Murray's odds shorten after easy win

Andy Murray's odds of winning the ATP BNP Paribas Open have come in following a comfortable third-round victory.The British number one breezed past Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-3, 6-2, setting up a meeting with 15th seed Tommy Robredo of Spain in the last 16.Having recovered from a virus to compete in Indian Wells, the Scot looked slow in his opening game against Albert Montanes, after receiving a first-round bye.But he appeared to have improved significantly and remains on course for a semi-final meeting with Roger Federer.Murray confirmed that he "felt good", but added: "Physically I need to get better."He is currently third favourite to take the title in the online tennis betting market, with punters being offered odds of 3/1 by Ladbrokes.World number one Rafael Nadal, who booked his place in the third round with a straight-sets victory over Michael Berrer, is favourite and 888 Sport rates him at 15/8.
