Wimbledon men’s quarter-finals: Murray, Federer on course to meet

As Wimbledon enters the latter stage of its competition, Coral preview the bottom half of the men’s singles quarter-finals draw, where the winner of Andy Murray’s match with Vasek Pospisil will face one of Gilles Simon or Roger Federer.

Vasek Pospisil v Andy Murray

Canadian Pospisil (10/1 for victory) has already broken British hearts once this tournament, after coming back from 2-1 down to beat James Ward in a third round thriller, but Murray (1/25) should have enough to defeat the 25-year-old.

Prior to this year’s Wimbledon, Pospisil had never progressed past the thirds round of a Grand Slam event, but his grit and determination has already brought him through three five-setters and one four set matches this tournament so far.

Although he’s lost to Murray 2-0 in all three meetings to date, back him to at least get on the scoreboard this time around, as Andreas Seppi and Ivo Karlovic have managed this SW19 event. The Scot is a more enticing 3/1 shout to win 3-1.

Tournament second-favourite Murray (9/4) lost the third set in each of those match, so back Czech decent Pospisil, who has surprisingly outlasted Canadian compatriot and last year’s semi-finalist Milos Raonic, to win one at 7/4.
