Murray to Beat Nadal at Wimbledon? Best odds revealed


Murray certainly had a great day on Monday, with probably the best come back of the tournament. It was certainly an edge of the seat game, which couldn’t help inspire the support of the nation, along with the 15000 spectators at Centre Court Wimbledon. It takes a certain kind of person to put up a fight after falling two sets behind, but that is what Murray managed to do, to claw back the next two sets.

Light was fading, and amid protests from Gasquet, play continued to conclusion, which saw the Frenchman apparently run out of steam, and give way to Murray’s superior stamina which cost Gasquet the game. The final result for the game seemed inevitable from the fourth set, but Gasquet still managed to pull a few points to leave us with some uncertainty. Murray came through in the end 5-7 3-6 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 6-4.

This fantastic performance has had an impact at the way the bookmakers have judge Andy’s chances of winning the title. Before the Gasquet game, odds of 20/1 were available for Murray winning Wimbledon Men’s Singles, the odds now have been slashed to as little as 11/1 (with Victor Chandler) however if you’re looking to back Andy Murray, the best odds available for you are 14/1 from a number of bookies including Blue Square, Ladbrokes and Paddy Power.

The big question on the nations lips is can Andy Murray manage to defeat Rafael Nadal? We will find that out later today has they take to Centre Court, hopefully te rain will stay clear and will not disturb what is going to be an awesome match.

The bookmakers are all favouring Nadal as the winner of this match, who can blame them? This is the first Quarter Final match Murray will have played, his performance on Monday, although finished well, if he gives away the points in the first sets, Nadal will not be as forgiving, and Andy will definitely have problems. Nadal has made it to the final of Wimbledon twice before, so is used to the pressures that a game of this calibre can place on the players.

That said, Murray did show a streak of defiance, and the skill was phenomenal. Nadal has his knee injuries to be wary of, and there’s no way of judging the effect of the home crowd on Nadal’s performance.

The bookies estimate that Murray only has a 20.2% chance of winning this match which explains the odds on offer. The best odds for Andy Murray to win is 4/1 from Sporting Bet, whereas if you favour Nadal, the best odds are 2/9 from William Hill, at the time of writing.
