The Ukrainian who is currently ranked 78th in the world and it should be and easy game for Murray but Marchenko did surprise everyone last year when in the same competition he defeated the former world numbers one, Carlos Moya in the first round.
After Murray defeated Karol Beck in the first round with a comfortable 6-3, 6-1, 4-2 he was on course for a win but Slovack had to retire due to a should injury Murray now is at odds of 1/5 not reach the final and at odds of 3/1 to get there. He then finds himself at odds of 8/1 get his hand on the Grand Slam title, which would be the first of his career.
