Andy Murray is 20/1 with Ladbrokes to beat Rafael Nadal & Roger Federer on his way to winning the 2011 Australian Open.

Murray is the well backed 7/1 third favourite to win the tournament with Federer and Nadal 7/4 joint favourites. His most likely stage of elimination is the semi-finals at 15/8 with 20/1 the price about a shock first round elimination.

He’s 40/1 to win the tournament without dropping a set and 5/1 to win two or more games 6-0.

Ladbrokes also guarantee to be top price about Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic until midnight on Saturday.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: “We are in the strange position of cheering on two joint favourites as punters beleive Murray can go one better than last year and win.”
