WIMBLEDON — Roger Federer’s seventh Wimbledon title turned into quite a bonanza for international aid agency Oxfam.
Because of a bet made in 2003, the charity won $157,750.
According to Oxfam, Nicholas Newlife bet that Federer would win seven Wimbledon titles before 2020. When Newlife died three years ago, he left his estate — including some outstanding bets — to the organization.
Oxfam says it already claimed $25,920 in 2009 when Federer won his 14th Grand Slam title at the French Open.
