John Isner and Andy Murray with a fight this Sunday for the BNP Paribas Masters title. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Isner vs. Murray
After an extraordinary performance in the semi-finals against Marin Cilic, John Isner booked a place in the final of a Masters 1000 event for the third time in his career. Known for his outstanding serve, Isner ended the match with impressive numbers – 80.43% first serve in and an average of 2.00 aces per service game. John was extremely pleased for his performance, saying that it was without any doubts his best match in 2016.
For the first time in his career, Andy Murray enters the court this Sunday as the world no.1. After Milos Raonic’s withdrawal this Saturday due to injury, Murray overcame Novak Djokovic in the ATP World Tour ranking. Besides this historical achievement, Murray can also win the BNP Paribas Open title for the first time. This is only one of three Masters 1000 events left on Andy’s record – along with Indian Wells and Monte Carlo.
Famous for his remarkable return to serve, Murray is always a nightmare to all big servers with a terrific 8 – 0 lead on the h2h against Isner. However, John is playing at a superb level and it won’t be easy for the British to break him. With this in mind, the value is clearly on Isner’s odds at 5/1 at Bet365 while Murray is available at 17/100 at William Hill. John’s +4.0 Game Handicap at 17/20 at Pinnacle is definitely the best approach for this final and we advise you to take this bet.
