Alexander Zverev vs Andy Murray Prediction & Betting Tips - Open d'Australie

Andy Murray has a great record in the Australian Open having made the final four times in the last six years. He's yet to win the title though and off the court activities might stop him winning this year. His wife is close to giving birth and Murray will head home if the birth looks imminent. That's something to consider if you're backing him to win this tournament but there should be few problems in the First Round, next week might be different though. Murray last lost in the First Round of a Grand Slam since 2006 and I don't expect it to happen again this year. He takes on Alexander Zverev who's ranked 83rd in the world and lost to Murray in the recent Hopman Cup tournament in Australia.  His recent form hasn't been great and he lost in the First Qualifying Round of this tournament last year.  His best run last year was the Quarter Final of the Citi Open where he beat Kevin Anderson before losing to Martin Cilic. Murray looked sharp in the Hopman Cup and can win here in straight sets before popping back to see how his wife is getting on.
