Andy Murray Preview – Can Murray make the third round?
Well, Andy Murray got across the line to reach the second round of Wimbledon 2021.
He was up against a tricky customer in Nikoloz Basilashvili in the opening round.
Murray had managed to pull out a 2-0 lead but then dropped the third.
He got the job completed comfortably enough in the fourth set, but that was still an extra set that he wouldn’t have wanted to have played.
There hasn’t been much competitive action from Murray this year because of injury problems.
He is W3 L3 in his last six matches now. Murray bowed out in the second round of Queen’s during his warm-up tournament for Wimbledon.
Still, this second-round match actually looks as if it could be a little more comfortable for Murray than his opener.
So it’s not a bad draw that he gets.
Murray is the 4/9 odds-on favourite for this match in Wimbledon tennis betting* (odds taken 23:32 GMT on June 29th).
For his first-round match against Basilashvili, Murray had been the underdog in the match outright.
The two-time Wimbledon champion will recognise the importance of getting this done quickly.
The fewer minutes he spends on the court, the greater his longevity is likely to be in a tournament.
An Andy Murray 3-0 set betting option for tennis betting is at a quote of 2/1* (odds taken 23:32 GMT on June 29th).
We do think that he can dig in there and scrap that out. This will be the first meeting between the two players.
Oscar Otte Preview – Can German cause an upset?
Oscar Otte probably isn’t a name that you have seen much off on the ATP Tour.
He is currently ranked 151st in the world and mostly knocks around on the ATP Challenger Tour.
The German was at this year’s French Open where he came through three rounds of qualification.
His campaign ended in the first round of the main draw against Alexander Zverev.
In the match outright for Wimbledon tennis betting on Wednesday, Otte is the current 17/10 underdog* (odds taken 23:32 GMT on June 29th)
Can he defy those odds?
Realistically that is a little hard to see.
That match against Zverev at Roland Garros is the only match that Otte has played in the main draw of an ATP Tour level or Grand Slam event this year.

Oscar Otte is in the main draw of Wimbledon for the first time in his career as well.
He had had three previous qualification attempts and failed on each of them before this year.
In the first round of this year’s action, he picked up a victory over France’s Arthur Rinderknecht.
That was a big battle as well, with the final set going to the maximum 12-12 before Otte won the tie break.
With that extra exertion needed out of him, that’s only likely to diminish his chances of sticking in there against Murray.
