Andy Murray will be looking to progress to the last eight of Wimbledon against a French opponent who has been a problem in the past.

Murray has not been at his absolute best during the tournament so far but he has done enough each time to get over the line. He has the recent edge over Gasquet and knows all about the Frenchman’s game as they grew up playing against each other. Murray is priced at 2/7 with Boylesports and Victor Chandler.

Richard Gasquet comes into this game knowing that he can beat Murray because he’s done it before and he’ll believe he can do it again. He is fit enough and good enough to match Murray into the later sets and took a two set lead over the Scot at the French Open last month. The Frenchman will also be under less pressure which could work in his favour. He is 3/1 to win with Betfred.

Andy Murray will have to be aware from the very first point of the match. Gasquet will try to make a fast start and stop Murray from winning the first set. If this happens then it leaves the Scot with a lot of work to do and a big recovery to make. Murray to win 3-1 is 14/5 with Sportingbet.

Gasquet will be more than up for a long hard slog in this game because it will grind Murray down to see what he’s made of. Gasquet is no stranger to going five sets against a variety of opponents and too win the match 3-2 is 10/1 with Stan James.

These players will be difficult to separate during the early stages of the match. They will try to out power and out play each other which could mean they cancel each other out.

A first set tie break is a good bet at 16/5 with Sportingbet.
