A new year and the start of the top ATP Tour action is underway and Novak Djokovic is out to make get the new calendar year underway with a bang. He had his struggles towards the back end of last season, losing his number one spot to Andy Murray. This tournament is a regular start of the big guns in the new calendar year and this is one of just two ATP World Tour events which are held in the Middle east across the season.
Joining Djokovic in Doha is Andy Murray so there is a big showdown coming between Murray, who won the tournament twice before in back to back years in 2008 and 2009 and Novak Djokovic who is the current reigning champion. This is actually the first time that the top two players in the world have attended Doha since back in 2011 when then world number one Rafael Nadal and number two Roger Federer were in the mix (Federer winning).
It’s not worth looking outside of the big players in the for ATP Doha 2017 Tennis Betting because a top ten player has been crowned the champion in each of the last eight eight year and in all but one of the last twelve editions of the tournament. Murray was the man in form at the back end of last season and he takes a 24 match winning streak into the event with him, winning five titles on the track to close out 2016.
So will he be able to keep up his winning momentum? This is the first time he has been back to Doha since 2014 when he made a second round exit, his earliest exit from his four previous appearances. Murray and Djokovic are 6/4 joint favourites in the field and they are kept apart in the draw so you would only see them square off in the final itself. Frankly the rest of the field is pretty weak and no-one comes in under double figures to claim the title.

ATP Doha 2017 Tennis Betting Predictions
Murray was the man on top but the winter break should see Djokovic come back refreshed and revitalised. He has something extra to prove now as he will want to reclaim his form and his world number one spot as well and that will make him very dangerous for this one. Even though Murray is the one running in that hot stopped by the break could put a damper on this opening tournament for him. Djokovic to take the title.
