Bookmakers are predicting that Andy Murray will be the best backed Briton in the history of Wimbledon betting by the time he strikes his first ball on the grass courts.

Murray begins his bid to become the first home grown winner of the Men's Singles title since Fred Perry in 1936 on Tuesday.

Ladbrokes are estimating that a victory forAndy Murray could trigger a £3 million payout for the betting industry.

Spokesman Robin Hutchison said: "Move over Henmania - it's Andymonium out there!"

"Whilst punters travelled in hope with Tim, they travel in expectation with Andy. And the expectation is that it will cost us a fortune."

Andy Murray's latest Wimbledon odds are 7/4 from Ladbrokes to win Wimbledon, just behind Roger Federer who has been installed at 8/11.

Andy Murray is the 1/100 favourite to see off first round opponent world number 76 Robert Kendrick and 1/6 to do so in straight sets, odds again from Ladbrokes.
