What a fantastic tournament that was. Opportunities seemed to pop out of the tennis court all over the place and we finished with an epic final. \u00a353m was traded on the final, \u00a349m on Federer!<\/p>\n

There were several opportunities to lay Federer at short odds and as the match wore on your could easily see it heading for a fifth set. During that fifth set it was very even, but as we strayed into the final stages of that titanic battle you could see Roddick weakening a little bit and Federer retaining his composure. I felt so sorry for Roddick who had really put in so much into these two weeks. At the end of the day Federer broke Roddick just once during the match, but that was enough for the championship. Before the match I went back and listened to an interview that Roddick did a couple of years ago with Jonathan Ross.<\/a> I remember them talking about grass, clay and Federer. It turned out to be a useful hint of what was to happen.<\/p>\n

With Roddick weakening during the latter stages of the fifth set you could easily see the market discounting this into the price of Federer. I eventually jumped on board Federer at 1.43 and just minutes later it was all over. Probably one of the better trades I had made for the tournament and it just happened to be the last.<\/p>\n

My confidence in tennis trading is now on a high after such a decent French Open and Wimbledon. I’m glad I’ve put so much effort into the markets in the last couple of years.\u00a0 If you haven’t traded Tennis before, then give it a try. It’s great fun!<\/p>\n
