The Erste Bank Open 500 quarter-finals take place this Friday in Vienna. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Murray vs. Isner
Looking now to the matches scheduled for this Friday in Vienna, the highlight clearly goes to the contest between Andy Murray and John Isner.
Even though Murray is the undeniable favourite to lift the trophy in Vienna, things haven’t been easy for the world no.2 this week. After playing a three-set contest against Martin Klizan on his debut, Andy also dropped the first set on his following match against Gilles Simon. Both players struggled to perform at their best with Murray ending the match with awful numbers – 18 winners and 58 unforced errors.
Known as one of the biggest servers in the history of the game, Isner is always a fearful opponent. The fast game conditions in Vienna clearly suit John’s powerful serve with the American winning 96.90% of his service games and firing an average of 1.53 aces per service game.
This will be the 8th career meeting between these two players with Murray winning all their previous seven encounters.
Despite Andy’s lead on the h2h, Isner is never an easy opponent, especially on these fast game conditions. Looking now to the bookmakers’ analysis, Murray is the heavy favourite for this contest at 17/100 at William Hill while Isner is available at 25/4 at Pinnacle. Although we agree with Andy’s favouritism, this should be a much closer contest, which makes the Over 21.5 at 73/100 at Pinnacle the best approach for this match.
