Published:Ladbrokes have made Andy Murray 5/2 second favourite for the US Open ahead of his second round clash with Dustin Brown.
The Scot is just 1/100 to beat the unknown Jamaican and 1/6 to win in straight sets.
Roger Federer remains favourite at 11/8 and is 25/1 to play another clean winner through his legs against Paul-Henri Mathieu in round three. Ladbrokes offer 6/1 that the Swiss maestro will win at least 20 Grand Slams in his career.
David Williams of Ladbrokes said: “Anything other than an easy Murray win would be a huge shock. We’re already gearing up for him to meet Nadal in the semis in what could be a record breaking match.”
