Murray finds some form

August 22, 2011 By admin

World No. 4 Andy Murray has this week continued his build-up to the start of the US Open in typically bullish fashion by dispatching Alex Bogomolov Jr. in the third round of the Cincinnati Masters, in a one-sided affair which ended 6-2 7-5 in a little over an hour and a half. 
Going into this match, the Scot’s confidence was boosted by his straight sets win in the previous round against the Argentine, David Nalbandian, and at times against Bogomolov, Murray showed glimpses of the form which took him all the way to the semi-finals of Wimbledon earlier this year. Certainly he looks as though he has put his shock defeat at the hands of Kevin Anderson in the Rogers Cup in Montreal last month firmly behind him. Anyone looking at the US Open betting will be wondering if he can push on from here.
Despite having lost to Bogomolov earlier this year in Miami, Murray certainly appeared to have exorcised any lingering demons from that day, and any dreams that a similar result might occur in this most recent meeting certainly seemed to be dashed when the British No. 1 opened up a 4-0 lead in the first set to give the American an unassailable mountain to climb. Those following the tennis betting will have made Murray a massive favourite from that point.
From there on in, there was only one man in the contest, and despite Bogomolov rallying in the second set, there was always the sense of inevitability about the eventual outcome. Murray’s forehand was lethal, and his serve was as intelligently used as it was powerful.
Earlier this week, Murray expressed his concern over the pace of the courts being used at the event, but as far as preparation goes for the US Open next month, he couldn’t have asked for a better work-out. Having reached the final of the Open in 2008, Murray knows exactly what it takes to go all the way – and if he is to win the first Grand Slam of his career, then a cool head will be essential.
