I wouldn't say that he was the underdog against Federer in 2005. Prior to RG, he won Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome.Yeah, probably underdog in 2005 against Fed in the semifinal. But even then he wasn't at @3,25+ odds. More like @2,20 probably.
Nah, I remember Fed being the 1st favourite for the title prior to the tournament, he won the last Masters Series in Hamburg just before the FO (Nadal didn't play) and he was already the dominant #1, Nadal was still a question mark if he can prolong his form to his 1st GS title (but he was the 2nd favorite right after Fed).I wouldn't say that he was the underdog against Federer in 2005. Prior to RG, he won Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome.
Well, the question was simply bookie's underdog. And Fed was bookie favourite, misguided or not, with @1,7 to @2,33.I wouldn't say that he was the underdog against Federer in 2005. Prior to RG, he won Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome.
Yep. Djokovic opened at 2.08 at Pinnacle, closed at 2.28.When was the last time Djokovic was a bookie underdog on any surface? FO 14 I'm guessing, but I don't remember those odds.
