Bookmakers Adding Andy Murray to Markets

Bookmakers have reacted to the news that Andy Murray has had successful surgery on his hip by adding the former world number one back into their Wimbledon outright market.

The three-time Grand Slam winner announced back in January that he was set to retire from the sport in 2019 with an appearance at his home Slam looking very unlikely. However, his chances of featuring have now increased.

Murray’s last competitive action on a tennis court was in the Australian Open back in January where he was beaten in five-sets by Roberto Bautista Agut. The 31-year-old was two sets down in that tie but showed fantastic character to level the match at 2-2. Sadly for Murray’s fans, he ran out of energy in the final set where the Spaniard was able to seal the match.

As everyone knows, summer means that it’s time for tennis and with only a few days left until the best tennis athletes are crowned champions of Wimbledon here is a quick Wimbledon Tennis betting update from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet club.

On the women’s side, Serena Williams is once again fulfilling her expectations as she is just one victory away from winning her 22^nd major tennis title.  In order to achieve this goal she will have to defeat Angelique Kerber from Germany who had already taken down Serena Williams earlier this year in the Australian Open.

Williams recently defeated Elena Vesnina 6-2, 6-0 while her older sister Venus failed to go any further after suffering a defeat to Kerber 6-4, 6-4 in Thursday's second semifinal.
