Live on Eurosport: Fri 08.30: Andy Murray is 2/7 (Boylesports) to beat David Ferrer and progress to the final of the Australian Open.
Murray is one match away from repeating last year’s appearance in the final at this tournament and 8/5 with Totesport to go one better and win his 1st major.
David Ferrer, 10/3 at bet365, wil be far from a pushover though. Ferrer may have come up against an injured Nadal but has performed admirably throughout the tournament and generally goes about his business quietly.
Murray has been a touch fortunate in avoiding del Potro, Soderling and now Nadal and there is a case to say that he may have one eye on the final against Novak Djokovic instead of fully on his dangerous opponent.
A comfortable 3-1 win for Murray is 13/5 at Sportingbet while a tenser 3-2 win is 13/2 (Betfred) and Sportingbet offer 8/5 about Ferrer with a 1.5 set headstart, which is eye-catching.
Ferrer has come right in from leftfield though and has a brilliant chance to make his first major final. A 3-2 win for the Spaniard is a large 12/1 at Stan James.
