Andy Murray has been growing in age, stature and the tennis headlines and now the Scottish tennis giant has reached his 1st ever grand Masters final which has been really well accepted by all the Murray fan brigade all over the world. The young Scottish prodigy has been showing us that he could have got to a lot of the finals around the world but this is now his first in Cincinnati and he will do anything to bring home the trophy. He beat Ivo Karlovic in 2 easy straight sets at the semi-final stage, 6-4 6-4, but as it turned out it was not a walk in the park.

Murray will now play Novak Djokovic in the final and I’m guessing his barmy Scottish army of fans will be backing him all the way and I’m going to have a bet on him also. My thinking behind this is Murray has always done well but never got to a final and now he is there I’m guessing he will do everything and more to bring home the goods and trophy. He is the fittest he has ever been and he has matured very well in the past year making him have a strong head for his first final.

There have been rumours that the legends like John McEnroe have suggested that Murray will be the first Brit to take the Wimbledon title in years and he will be the sole hope and eyes of the UK tennis society, will this final be the match point he needs to push him to the next level, I hope so?

So this year will you join me in a small gamble on who will finish top this season and also who will be relegated. If you make the bet now you get some really good odds rather than trying to do it half way through the season.

Here are all the major betting factions and there odds for the upcoming season so who will it be?
