Can Murray go on to claim the Australian Open title?
Andy Murray is top price 11/2 with BetVictor to win his first Grand Slam title following his straight sets victory over Edouard Roger-Vasselin in the second round of the Australian Open tennis. Murray needed only 23 minutes to take the opening set 6-1 and then followed this up by winning both the second and third set 6-4. The world number 4 now faces Frenchman Michael Llodra in the third round on Saturday, where he’s odds-on to progress. Can Murray go on to claim the Australian Open title?
Murray’s third round opponent, Michael Llodra shouldn’t cause the Scot too much concern and with Murray as short as 1/20 with William Hill, it demonstrates the challenge ahead of him. It’s 1/2 (Paddy Power) that Murray claims his second straight sets victory at the Australian Open when he takes on the Frenchman and 10/3 that he wins 3-1.
