Betting Odds Are Set For An All-Federer Mixed Doubles Final At Wimbledon

When Roger Federer's wife, Mirka, gave birth to twin girls five years ago, oddsmakers set the odds of an all-Federer doubles team making the finals at Wimbledon at 100 to 1. It seems within the realm of possibility -- Serena and Venus Williams have won five Wimbledon doubles titles.

And now that Mirka has given birth to another pair of twins, this time boys, the bookies are at it again. And these odds are a little bit longer.

Darren Rovell of ESPN writes that the popular European betting outfit Ladbrokes is setting the odds at 10,000 to 1 for an all-Federer mixed doubles final at Wimbledon. That would require Leo and Lenny to each team up with an older sister for a magical run.
