Victor Chandler have seemingly taken a real view on the chances of Robin Soderling in his match against Thiemo De Bakker as they are offering 2/7 when other firms are as low as 1/7. That looks too good to miss so whilst it lasts, it is worth taking. His opponent can be backed at 4/1 elswhere, giving an under-round book.
