That first round match was an epic but it may have grooved Andy's game

"Murray has talked of the need for a shorter game than his opening five-set marathon against Richard Gasquet, and is hoping to despatch Chela with minimum fuss. Given his fine past record against the 30-year-old the [1.76] on a straight sets win is a tempter."

The Brit is looking for a smooth passage to the third round against a familiar opponent. Joe Dyer thinks he can do it

Andy Murray continues his French Open adventure today with a match-up against an old adversary - Argentinean journeyman Juan Ignacio Chela.

The Brit has won their last five meetings, including a second round straight sets victory at the Madrid Masters earlier this month, so it's not surprising that the layers are taking no chances on a shock defeat today with Murray just [1.12] to advance past this familiar opponent once more. But odds of that size are strictly for the meekest of bettors looking for the safest of safe havens or the heavy hitters betting thousands to win hundreds. Let's look for a few bets at bigger odds to carry our money...

Murray has talked of the need for a shorter game than his opening five-set marathon against Richard Gasquet, and is hoping to despatch Chela with minimum fuss. Given his fine past record against the 30-year-old the [1.76] on a straight sets win is a tempter. Neither player comes into the tournament in great form but the world no.4's greater class could see him though.

Though Gasquet was struggling with injury towards the end of that first round epic, it looked as though Murray had found his rhythm and range. Should he come out of the blocks in similar mood this lunchtime, a punt on under 31.5 games can reward at anything above even money.

In keeping with the prediction of a relatively easy second round match, a split stakes bet on Murray winning the first set 6-3 or 6-4 is recommended. The bet pays out at around [2.5],
