ANDY MURRAY VS RAFAEL NADAL 2010 AUSTRALIAN OPEN BETTING TIPS

It certainly says something about the form that Andy Murray is in at the moment when the bookies make him the odds-on favourite to beat defending champion Rafa Nadal in tomorrow’s action at the 2010 Australian Open.
Murray is trading at 4/5 while Nadal is priced at just over evens with a 21/20 price tag. I know that isn’t much between the two of them, but Nadal has been playing well and is considered to be the slim underdog. Andy Murray is yet to drop a single set at this year’s edition of the tournament and, should he continue on this run against Nadal, you’re looking at a 4/1 payout for a straight sets victory. Murray is favoured to win 3-1 at 7/2 while a 3-2 Murray win pays out at a solid 9/2 listing. Rafael Nadal can be backed to win in straight sets at 5/1 (not happening) while 3-1 Nadal is his favoured outcome at 4/1. Nadal to win a 3-2 thriller pays 9/2.
The total match games market at William Hill is 40/5 and there’s a 5/6 price on the over/under each-way. If you’re not sure who wins, but you know how many sets there will be, try the number of sets in match market where you’ll find 3 at 2/1, 4 sets at 11/8 and 5 sets at 7/4.
There’s a few dozen different markets at William Hill and you can bet set scorecasts and set correct scores, as well as take advantage of some of the other markets that include first electronic challenge (both players at 5/6) and Lose First Set and Win the Match which pays 4/1 each-way. Rafael Nadal is favoured to get the first double fault at 8/11. You can also back a first or second set tiebreak at 13/5.
Andy Murray pays 5/1 to not win a set, while Rafael Nadal pays 4/1 to not win a set. You can also take advantage of markets like total service breaks, 1st set score at 6 games and a myriad of other exciting options.
This is a tough one to predict, but I’m favouring Murray to take a shot at this one and make a statement. He’s still hunting for that elusive first major championship and if he can beat Nadal here, he’ll be well-priced to win the competition!
