Murray leads 2-0 against Norrie in the head-to-head encounters. He will be favoured in the upcoming match. Norrie was unimpressive in the first round against Rune, so we’re sure that Murray will have a chance to claw his way to victory in the upcoming match.
Both head-to-head encounters between the two men have been tightly fought, so we expect this encounter to follow a similar scenario.
Murray had a tough match against Stan Wawrinka (7-6, 5-7, 7-5) in the first round. It must be said that the legends did not disappoint. The game really turned out to be fiery.
Andy took Stan down in the third set. It looks like after this show that lasted for less than three hours, Murray will have a hard time recovering for the next game.
That said, it is important to note that Murray showed quality tennis. The former world #1 won 80% of points on the first serve, including 10 aces and only two double faults.
In Montreal last week, Murray played much worse, losing straight away to Taylor Fritz (1-6, 3-6).
Murray has won 7 of his last 10 matches against left-handers.
Norrie, meanwhile, started the tournament with a victory over Holger Rune (7-5, 4-6, 6-4. In his case, the first match was also a serious test of his strength.
Holger only lost his nerve at the end of the third set. Cameron must have known that the encounter with the talented Rune could take place in such a challenging scenario.
At the Masters in Montreal, Norrie quietly made it through the first two rounds before losing to Felix Auger Aliassime (3-6, 4-6).
In early August, Norrie reached the final in Los Cabos. In the decisive match, he lost to Daniil Medvedev (5-7, 0-6).
Norrie has won his last 5 matches against the compatriots.
In 3 of Norrie’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.70.
Murray has played two tie-breaks in his last five matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 2.25.
