Murray will have to be at his best this afternoon against the current Queens champion

"Andy Murray is probably one of the worst players to come up against after you’ve laboured through a long five set match; the Scot is incredible in defence, runs everything down thanks to his super stamina and is proving mighty hard to break."

Andy Murray looks in good shape right now but he'll face his toughest test so far when he comes up against Queens champion Sam Querrey. The Brit should progress but it could be mighty tight, says Ben Caudell.

Sam Querrey (USA) v Andy Murray (GBR)

Andy Murray has a great chance of reaching the quarter finals here today when he takes on Sam Querrey of the USA for the fifth time in his illustrious career.

This match is far from being a formality for the hopeful Brit though, who is adamant that he has what it takes to be crowned Wimbledon Champion. The jury is most definitely still out.

Murray, who beat Gilles Simon in straight sets in the previous round, is yet to drop a set all tournament and is looking increasingly impressive each match.

The Brit has four wins to his name over Sam Querrey (including one exhibition event) and better still, Murray has won all four matches in straight sets, including a win on grass at the Newport Open back in 2006. He is also 8-2 on the green stuff.

Sam Querrey has struggled to find the form that crowned him Queens Champion in the lead up to Wimbledon and he looked slightly apprehensive and nervous when he stepped out against Xavier Malisse in the last round.

That said, Sam Querrey poses a serious threat to anyone with the explosive power he generates with his serve and has won eight in a row on grass.

There's good news for those thinking of opposing SQ though, he has lost four of the last five when his opponent is a top 10 player, or is priced as moderate underdog.

Andy Murray is probably one of the worst players to come up against after you've laboured through a long five set match; the Scot is incredible in defence, runs everything down thanks to his super stamina and is proving mighty hard to break.

I can see Murray winning this match, but each and every set is likely to be extremely tight. I suggest the best value bet is to back the tie break market and "overs" on the total games.

Selection:

Back the Tie break @ 1.55
Back Querrey +5.5 Games @1.9
Back over 37.5 Games @1.75
