Andy Murray v Andrey Kuznetsov French Open tennis betting odds

Murray to secure first round win

Tennis Betting

It’s not been a particularly strong season from Andy Murray after claiming the world number one spot last year from Novak Djokovic. Murray has only gone 16-7 in his win/loss record for the season and the French Open isn’t exactly his favourite Grand Slam. Murray got to the final of the tournament for the first time in his career last year, and despite winning the first set against Novak Djokovic, he could not hang in there and lost in four sets.

Murray has been struggling this term and a lot of it has been down to illness, with an elbow injury, shingles and the flu all thrown in there this year. So he is struggling for form at the moment and he is a big 16/1 shot at bet365 to win the French Open outright this year. On the other hand, there won’t be a lot of pressure riding on his shoulders because of his form and he could get his season going with a good run at Roland Garros.

Murray takes on Russian Andrey Kuznetsov in the first round and it should be a fairly routine opener for Murray. He has a 20-0 career head to head record against the Russian, but Kuznetsov did get to the semi-finals of Geneva last week. Murray is the heavy odds-on favourite at Bet365 for this one though, but with his recent struggles, it may be worth backing 4 Sets in the Total Sets market at Bet365 for a price of 15/8 as it may take Murray a little while to find his feet in the tournament.
