing out on being only the second unseeded player of the Open era to win the Australian Open was rivalled by that of his backers who got him at odds of 1000. But those who did so can't have any complaints about not having good opportunities to lock in huge profits. The Frenchman traded at a low of 1.5 on the winner market (1.44 on the final's match odds market) after going a set up and looking in imperious form.

Djojkovic, who was matched at a high of 16 on the winner market, drifted to 3.1 at this stage, having gone off at around 1.4 for the final. He hit back by winning the next three sets to wrap up victory and become the first Serbian to win a Grand Slam. The 3-1 scoreline on the set betting market was matched at 68.

The winning double of Sharapova/Djokovic was matched at 100. Tsonga was matched at 15 to hit the most aces of the championship.
