Now making another strong run in the tournament, Murray looks to defeat No. 16 Bernard Tomic to assure himself of a seat in the quarterfinals. Will Murray blow by Tomic anew? Or will Tomic pull off a shocker?<\/p>\n<p>Read on for more about this matchup.

If he\u2019s to get there this year, he\u2019ll have to overcome a giant task in the form of Andy Murray.<\/p>\n<p>Tomic gained entry into the fourth round of this year\u2019s edition of the Grand Slam Down Under by after defeating Aussie John Millman in third round in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2. Prior to that game, Millman victimized Simone Bolelli and Denis Istomin in the second and first round, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Not one of those opponents is a top 50 player, which explains why Tomic has dropped just two sets on his way into the fourth round.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, Tomic will have to continue the strong play he\u2019s shown in the past contests. So far in the tournament, Tomic has hit more winners (149) than unforced errors (108). Moreover, Tomic has his serve-game looking good with 60 aces.<\/p>\n<p>Tomic has a 95\u201372 career hard court record.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join TopBet online sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>\u00a0and score a Grand Slam of your own.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on Andy Murray<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Andy-Murray.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-92303\" alt=\"Bernard Tomic vs. Andy Murray Preview, Prediction, and Picks \u2013 2016 Australian Open\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Andy-Murray.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Andy-Murray.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Andy-Murray-250x166.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Andy Murray\u2019s dream of winning an Australian Open title remains a possibility this year after beating No. 32 Joao Sousa in the third round, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. He\u2019ll face another ranked opponent in Tomic, but based on his previous encounters with the Australian, it seems Murray will have another walk in the park victory this Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Murray has met Tomic three times in past, winning them all. That includes the Brit\u2019s dominant 7-5, 6-3, 6-2 hard surface victory over Tomic in the semifinals of the 2015 Davis Cup. Prior to that, Murray whipped Tomic in the Masters 1000 in Miami in 2013 to the tune of a 6-3, 6-1 score.<\/p>\n<p>Murray is bringing his imposing defensive game into Monday\u2019s meeting with Tomic. Murray has broken his opponents\u2019 serves 19 times on 36 break chances thus far in the 2016 Australian Open. His opponents have also committed 119 total unforced errors. Moreover, Murray\u2019s devastating first serve is going to be a big problem for Tomic, as he\u2019s been broken only three times in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Murray is 26\u201316 in Grand Slam
