MY tip for US Open glory Andy Murray returned to form on Sunday with a rampaging 6-1 6-4 6-2 victory over Feliciano Lopez of Spain.
I advised mrfixitstips followers to get on the 10-11 on offer for the British No.1 to win in straight sets and Murray didn't let us down.
After two frustrating days of rain he hopes to tackles Donald Young for a place in the quarter-finals and I'm afraid it's the end of the road at Flushing Meadows for the American.
Murray was poor against Robin Haase in the second round but after the scare was evidently more focused against Lopez.
Young has impressed with shock victories over seeds Stanislas Wawrinka and Juan Ignacio Chela but Murray is looking as good as he has been all season and should fear no one in New York.
The match started on Wednesday but lasted just 11 minutes before the players were forced off court again. It was 2-1 to Young on serve.
Murray, 1-14, Skybet, will be too strong for the 22-year-old American who is priced 9-1 with Skybet and Bet365.
In the pair's only previous meeting, earlier this year, Young won 7-6 6-3 in the last 64 at Indian Wells.
In the run-up to their second meeting Murray has spoken about the defeat to Young and that it came in “tough part of the year for me”.
With a patriotic home support I believe Young will be quietly confident and while I don't see him beating Murray I'm not so sure the No.4 seed will triumph in straight sets.
Murray to win 3-1 is 3-1 with Bodog, Victor Chandler, Boylesports, Totesport, Stan James and Betfred.
In saying that if Murray begins the way he did against Lopez it could be over in three – Murray 3-0 is 8-15 with Paddy Power.
Elsewhere, Rafael Nadal (1-16, various), David Ferrer (4-7, various) and John Isner (9-10, Boylesports, Victor Chandler) should reach the last eight by beating Gilles Muller (12-1, Bet365), Andy Roddick (6-4, various) and Gilles Simon (1-1, various) respectively. But all have been held up by the weather
Recommendation
Murray 3, Young 1
(3-1, Bodog, Victor Chandler, Boylesports, Totesport, Stan James and Betfred)
