Wimbledon Bets, Day Nine: Murray may not beat Nadal but he could make him work

Wimbledon Betting / Ben Caudell / 02 July 2008 / Leave a Comment

Ben Caudell has picked out two bets for the main event on Centre Court

I thought yesterday's handicap bet of +5.5 on Agnieszka Radwanska was a dead cert seeing as her younger sister won eight games against Serena Williams. Unfortunately, I was wrong and Serena blasted her way into the semi-finals with a 6-4 6-0 win.

Today I'm putting on my Union Jack undies to become 'Patriotic Ben' by backing the ultra-confident Andy Murray in his quest to beat the Spanish Hercules Rafael Nadal.

Andy Murray v Rafael Nadal: Murray has never beaten Nadal, however at last year's Australian Open he managed to take the Spaniard to five sets in a momentous battle. With the crowd rooting for the Brit and Murray believing he can go all the way, this match won't be as easy as their last two - which Nadal won comfortably in straight sets. The Spaniard jarred his knee in the last round and this could have a bearing on his movement around the court.

Selection: Lay Nadal 3-0 @ [2.18]; Back over 38.5 games @ [2.2].
