Novak Djokovic is the 4/6 favourite to win the Australian Open with William Hill, after his five set epic against Andy Murray. Rafael Nadal is 6/5 to win the tournament.

The most likely outcome is a 3-0 victory for Djokovic, offered at 7/2, while a 3-1 victory is 14/5 and 3-2 is 9/2. Hills offer 5/2 that the match goes to five sets.

“We went 8/1 pre-tournament for a Nadal victory and as a result we are big Djokovic supporters in the final. The five set match against Murray will have taken it out of him and hopefully he can win it in straight sets,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Andy Murray is 4/6 with William Hill to announce his retirement never having won a singles Major - but 11/10 finally to break his duck before he quits.

Djokovic is now 14/1 to complete the Grand Slam this year, with Nadal 25/1.

Andy Murray is now 2/9 to fail to win a Grand Slam this year, 11/4 to win one, 33/1 to win two and 125/1 to win three.

William Hill went top price 8/1 on Rafael Nadal the day before the start of the Australian Open and Rafa punters took full advantage with the price offered all day.

Having been largely unpopular in the build up to the tournament, he racked up six figure liabilities during the course of the day.

“Rafa proved to be very popular at 8/1 and he dispelled any underlying injury worries, efficiently dispatching Alex Kuznetsov, dropping just six games,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It looks like we might have decided to take on the wrong man.“

Nadal faces Tommy Haas in the next round of the Open and Hills make him 1/33 to defeat the German.

Roger Federer is also massively odds on to win his match on Wednesday and he is 1/100 to defeat Andreas Beck.

‘This is fast becoming the mystery man’s trademark bet - he has now included Djokovic in ten of his bets - they are both of terrific winning runs - but one defeat would bring both of them crashing back to earth with a huge bump- although even losing this bet would leave him over £40,000 in front‘ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
