Sky Bet are offering over thirty pre-match Australian Open betting markets ahead of Andy Murray's quarter-final clash with Rafa Nadal. Special bets include 15/8 for Tuesday's match to go to five sets and it's 5/6 for there to be forty games or more.

Sky Bet make the British number one narrow 4/5 favourite to beat the world number two (21/20). Murray is the only man yet to drop a set in four matches in Melbourne and Sky Bet offer 4/1 that he records as straight sets victory over the Spaniard.

Despite his comfortable progress to the quarter-finals, Murray's erratic first service percentage has caused some consternation. Sky Bet go 4/7 that he commits more double faults than Nadal (5/4).

Sky Bet's tennis betting expert Stephen Parkes said: "This is so far the profile match of the tournament and at the moment Murray is just winning the battle for favouritism. All signs point to a close, long match but in the big match atmosphere anything could happen."
