Many have written Andy Murray off. They say he’s past it, not the player he was, or simply too old and too fragile physically to compete at the highest level of tennis ever again. But then, the Scot has never been anything if not a fighter. Time and again we have seen Murray put in the hard graft to return from setbacks and injuries, and although his current problems are his worst yet, the 33-year-old’s strength of character means that he can never be written off, UK casino sites suggest.

Murray will have been given a confidence boost by his performances at the recent Cincinnati Masters, held in New York, where he reached the third round. Such an exit may seem unimpressive to those who would expect Murray to be reaching the latter stages of tournaments like he used to, but it was the manner of his performances that earned him acclaim.

Notably, he defeated the fifth seed at the event, Alexander Zverev, in round two – the kind of scalp Murray will take as a huge positive as he moves forward. Unfortunately he couldn’t repeat the trick against Milos Raonic, losing in straight sets, but it was enough to give Murray hope that he perhaps still has what it takes to challenge the elite. 

Although Murray was left bitterly disappointed by his performance against Raonic, he was able to accept that he made positive strides in terms of his return. He said: “The positive is I got three matches in, and physically, in terms of my hip, felt good. Played a couple of long ones, as well. Got through them.”

The test currently facing him is to continue that good showing at the US Open, where the physical challenge is all the more demanding due to the five-set matches played at Grand Slam events. While many might have fancied Murray in the US Open tennis odds at a price of 66/1 to win the competition, it would be a major surprise were he to pull off such a feat, with a long way to go in the tournament to realise that dream. 

Murray’s anger at his performance against Raonic was a good sign that he is still holding himself to the highest possible standards. While few expect him to do serious damage at the US Open, you can bet that he’ll be expecting the best of himself throughout the tournament. Murray knows that his very best is still more than good enough to win a Grand Slam, and it could prove that returning to the event where he won his first Grand Slam title could inspire him to a deep run in the tournament. 

It’s important that he takes it one step at a time. The last thing anyone wants to see is another injury setback for Murray after the nightmarish three years he has had in terms of his hip problems. Grand Slam tennis is notoriously demanding, so for Murray it will be about taking things one step at a time, one set at a time, and one match at a time. And maybe, just maybe, there’ll be glory at the end of it. 

TENNIS TIPS UK Club Membership – How it Works

Follow @TennisTipsUK

Synopsis: An email service where members receive regular betting picks direct to their inbox. This clearly states the match, specific bet and advised stake. There is a ‘best bet’ which is the highest value selection our team has found across all markets. This is exclusively available through the club membership. Club members should expect to receive 1-2 bets per week on average.

Who picks the advised bets?

Tennis Tips UK have a team of analysts built over the past decade. Each has shown a proficiency in beating ATP, Challenger or Grand Slam markets consistently. See an example of the email format members receive below. To make the service more practical to follow we send out picks twelve hours before the scheduled start time on average so it should be feasible to follow regardless of client timezone.

Odds sourced from Pinnacle or Bet365. Match winner (moneyline) markets used so practical to follow with any bookmaker. Those with access to an exchange account are likely to comfortably exceed the recorded profit figures even after commission is deducted so this is highly recommended.

How much profit have the picks made overall?

As of late 2025; a £100 bettor has enjoyed profits in excess of £10,000 assuming they backed the quoted price. Please note the image below is updated once annually – see the link below for the most up to date performance figures.

Full tracking is available publicly via a third party verification platform.

How do you profit from tennis betting?

There is no single ‘one size fits all’ approach. Tennis Tips UK have been fine tuning the selection process since way back in 2013. For a comprehensive insight into our thesis try exploring our tennis betting research articles.

I’m looking for a more hands-on approach, what do you recommend?

Some punters prefer to actively select or trade their own markets. The same thesis as before regarding compounding can still apply in this situation but crucially you’ll need to be able to find and back value bets yourself. There are advanced tools that let you identify +EV bets, see where sharp money is betting and apply complex filters to find markets that meet your criteria.

What about responsible gambling?

All forms of sports betting, including club picks, need to follow strict responsible gambling principles. The crucial one – never bet with funds that you can’t afford to lose. This means the assigned bankroll needs to be surplus to requirements. Adopting a long term, investment style approach as described previously will put you on the right path but this never replaces the ten golden rules of responsible gambling.

Why join the club?

It offers an investment approach to sports betting that allows disciplined members the ability to gradually grow their bankroll over time. Another key benefit of staking a fixed percentage of bankroll per match is that it scales and crucially compounds returns. Here is an explanation of the concept. This means over time your bankroll can grow exponentially and has resulted in multiple long term club members building pots in excess of £1M. Just remember at this level new challenges present themselves such as trying to get such large stakes accepted or matched but there are solutions out there and of course there is also the option to quit and retire.
