Ferrer v Tsonga

Have needed to have a bet on Tsonga to win tomorrow. The ew ante-post bets I placed on Ferrer/Federer were designed to produce a no loss situation in their semi, however Fed's loss to Tsonga has scuppered that. We are left with Ferrer and four points @ 14/1 to reach the final. So a potential return of 60 points. The stakes on Fed (5) and Ferrer (8) I have potentially protected by having:

10pts Tsonga to beat Ferrer @ 2.32 Betfair Exchange.

After commission this price is around 2.25 or 5/4. So should Tsonga win the match the above bet wins 12.5pts - more or less the stakes invested on Fed/Ferrer each-way. 

If Ferrer wins tomorrow's match then the return on these three bets is a net 37 points profit (plus a remote chance of winning the final and a much larger return). 

We could really do with Ferrer winning tomorrow as the women's event was very poor for us. Obviously I would not recommend you backing Tsonga in tomorrow's match unless you have backed Ferrer each-way @ 28/1 or 33/1 as advised before the start of the tournament on 22 May.
