Tip and bets

1.8Handicap (+3) to Murray

Murray was on form in Cincinnati, and he has every chance to put up a fight against Kyrgios. Moreover, the Australian has not shown good results lately. Murray also leads the head-to-head at 5-2, but to be fair, he got all these victories when he was in his prime. Considering all of the above, we suggest playing a positive handicap to Murray.

Our prediction - Andy Murray to win with a handicap of (+3) games.
