As the US Open gets underway there seem to be a number of players in with a real shout of hitting the jackpot this year. As you might expect Rafael Nadal is the favourite at odds of around 6/4 but Roger Federer seems decent value at 3/1 and Novak Djokovic a good outside bet at 4/1, but what about Andy Murray the Scottish superstar – is this his time?
Andy Murray is the 4th favourite for the US Open and his odds of 11/1 on the likes of Betfair seem to place him well outside the top 3 but does he have a real chance? Has he started to turn the screw a little over the last few weeks?
While it has to be said that Murray was a disaster at the Olympics, where he admitted that he had not prepared as a professional should, maybe we are going to see a reaction in the US. He seems to be on his game at the moment, Olympics aside, and while some players have come and gone in the top ten he has remained fairly consistent over recent months.
The UK needs a winner of the US Open to put UK tennis back on the map – can Andy Murray fly the flag again?
