Lu vs Andy Murray Prediction & Betting Tips - Wimbledon

Andy Murray has been a little bit overshadowed this week as far as British success has gone. It's been the unknown Marcus Willis that has hit the headlines but we all know it's Murray who has the talent to win a second Wimbledon title. So far this year he has been runner-up to Novak Djokovic in both the Grand Slams and chances are another final between the top two male players in the game will happen here at Wimbledon. His first round saw a straightforward win over fellow Brit Liam Broady but now he faces a much harder but extremely winnable match against Yen-Hsun Lu who is ranked 76 in the world. The Chinese player doesn't get much luck with draws. You might remember he had to play Novak Djokovic in the first round in France a few weeks ago. This is also the third time he's had to face Murray on grass losing at Queens last year and in 2013 at Wimbledon, both games going to Murray in straight sets. He has beaten Murray before though, way back in their first ever meeting at the 2008 Olympics. He's also fresh from a tournament win having taken the Ilkley Challenger tournament. He plays most of his tennis on that lower stage so this is another big step up that he's going to be unable to take. A straight sets win for Murray is on the cards here.
