Smash the bookies it’s Mega Monday
BRITS EYE UP DOUBLE
BOOKIES are facing game, set and match as Wimbledon fans pile cash on an historic British twin win.
Superstars Andy Murray and Johanna Konta are both being backed for glory at SW19.
Punters are hoping to clean up by betting huge sums on a Muzza-Konta double at 33-1.
And if Andy’s brother Jamie wins the mixed doubles title and Marcus Willis bags the men’s doubles – it could be a record payout for the bookies.
Ladbrokes have set odds for a clean sweep of Brit talent with Murry and Konta today at 6-1.
Nicola McGeady, from the bookies, said: “If Konta and Murray won their titles, we would be looking at one of the most expensive Wimbledons on record.”
Defending champ Andy, who is still battling a hip injury, is set for a showdown with Frenchman Benoit Paire.
And Johanna takes on No21 seed Caroline Garcia on what fans have dubbed Mega Monday.
Johanna’s coach Wim Fissette has ® revealed he grills her on every aspect of her opponent’s game before she sets foot on court. He said: “I text her the game plan the night before and she reads it. It’s quite a long message. “Five minutes before she goes out on court she repeats the messages back to me. “You could say it is like a little exam and a bit unusual but when she is 100% clear about her intentions, that is when Jo plays her best matches.” Hundreds of fans have camped overnight for a bid to grab a slice of Brit success. It is the first time in 40 years Britain has seeded players in the fourth round of both the men’s and ladies’ singles. Meanwhile, Jamie Murray and partner Martina Hingis take on Czechs Lucie Hradecka and Roman Jebavy in the mixed doubles tomorrow. And Brit underdogs Marcus Willis and Jay Clarke face 16th seeds Mate Pavic and Oliver Marach.
