Murray vs Duckworth Betting Pick
Wimbledon will see Andy Murray take the court on day one at the end of the Monday schedule. There, he will look to rebound from an injury, while James Duckworth will aim to ruin his homecoming. In our tennis betting picks from Wimbledon, we look at Murray vs Duckworth in a match where Murray is both the sentimental favorite and the favorite to win the match.
Why Bet On James Duckworth:
✅ We are not 100% sure what we are getting from a health perspective on Andy Murray’s end. Murray suffered an injury during his most recent match, two weeks ago against Matteo Berrettini. He has made it his mission to play at Wimbledon on home soil, but his lack of match time over the last couple of weeks is a little concerning.
✅ James Duckworth is by no means a great player, but he has won a couple of recent matches on grass. Duckworth has also taken a set off of Murray in a major before, doing so in the 2018 US Open. He shouldn’t win this match, but Duckworth should at least force Murray to play more than three sets in this contest.

✅ Murray was in this same spot last year, playing through injury at Wimbledon. He was not able to win his first two matches in straight sets before he was taken out by Denis Shapovalov. Murray is in better condition than he was a year ago, but is still not at 100%, and we should see a similar performance through the first couple of rounds.
Andy Murray
Andy Murray made a nice run to the final at the last tournament he played in. That was in Stuttgart on grass, though Murray fell short in the final against Matteo Berrettini. More important than the result was the fact that Murray struggled with injury in that match, something that could come into play for him at Wimbledon.
Of course, the crowd at the All England Club will be on the side of Murray in this match. The only real question is how Murray’s body will hold up. We have not seen him on the court in two weeks, and if his injury issues are still not resolved, his dream campaign on home soil could get off to a more difficult start than it needs to.
James Duckworth
For James Duckworth, the 2022 campaign has not been a good one on tour. He has won just two matches on the year, but those two matches came on grass over the last couple of weeks. Here, he will not be expected to win. But if Duckworth can compete early in this match, there is always the possibility that he can wear down a player in Murray who is not always healthy from start to finish.
The key to this match for Duckworth will be his ability to push Murray, but also in the psychology of this matchup. Some players fold when a venue is cheering entirely for the other player. But if Duckworth can play without feeling pressure, as if he has nothing to lose, his confidence could grow as the match goes on.
