Andrew Murray at 999-1 at Betfair

As one British tennis playing star exited Wimbledon today, another has firmly arrived in the shape of Andrew Murray - and some Betfair punters will be able to retire if he achieves the impossible next week.There has been £47 matched on the betting exchange at 999-1 and over £614 has been traded on him at odds of 799-1 or greater. He is currently a 74-1 chance on Betfair after today's win.Murray brushed aside the fourteenth seed Radek Stepanek in straight sets having been a general 4-1 (4.9) chance before the match. Stepanek, as the 1-5 favourite, had been hotly fancied to end all British hopes of a Wimbledon champion, but that was not to be the case. Some lucky punters also got 15-1 about the Scot winning the match in straight sets and he has also been backed at a high of 74-1 to win his quarter.Henman had earlier in the day lost his title hopes having been backed at 1-20 on Betfair to win his second round match
