SERENA WILLIAMS hit back from a set down to progress at the expense of Flavia Pennetta in the Rogers Cup and today sees a battle of two former Grand Slam champions.
Fourth seed Petra Kvitova has struggled for form this year, failing to make an impact at any of the majors, and will be looking for a confidence boost ahead of the US Open when she faces No.7 seed Victoria Azarenka.
Ex-world No.1 Azarenka is the 8-13 favourite at Coral while Kvitova is a 13-8 shot at Paddy Power and over 2.5 sets pays 7-5 at StanJames.
Beaten Wimbledon finalist Garbine Muguruza takes on Lesia Tsurenko and fellow seeds Angelique Kerber and Agnieszka Radwanska also look for smooth progress into round three.
In the men's singles in Montreal the likes of Rafa Nadal, Stan Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori are all in action while the first-ever meeting between Gael Monfils and Gilles Muller should be worth a watch.
Elshwere today there's cricket and cycling among the sporting highlights so let's hear your tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
*From yesterday*
Montreal ATP treble:
Pospisil (Win)
Isner (Win)
Thiem (Lose)
2.99 @ Bet365 (Lose)
Why is it always the last game that screws up your acca? Thiem not at the races.
Good luck
Good day again with Pospisil Isner Makarova making a nice winner after Gasquet withdrew.
Quick look at tonights games my early thoughts are Simon Cilic Nishikori Makarova – pays around 11/8, good luck all

Add
Astros o6.5 hits @ 1.74 *lost*

Thanks Dazzler, Mad Bum on form full 9 innings 12 k’s to beat your Astro hits, D-backs hits well in for your single
1st time all 15 home teams win last night, would of been some bet that
Tsurenko d Muguruza @ 9/4
2-0 @ 5/1
the in form ukranian has strung 8 wins and a title together since wimbledon. and hasnt dropped a set in her last 10 sets.
mug hasnt played since defeat inthe final, and potentially rusty favourites, esp on wta, with expectation on their shoulders is a good place to look for an upset.
set and break up :)
Great tipping AD never in doubt, i just seen your post about 20mins too late!
To be fair I only put it up about 5 minutes before the match started. was slow getting my ducks lined up day!
Tonight’s mlb
D’backs o8.5 hits @ 1.83
Add
Indians o7.5 hits @ 1.66
Double @ 3.05 (50% stake)
Going for Strycova d Lisicki @ 9/5. I think this price is overly reflective of Lisicki’s trouncing of Venus in the last round. Form wise these two are in the same ball park, though BZS has had the slightly better year. their only meeting was this year an BSZ won, so this looks good value to me. Sabine more than capable of putting ina stinker after a good win.
Ad,Azarenka v Kvitova who’ll come out on top?
D’backs o8.5 hits is in. Phillies are the team that just keep giving at the moment. Giving hits away that is!
Dazzler. I am in Aruba. Wall to wall baseball. Your Diamondback tips look like paying for my drinks 3rd nite in a row.
Hollywood Rainham glad I can help ;)
