Murray 4/1 to beat Djokovic 2-1

Yet again, childhood friends and now foes Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic find themselves against one another in a tournament final – this time of the Internazionali D’Italia (also called the Italian Open or Rome Masters).

It it from this crunch clash that Coral have picked out our Sunday bet of the day from, with Murray priced at a terrific 4/1 to win 2-1 in this warm-up for the 2016 French Open.

Read on to find out why you should back this brilliant bet…

In terms of meetings, this will be their fourth final in succession, with the last two going to three sets, and Murray will feel that he is going into this encounter in better touch having not dropped a set this tournament.

Djokovic, on the other hand, has looked out of sorts at times, going down to a rare 6-0 scoreline in the opening set of his third round match with Thomaz Bellucci, while he also had to dig extremely deep in the semis against Kei Nishikori.
