Make Murray your perfect French fancy

- By Douglas Cumming

JUST when you thought Novak Djokovic had ANDY MURRAY in his pocket came last week’s heart-warming events in Rome. By lifting the Italian Open, Murray didn’t just earn only his second win over the Serb in 14 attempts, he struck a huge psychologi­cal blow in the process. The man is not unbeatable, as Stanislas Wawrinka proved in sensationa­l style in the final last year at Roland Garros. Murray was still available at 8/1 with Betfred following last Sunday’s straight-sets victory but that has contracted rapidly during the course of the week. The SUPER SCOT is still good value at around the 9/2 mark and his third grand slam looks just around the corner.
