Australian Open
Make money on Andy Murray in the Aussie Open tonight!
A brief tennis interlude and super special offer interrupts The Spoiler’s normal football programming…
Andy Murray was eliminated in the first round of last year’s Australian Open having raised expectations by winning the Qatar Open. Now he’s all muscly and that, a repeat is unlikely, but it’s worth noting that his opponent tonight Andrei Pavel [60 at Betfair] is rarely humiliated:
- With the exception of the French Open, Pavel hasn’t lost a first round match at a Grand Slam in straight sets since Wimbledon 1999.
- The previous meeting between the duo in the first round of the 2005 US Open went to five sets before Murray triumphed.
- Britain’s number one dropped sets in his first round matches at two of the four Grand Slams last year.
Murray triumphing in four sets is 7 while if you anticipate a real struggle he is 17 to win 3-2. The action starts at midnight tonight on British Eurosport and also live on Betfair. You can claim a free £10 bet when opening a Betfair account here.
