Tim or Andy for Britain's Number 1?
Will Tim Do It The Hard Way...Again?Bookmakers William Hill make Tim Henman the 1/8 red hot favourite to win his second match and 8/13 to win in straight sets but having made such hot work of his first match Hills offer 12/1 that Tim will go two sets down again. Hills spokesman Rupert Adams said: "On paper Tim should cruise this one, he is a very short 1/8 favourite to win his second round match and it is even odds-on that he wins in straight sets. But Tim seems to enjoy putting his fans through the grinder so the 12/1 to lose the first two sets might well be a big price." 1/8 Tim Henman vs D Tursunov 9/2Tim 3-0, 8/13Tim 3-1, 10/3Tim 3-2, 13/2When Will Tim Make Way For Murray!Bookmakers William Hill have opened a book on when Andy Murray will take Tim Henman's crown and become British number 1. Hills make 2008 the 13/8 favourite but offer 33/1 that Murray makes it in 2005. Hills also offer 8/1 that Murray will win a grand slam tournament during or before 2010 and think Wimbledon is the most likely grand slam at 14/1. Andy Murray is now 100/1 to win Wimbledon this year."We are starting to take some good bets on Andy Murray and he is now 100/1 to win Wimbledon. The majority of bets are in the Scottish shops and I am sure that when they see the odds for him winning a grand slam they will start piling on." said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.2/7 R Stepanek vs A Murray 5/2Murray 3-0, 12/1Murray 3-1, 9/1Murray 3-2, 6/1When Will Murray Become British Number 1: 2005- 33/1, 2006- 9/1, 2007- 11/4, 2008- 13/8, 2009- 10/3, 2010- 9/1- Not to be- 8/1.Murray To Win A Grand Slam During Or Before 2010- 8/1; Wimbledon 14/1, French- 16/1, Australian- 20/1, US Open- 20/1.
