Dubai Bye Djokovic

Andy Murray became the first tennis player to beat world number one Novak Djokovic this year in the semi-finals of the Dubai Championships. The Brit triumphed 6-2 7-5 to partially avenge the five-set defeat to the Serbian at the Australian Open in January.

Bet365 and BetVictor reacted to the result by cutting Murray’s odds to win Wimbledon this year; the world number four is a best price of 13/2 with Betfred to triumph at the All-England Club this summer.

Before that, the world’s best will test themselves on clay at the French Open which begins at the end of May. Six-time champion at Roland Garros, Rafa Nadal is favourite for the next Grand Slam at 5/4 (Coral).

Djokovic is 13/8 (bodog) to win in Paris while Murray is still out at 16/1 (WilliamHill). Given how well the Scot has competed against the Serb recently, that looks like a huge discrepancy.
