My head says Djokovic, my heart wants Murray. Was hoping to get +200ish on Murray, really surprised to see this line so low. :think2:
No doubt the crowd will be behind Murray. I guess that, plus the fact Djokovic just played 5 tough sets, resulted in a line this low.
Djokovic doesn't dominate H2H with an 11-7 record, but has won the last 3 meetings. They've never met on grass.
What's the play here?

I agree with you - Murray would be a nicer play with a better line. I'm only a casual tennis watcher, but Djokovic just hasn't appeared that dominant recently. Add to that Murray seems to have really stepped up his confidence/aggression on the big points, and I guess the line is probably where it should be.

I dunno, Del Potro has always played Djokovic tough, aside from that match he hadn't lost a set all tournament. He WORKED Haas who I thought would be a tough match for him. Easily dispatched of a tough player in Berdych too. I think he is playing at the top of his game right now and ran into a total buzzsaw in Del Potro but still was able to prevail.
Just as a measuring stick, I asked a few buddies who watch tennis casually and have been following this tournament what they thought the odds were on the match and they all thought Djokovic -250 or higher. My guess before looking was Djokovic -210.
Not saying Murray can't win this match, I really am surprised this line is low and it's probably an over-reaction to Djokovic getting taken to the wire by JDP.
Either way if you like Djok get him now and if you like Murray wait cause the line will move in Djok's favor IMO.
