William Hill are offering 500/1 for the child to win Wimbledon and 250/1 for it to win any grand slam.

Might be worth a pound.

That'll keep him busy!

You hear about these types of bets being placed from time to time.

Not sure if I would remember where I had placed my betting slip after 20+ years!

I also think the odds should be bigger than that to be honest.

I also think the odds should be bigger than that to be honest.

I'm not sure they should be. Consider the amount of people that will really have the opportinity to develop into a top tennis player. A boy who's father is a millionaire tennis champion stands a pretty good chance of making it.

I think one of the most famous was Chris Kirklands dad. He put a bet on his son would win an England cap, when he was about 13 iirc, before he was 30 and netted £10 000 with 5 years to spare. Odds were 100/1.

Rory McIlroys dad bet on him winning a major about 10 years before he did as well.

There was also the guy who bet on Federer to win 7 Wimbledon titles before 2019 way back in 2003. He died before the bet came in so Oxfam got paid out to the tune of £10000.

None of those are quite the same as betting on an unborn baby to win Wimbledon right enough. Anyway congratulations to Andy and his wife, great news for them.

What if it's a girl?

I'm hoping he gets to the semi final of the US Open in New York as I have two court side tickets. Might take a Hibs scarf with me and shout Hibees at break points.

Andy's taking Novak to the cleaners at the moment in Montreal. We shall see.

I think I spoke too soon!

I think I spoke too soon!

It's just one or two key moments that are the difference between being the best and being next best.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

First set to Murray 6-4, Novak a break up in set 2.

[heretoday]

Stunning return by Andy to draw 3-3.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Murray breaks back 3-3

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

1 set each.

[Sir David Gray]

Big game to win there.

He holds in the first game of the final set.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Murray goes a break up.

[Pretty Boy]

Some.great tennis being played by Murray tonight, hope he sees it out now.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Fantastic final, fingers crossed that Murray can hold to go up 4-1.

[Sir David Gray]

This has been some match.

Almost three hours for about two and a half sets!

Murray's been very good tonight.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

What an epic game that was, 4-1 Murray.

[Sir David Gray]

4-1 Murray after 10 deuces! :thumbsup:

[Baw187]

Nobody comes close to being as good as Murray with lob shots, brilliant.

[Pretty Boy]

Brilliant stuff there.

Really hoping Murray can step it up again and really push Djokovic at the US and Australian opens in the coming months.

[Sir David Gray]

Djokovic saves three match points but Murray will now serve for the match.

[GreenLake]

Cracking shot there

[Sir David Gray]

Game, set and match Murray 6-4 4-6 6-3.

Terrific entertainment, well played Andy. :aok:

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Great win for Murray there!
