Our pick: Murray A. – Machac T.: Machac T./-40,5 gems

02.07.2024 17:45

The Centre Court will also see a third match with a Czech footprint on Tuesday. After Marketa Vondroušová and Vít Kopřiv, Tomáš Macháč will take to the court to face Andy Murray. Macháč managed to beat him in both his matches in Marseille and Miami this year. Although this is Murray’s home Grand Slam, Machac is the clear favourite this time around.

Although Machac’s only tournament this year on grass in Halle, Germany, where he lost twice 4:6 to Arthur Fils of France, he has been showing great progress this year. He has a number of interesting scalps to his credit, including the final in Geneva, and is currently 39th in the world rankings. His milestones also include the quarter-finals of the Masters in Miami or the third round of Roland Garros and the Australian Open.

Murray would normally be the favourite on grass, but these circumstances are far from normal. Murray underwent surgery to remove a cyst on his spine after the tournament at Queen’s in London less than two weeks ago. Although it was not a major procedure, for a professional athlete such an operation would mean some time off the courts. Murray, however, is retiring this year and wants to play at Wimbledon. So although he cannot be expected to record any glowing result, he is doing everything he can to make a start at the All England Club.

What to bet on:

Although Murray is trying to prepare and he feels good in training, he is definitely not 100 percent. Machac will take advantage of that and beat Murray. Quite interesting odds are then combined with games, for example that he will play less than 40 games.

Confidence:

8/10
