Two former ATP Vienna champions – Andy Murray and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga – will face each other this Sunday with the title at stake. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green-listed bookmakers.
Murray vs. Tsonga
Andy Murray continues his quest for the world no.1 place on the ATP World Tour ranking. With 92.73% winning record over his last 55 matches, Murray is now just 2000 points away from Novak Djokovic. Looking now to Andy’s campaign in Vienna so far, Murray reaches this final after David Ferrer’s withdrawal due to injury. In the previous round, Murray featured his best match of the week with a 6 – 1 6 – 3 triumph against John Isner.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga reaches this final after an epic battle against Ivo Karlovic. In a match between two remarkable servers, Tsonga recovered from a set and a break up, emerging victorious by 5 – 7 7 – 5 7 – 6 after saving also one match point. Despite his victory, Tsonga was far from impressive, especially on serve, with the French allowing Karlovic to break his serve three times throughout the match.
This will be the 16th career meeting between these two players with Murray leading on the h2h by 13 – 2.
These two players know each other well and as the h2h shows, Murray holds the edge between the two. With this in mind and due to their recent performances, Murray is the unquestionable favourite for this match at 1/5 at William Hill while Pinnacle offers 457/100 for Tsonga’s victory. Due to the low value on Murray’s moneyline, we advise you to take his -1.5 set handicap at 59/100 at Pinnacle.
