Roger Federer’s daughters may be less than 48 hours old, but that didn’t stop bookmakers on Friday from posting betting odds on the twins winning Wimbledon.
British brokers Ladbrokes are now offering 100-1 odds on either Charlene Riva or Myla Rose to win Wimbledon just one day after Federer’s wife Mirka, gave birth.
The twins, whose Swiss father has won a record 15 grand slam titles, were also 25-1 to claim one of the four slams with all bets based on either doing so before their 25th birthdays.
The newborn girls are 50-1 to win a grand slam as part of the same doubles team and they’re also 200-1 to win the Wimbledon doubles crown.
“The twins certainly come from good tennis stock. If they are half as good as their dad they will still be a potent force on the court,” said Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg.
American Andy Roddick, who the 27-year-old Federer beat in last month’s Wimbledon final to claim his 15th grand slam, sent a message from his Twitter page about the twins.
It read: “Wimbledon women’s champs in 2029-2040 …. the Federer girls: congrats to the new parents!”
I guess there really is a lot of “love” in the Federer household.
