Andy Murray v Nicolas Almagro Olympic Tennis betting is action in the last eight of the men’s tournament. Britain’s number one player had to come from a set down against Marcos Baghdatis to book his place in the quarter finals and now just two victories just stand between him and an Olympic Medal. It was Murray who doing all of the running around on the defence in the first set against the Cypriot, but the Brit turned things around in the middle of the second set and never looked back. It had been a rematch of their coming together at Wimbledon recently, when Murray had to really dig deep to beat his big opponent. There were nerves on Murray’s part, but when the match finally took a turn in his favour, Murray was able to press home his advantage.
So Andy Murray v Nicolas Almagro betting is up next, and Murray faces the Spaniard having met just three times previously on the ATP Tour. Murray does hold the head to head against the Spaniard, ranked 12th in the world, 2-1. The last time they met was back in 2010 at the ATP Tour Indian Wells and after losing the first set, Almagro had retired through injury. This will be another tricky opponent for Murray as Almagro has picked up two titles this season to Murray’s one, and the Spaniards has a 46/15 match record compared to Murray’s 32/10 for the season. Almagro has had easy passage so far, and the winner of this match will face either world number one Novak Djokovic or France’s Jo Wilfried-Tsonga in the semi final.
