ATP World Tour Finals: Latest Betting

Andy Murray suffered an immediate setback at the World Tour Finals, losing his opening match to David Ferrer 6-4 7-5. He then declared that injury could force him out of further participation in the London event. The world number three has eased to a best price of 16/1 (Boylesports) to turn it all around and take the crown on Sunday. The Scot will decide on Tuesday whether his groin problem will force his withdrawal; he is scheduled to meet Tomas Berdych (18/1 Boylesports) on Wednesday.

In the other Group A clash Novak Djokovic survived a first set loss and a match point before winning 3-6 6-3 7-6 (7-3) against Berdych. The star of 2011 looked rusty at the outset, but ultimately went a long way to proving his fitness and desire are right where they need to be. The struggles of Murray have seen the Serb come into 11/4 (Sportingbet) in the tournament odds.

On Tuesday all eyes will be on the the evening clash between two of the game’s titans. Roger Federer is 4/9 (Coral) to win the Group B clash and 7/5 (Boylesports) in the overall betting. He faces a supposedly out-of-sorts Rafa Nadal, who hadn’t played a match since 13 October until he edged out Mardy Fish on Sunday. With the Spaniard also suffering from a stomach upset, he is unfancied to beat his old nemesis at 15/8 with PaddyPower. If he does triumph though, expect those title odds of 11/2 (Skybet) to rocket in swiftly.
