But a William Hill agency spokesman cautioned that the hot money went to Nadal, who has lost the last two finals to Roger Federer but whose star is rising fast on grass.
“The biggest bet for Nadal as 64,000 dollars while the most for Murray as 2 000”, he said. “The match beat all records.”
A massive 16 million dollars was wagered on the match, where the Scot was crushed by Spain's all-powerful number two. Gaming officials say the previous mark was 10 million dollars.
Meanwhile, the 21-year-old Murray may be losing ground in British affections to a talented teenager.
Ladbroke's has tipped 14-year-old girl's semi-finalist Laura Robson of Wimbledon as 50/1 to win Wimbledon by the year 2020.
“Move over Murray”, said a spokesman. “Laura Robson is the great new hope of British tennis. Her wins at Wimbledon have really captured the imagination and punters seem to love her”.
“We've been under siege from fans wanting to back her for future glory”.
