Andy Murray vs Laurent Lokoli – Match Predictions

Despite losing in the opening round of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid, Andy Murray is preparing for the upcoming Roland Garros. The competition in Aix En Provence is not on the highest level, but winning a tournament can be a huge boost for the former world No. 1.

Andy Murray to win

Murray played excellent in the opening round against Gael Monfils getting the job done in just 82 minutes. Now, he will face another home player Laurent Lokoli who has never been even close to the top 100 players on the tour. Lokoli is seven years younger than Murray but it is hard to say that he is in better shape than him. Murray has learnt how to use his experience and when to attack and that will make the difference in this match.

Over 21.5 games

Lokoli moves well on the court but that will not be enough to be a threat on Murray’s serve. The Frenchman will try to stay in the match which will be the case to a certain point. It is hard to believe that he will win a set but will be able to play at least one long set which at the end will be enough to take this match over 21.5 games.
