Murray to beat Edmund 2-1

Prior to 2016, it was a rare occurrence to see British players in both the men’s and women’s tours facing each other. But now it seems to happen every other tournament and Andy Murray takes on Kyle Edmund in the early hours of Friday at around 03:00 BST in the China Open quarter-finals.

It is from this match too that Coral have picked out our latest bet of the day, with hugely enticing odds of 7/2 available for the Scotsman to beat Englishman Edmund 2-1 in sets.

Read on to find out why taking this price could mean great rewards…

Davis Cup teammates Murray and Edmund have actually faced each other once before, at the Queen’s Club Championships earlier this year and at this same quarters stage.

The current ATP world number two triumphed that day, but South African-born Yorkshireman Edmund was able to grab the second set to enforce a decider.
