Britain’s rising star, Andy Murray, should be able to tame his Italian opponent, Simone Bolleli, in the second round of the Madrid Masters today without too much effort. The young Scot is clearly playing his best tennis this season, having rocketed up to the 4th position on the ATP rankings.

Murray Gunning for fourth Masters Series Title
Murray will be gunning for his fourth Masters Series win this season alone, having already claimed the titles at Cincinnati, Doha and Marseilles. He stunned the tennis fraternity when he overcame some formidable opponents to meet Roger Federer in the final of the US Open and although he didn’t claim his maiden grand slam, he certainly gave the former world number one a run for his money!

Murray and Bolleli have never met in a match before but the young Italian is currently ranked 43rd on the world rankings and is still shy of an ATP title. There is little doubt Murray will progress to the next round and if history repeats itself, he may well be able to pocket another title and a healthy slice of the 2.27 million Euro prize fund!

Online sports bookmaker, boylesports, is currently offering odds on all the showdowns in Madrid and has Murray 2/13 to win against Simone Bolleli – 22/5 – on the ‘Pista Central’ later today.
