ROGER FEDERER landed his seventh Cincinnati Masters title with a straight-sets win over Novak Djokovic on Sunday and has been cut to 5-1 for US Open glory.
Skybet and Ladbrokes are currently best price on Federer who was available at 7s at the start of the week. Djokovic remains favourite and is generally available at 5-4 while Andy Murray is 7-2 at the likes of Paddy Power and Unibet.
There was a glorious gold for Usain Bolt in the 100m at the World Championships on Sunday and today it's the turn of his female equivalent to go for glory.
Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who boasts back-to-back Olympic titles among her prize haul, is 2-5 favourite at Stan James to successfully defend her 100m title with Torie Bowie next in the market at 7-1 with Boylepsports followed by Dafne Schippers (12-1, William Hill).
There's plenty more track and field action from Beijing plus the likes of cycling and baseball elsewhere in the sporting world so let's hear your tips and thoughts and good luck with your bets.

Watched the D’backs game on YouTube and even though they won, I’m not happy with them! Iglesias struck out 13 D’backs over 6 innings, the main reason for that is they hardly swung the bat. Literally just taking strike after strike. Absolutely unbelievable!
Me too dazz
What a dagger
I had the jays and white sox too
For a nice 4 teamer
Good to be back on the site regulary now after traveling a lot the past few months and perfect timing with the NFL around the corner too
NFL Pre – Season
Dallas Cowboys @ San Francisco 49ers
* Game Total under 40.5 points @ 10/11
There’s not going to be your usual Californian weather in this game so the ball will most likely be kept on the ground with the clock ticking. Neither team are known for taken pre season seriously and although Tony Romo is expected to play some part I can’t see it being any more than 4 or 5 snaps. There has been a trend of most of the pre season games so far going under the game totals wich is not surprising but this has includided both of the Cowboys games so far going under the total and the 49ers being 1-1 on the totals. All in all think has has a good chance although being a pre season game due to the weather and lack of depth on either team and also news of Jordy Nelsons apparent ACL tear today might give both coaches more caution in how long the starters play
Jordy :(
I feel your pain mate
Don’t think that opening spread is going to change though I knew it would drop to – 6 we should still be safe there mate we got a steal at -4
as long as Aaron Rodgers is healthy mate it’s all good
I suppose Davonte Adams is not too bad of a back up to him you cheeseheaads are stacked on offense
I know bud, it’s a big lose but him out means guys like Adams can step up. Really started to impress in the off season. Jeff Janis playing well in pre season too so just gotta replace the yards and TD’s with a team effort. End of the day they’re still facing Jay Cutler :)
Next time Jordan
Dazz
Post your picks I love them
I like some hit parade tomorrow

Dolgopolov 4/7 good value bet playing great tennis at the minute nearly beat Djokovic in Cincinnati should get past kokkinakis here.
Nice one Picksix. That Hayne has had two big plays in his pre season games now. Great vision. Still not sure if he’ll get a roster spot though.
Johnny Manziel looks a new man after his rehab too. Threw some darts on the weekend. Mariota was fairly solid last night too. I’ve got a feeling he might have a better season than Winston.
B Paire is 4/5 to beat H Chung in the Winston Salem seems a great bet he’s higher ranked & in better form & generally a more accomplished player. Any thoughts Tennis experts?
No worries dazid mate
Jordan I hope he makes it mate I gotta give credit to him the best player at his sport earning around 800k a year to a 80k a year rookie salary to try and make it in the NFL because that is what he is always wanted to do is unheard off. It’s like messi leaving barca to go to have trials for lancashire cricket club
I’ve heard manziels mand up mate I didn’t catch anything on Saturday but I’m going to check the highlights from the games now, I caught some of Mariota last night and he looked good but that o line I don’t think is going to do him any favors come the regular season the week before they were terrible and didn’t help him at all, Titans play the bucs in the first round of games too so won’t be long til him and Winston go head to head
