Andy Murray v Richard Gasquet French Open Round 1 Odds

Some Bookmakers have number 4 seed, Andy Murray as short as 2/5 odds on to defeat former French number 1, Richard Gasquet in the first round of the French Open today, however shrewd tennis punters will know that this will be far from an easy match for the Scot. Best price available for him to win in fact is 1/2 odds on offered by Paddy Power with Gasquet being a 6/4 option.

The two men who joined the professional tennis circuit at around the same time have met three times previously, with the Frenchman having the upper hand leading their head to head by 2-1.However the last time they met was in the 4th Round at Wimbledon in 2008, when Murray came back, virtually from the dead to win a thrilling five setter after being two sets down.

French Open Tennis Odds Comparison

Most tennis fans will be aware that Gasquet has only just returned to the tennis circuit after serving a ban for drug misuse, but the break appears to have done him some good as he won his first tournament back last week on clay in Germany and comes to Roland Garros in good form.

Murray meanwhile after reaching the final of the Australia Open in January has had a poor run of form. He has failed to win a single tournament and has only won just about half his matches played so far this year; this is why we think that Gasquet might be the man to back today, We quite like the look of a 3 sets to 1 outcome which can be backed with PaddyPower with odds of 5/1, while a straight sets win is available at 7/1 and a five set win at 9/2.
