Andy Murray’s chances of winning Wimbledon have doubled to 2.44 percent after his opening round win against Jame Duckworth. While he is still a longshot to win Wimbledon after opening with +8000 odds, Murray’s Wimbledon odds have shortened to +4000 ahead of his Round 2 match against John Isner. With eight consecutive wins over Isner, Murray’s Wimbledon 2022 odds could be on the move once again, as he enters Round 2 as the betting favorite to advance.
Andy Murray’s Chances of Winning Wimbledon 2022
Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev aren’t competing at Wimbledon 2022, which should have helped improve Murray’s chances at Wimbledon in 2022. Yet, the top tennis experts haven’t given Murray much of a chance to win at Wimbledon this year.
Still, that hasn’t stopped the Brit from making another deep run at the All England Club.
Despite winning Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, Murray was a longshot in 2022 with only a 1.23 percent chance of winning, according to the top online sportsbooks.
After defeating James Duckworth in the Wimbledon opener, Murray’s probability to win increased to 2.44 percent, an increase of nearly 100 percent.
While there is still a very competitive field at the All England Club, Murray finds himself as a favorite to advance to the third round against John Isner.

Murray opened with +8000 odds to win Wimbledon 2022 but that price has shortened to +4000 since he defeated Duckworth in four sets.
While he is the heavy favorite, Murray’s style will be a challenge for Isner in Round 2.
Isner likes to keep his points short but Murray’s defensive style and ability to extend rallies will make him tough to beat on grass. He keeps his balls low and has a knack for creating short or sharp angles off the wings.
Murray will be the betting favorite against Isner and thus a good pick to advance in Round 2.

Murray is undefeated this season when getting off to a fast start, going 12-0 after winning the first set. He handles the pace well with the ability to redirect and manipulate points, which makes him dangerous when playing with the lead.
Murray has also gone 5-1 on grass this season and looks even more confident in front of the home crowd, making him a good bet to win it all once again at Wimbledon 2022.
