Scot star's hot form takes him to favouritism for year's first grand slam.
Andy Murray stands as joint [3.9] favourite with Roger Federer for the Australian Open following the Scot's victory at the Qatar Open on Saturday.
Murray defeated Andy Roddick 6-4 6-2 to lift his second trophy of the season, and has two defeats of Federer under his belt in 2009.
Having been matched at a high of [15.0] Murray has shortened relentlessly to his current low price for the tournament which starts on January 19.
Rafael Nadal is a couple of ticks back from the leading pair at [5.7] with Novak Djokovic the only other player in single figures at [8.2].
