TENNIS
Hopefully readers of the odds ON section will have taken my confident prediction at the end of December that Andy Murray would kick-start his Grand Slam winning career in the Australian Open.
Andy has played with great confidence throughout the tournament (shown by his win in the tie-break to level with Ferrer in the semi-final) and he is ideally suited to this event.
Following this excellent win over an opponent who fought to the end, Murray will be confident but not complacent going into Sunday’s final. Remember that the time difference means that Australia is around 12 hours ahead so get up early on Sunday morning and cheer him on.
