Every week, we bring you the 1.01 gubbings on Betfair, as players and teams complete Lazarus-style comebacks or simply take advantage of chokes of monstrous proportions as their opponents struggle to cross the finishing line.

Murray takes advantage of ‘Le Choke'

Andy Murray came back from the brink of defeat against Frenchman Richard Gasquet at Wimbledon. Having dominated Murray for the first two sets, Gasquet served for the match at *5-4 up in the third set, but the Wimbledon crowd got inside his head and he choked under the pressure, gifting Murray the break back with a painfully tight double fault.

Murray's bizarre fetish for the drop-shot had reared its ugly head during the first two sets, and Gasquet was in such sublime form that a comeback seemed hardly plausible. Even losing the third set tie-break seemed to be delaying the inevitable, but buoyed by a Centre Court crowd sensing blood, Murray went in for the kill and completed a remarkable 5-7, 3-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2. 6-4 victory in the London darkness.

Calypso Collapso

West Indies collapsed needing just 12 runs off 17 balls with six wickets in hand during the fourth ODI at St Kitts. Chasing 283, they were bolstered by a 137 run partnership between Chris Gayle (93 off 92) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (63 off 79). West Indies were cruising towards victory with the ever-reliable Shivnarine Chanderpaul (53 off 71) and the flamboyant Dwayne Bravo (31 off 32) at the crease.

Even when Bravo was needlessly bowled by James Hopes, the situation was perfect for debutant Shawn Findlay to rotate the strike and let Chanderpaul finish things off for an easy win. However, with 12 runs required from 17 deliveries, Findlay skewed a drive off Brett Lee to midwicket, where Mike Hussey pulled off a miraculous one-handed catch at full stretch. From this moment onwards, Australia believed they were in the hunt, but in reality , the match was still at West Indies' mercy with Chanderpaul at the crease. Inexplicably, the dot balls began to build up and Chanderpaul found himself playing a bizarre sweep-shot off Nathan Bracken and was clean bowled.

Denesh Ramdin and Darren Sammy were faced with the task of getting eight runs off the last over, for which they were still heavy odds-on favourites. However, Shane Watson kept his cool, bowling wicket-to-wicket and the Australian fielding restricted the batsmen to a single off every ball in the over, with Australia winning by just one run.

1.01 in Serious Danger

This week's award goes to long-time 1.01 fan Elena Dementieva. After being gubbed by compatriot Dinara Safina in almost identical circumstances at Roland Garros, Dementieva had the semi-finals in her sights after racing into a 6-1, 5-1 lead against fellow Russian Nadia Petrova at Wimbledon. Petrova fought back admirably as Dementieva got the jitters, literally trembling on serve and looking petrified of serving double faults at every opportunity.

After losing the second set on a tie-break and with well over £1 million traded on Betfair at sub 1.1 on Dementieva, the blonde Russian was inking herself into the record books for yet another 1.01 gubbing, but she recovered well to take the third set and win 6-1, 6-7 (6-8), 6-3.
