#1. Andy Murray vs Stan Wawrinka
Trending
Wawrinka’s 7-9 head-to-head record against Andy Murray is the best he has against any of the “Big Four” players, having a 5-19, 3-18, and a 3-15 record against Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal respectively. Both Wawrinka and Murray have had contrasting performances in 2016. While Murray was consistent throughout the entire year apart from one or two glitches, Wawrinka had a rather inconsistent year with the US Open triumph and semi-finals at the French Open and the Rogers Cup being the silver lining on his cloud.However, that doesn’t mean that Murray will have it easy against Wawrinka because Wawrinka has bounced back from poor form quite a number of times. Take the US Open where Wawrinka was coming at the back of poor outings at Wimbledon and the Cincinnati Masters. He did not have it easy at the tournament as he was given a huge scare in the third round by Briton Daniel Evans and had to go through the likes of Juan Martin Del Potro and Kei Nishikori in the quarters and semis respectively before beating Djokovic in the final.
Wawrinka and Murray will meet for the second time this year after having met at the French Open semi-finals where Murray was the undisputed winner in four sets. This match could well decide the winner of the John McEnroe group.
Murray will definitely be given a tough fight by Wawrinka but the amount of consistency he has maintained this year just makes him an overwhelming favorite to win the season-ending championships.
Prediction- Murray to win in three sets
