Murray Close to Surprise Win

David Nalbandian achieved a remarkable comeback to deny not only the British fans but also the short-priced backers of Andrew Murray.The Scot had a dream start when winning the first two sets against David Nalbandian who was the hot 4-11 favourite for this match. Murray was a general 13-5 chance before the match. But when two sets up punters on Betfair thought Murray was cruising to a surprise victory and were backing him at as low as 1-5. Nalbandian was matched at a high of 5-1.However, Murray's lack of match fitness became apparent and Nalbandian took the third set 6-0. The players broke each other in the fourth and the topsy-turvy nature of the set was reflected in the betting with punters unable to pick the favourite. But Nalbandian's experience won through and he took the decider to seal victory.Nalbandian is now a 43-1 chance to win the men's title at Wimbledon, but for the punters who backed Murray at odds as big as 999-1 at Betfair, their dream is over.
