Wimbledon Day Two-Murray to Win in Straight Sets

Andy Murray sets out on his quest for Wimbledon glory today when he plays unseeded Robert Kendrick. This looks a pretty straightforward task for Murray against a player he has beaten the three previous times they have met.

At 1/100 (Paddypower) Murray isn't worth backing in a single to win the match, but you can get a bit better value by taking match score or how many sets will be played.

Kendrick has only taken one set in his three previous meetings with Murray, but we're going for him to match that performance today and we're tipping Murray to win 3-1 in sets at 11/2 (888Sport).

Kendrick is 7/2 (Ladbrokes) to win a set and that's another bet we wil be placing.

It could be a good day for the Brits today as we think Anne Keothavong, Elena Baltacha and Katie O'Brien could all end up winning their matches today.

Keothavong is a strong favourite 2/9 (William Hill) to beat Austrian Mayr and we're predicting a straight sets win 8/13 (Paddypower).

Elena Baltacha plays an opponent ranked 70 places above her, but Baltacha always seems to play her best tennis at Wimbledon and could spring a bit of a surprise. Baltacha beat Bondarenko the only previous time they played on grass winning in straight sets and running away with the second set 6-1.

We're tipping Baltacha to cause a minor upset and think she could be good value at 9/4 (Coral). We're also tipping a 2-1 score at 5/1 (Betfred).

Katie O' Brien is 13/8 to beat Iveta Benesova and while this could be a really close match, we're going for O'Brien to just edge it.

Other bets we think are worth considering today are Leyton Hewitt to win 3-1 11/4 (William Hill), Marat Safin 2/5 (Skybet) to beat Jesse Levine with a 3-1 sets score at odds of 11/4 (Stan James).
