Andy Murray is my Wimbledon bet of the day. A phrase that sends the bookmakers jumping for joy. But he is closer to Nadal than the odds would suggest and he doesn't have to up his game too much to win today.
An extra bonus for Murray backers is Nadal's injury. He had an MRI before his quarter v Fish, and although that showed no signs of damage, he needed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to get through the match. The impact of playing through an injury will have to have taken it's toll and the injury is likely to be worse after a day of rest.
Nadal's game is based around power and making his opponent have to play an extra shot on every rally but if he is less mobile today Murray's job will be far easier.
5 pts Murray @ 7/4 with Hills
