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.

Why Andy Murray Will Win Wimbledon 2022

Andy Murray is set to face John Isner on center court in the second round at Wimbledon on Wednesday.

Against Isner, Murray has dominated in the head-to-head matchups. He has eight wins paired with zero losses and is a nightmare matchup for the American. In those matches, Murray has only lost four sets across his eight wins.

If he can extend rallies against Isner and test his patience, it won’t be a surprise to see Murray advancing to Round 3.

That should set the Brit up for another deep Wimbledon run.

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.
