HoBNob Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Murray at 5s on Bet365, worth a few bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Murray at 5s on Bet365, worth a few bob. Bet365 have him at 4/1 now. You can get 6/1 at Boyle Sports and 9/2 with 888. If you have never bet with 888 you get treble the odds on your first bet (max bet a tenner), so you can get him at 27/2. Dan Evans resurgence has continued and he makes the main draw by being inside the top 100. Four men will definitely be in the draw Murray, Bedene, Edmund and Evans. Although Edmund retired yesterday from a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Being second seed is massive for Andy, as it means he cannot meet Novak until the final, and there's the chance both Nadal and Federer will be in the Serb's half. His resurgence on the red stuff fills me with confidence that he could also swat aside the big hitters like Wawrinka, Berdych and the likes also of Raonic. And his second serve is finally getting faster and more accurate. Might stick a tenner on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I'd probably take a French Open win for Andy over another Wimbledon this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I'm not sure. I just assumed as he wasn't in qualifying he made the main draw. Can't check up on my phone so will check later when I'm home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Federer deciding not to play. Think that means Nadal moves up to 4th seed meaning Murray now can't face him until the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-coo-shed Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Here it is in full: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_French_Open_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_Singles Djoko has a relatively easy draw apart from Nadal. Murray's draw is ok. Nishikori in QF was the worst draw possible, although Nishikori could face Kyrgios in 4th round...which could be interesting!

Nightmare Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Nadal's draw if all goes according to seeding would be Groth, Fognini, Thiem, Goffin, Tonsga, Djokovic, Murray, which is very tough. Funnily enough the draw that he would have had if Federer was still in and he was 5th seed, looks a whole lot easier. Murray's is alright; an absolute snooze for the first 4 rounds, tougher later section. I'd agree that Nishikori-Kyrgios is an important match - I think he'd far rather face Kyrgios, who has no idea how to play against someone with all the variety that Andy has in his game.

lichtie23 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yep, her run to the semis in Melbourne fired her miles up the rankings.That's fantastic. Haven't been really paying attention to the woman's game lately. How has her clay court season been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 That's fantastic. Haven't been really paying attention to the woman's game lately. How has her clay court season been? She's not setting the heather on fire so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
