Sky Bet make Nadal favourite to retain title at SW19
Andy Murray's Queen's triumph has prompted
Sky Bet to cut the Scot's odds of ending his wait for a Grand Slam title at Wimbledon this year to
11/2.
The world number four impressively overcame the big-serving Andy Roddick in the semis before battling back from a set down to beat Rafael Nadal's conqueror Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in a rain-delayed final.
Monday's success was a second AEGON Championship title for the 24-year-old and adds to the expectations of him becoming the first British player to win the men's title at the All England Club in 75 years.
The online bookmaker's favouritism, however, remains with world number one Rafael Nadal, who is 2/1 to retain the title, while Roger Federer is shortly behind at 9/4 for a seventh SW19 crown.
The 16-time Grand Slam winner has moved ahead of the season's form player Novak Djokovic to second favourite in Sky Bet's outright market after proving he is far from a spent force by emerging triumphant in their meeting in the French Open semi-final, putting an end to the Serb's stunning 43-match winning streak.
That victory prompted the online bookmaker to cut Federer's price from 7/2, while Djokovic has drifted out to 10/3 from 9/4 for a first Wimbledon title.
Murray headed to Queen's some way back in the market at 6/1 to secure his first Grand Slam title at the All England Club but has been trimmed to 11/2 following his victory on Monday.
Further back Juan Martin Del Potro is 16/1 to triumph on the English grass, Robin Soderling and Andy Roddick are available at 25/1, while Tsonga and last-year's finalist Tomas Berdych are 33/1 shots.
