It probably goes without saying that the bookmakers see the Men's Singles Tournament as a bit of a dogfight betwene the current ranked #1 and #2 global players. Both Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray are the only men listed at relatively plausible prices (i.e. Ones that don't verge into double digits) to capture the title at the end of the tournament itself.

Djokovic's odds have actually drifted slightly in the opening phase of the tournament and punters will now find him trading as high as 9/5 on the exchanges with most major bookmakers placing him anywhere from a 5/4 margin all the way up to a 7/4 listing.

There are more than a few popular books that have Djokovic and Murray both available at the exact same price and, in instances where this is happening, the price tends to be around a 6/4 each-way toss-up.

Look for Murray priced as high as a 9/5 margin as well so this one really looks to be a straight up dogfight between the two talented players. The style of play at Arther Ashe makes this one even more suited to the two top selections.
