Perhaps this might influence his chances of winning his first match at the tournament? Surely there will be some psychological effect.
I think the effect will be minimal. Murray is professional enough to give this a place when playing. His first match is against Mannarino and Murray should be able to win this in 2 sets.
@aoluain this point has been discussed here a while ago that there’s no fixed champion in women tennis, and hence wagering on it become very difficult, I can’t find the post as it’s buried but those who discussed on this point post regularly in this thread, so I’m sure that they’ll share their opinions once again.
I was one of the guys who mentioned this. I think that nobody of the current Women tennis players is strong enough to really dominate the field and win a lot of grandslams similar to what S. Williams has done.
