ANDY MURRAY faces a busy day if he's to win the Aegon Championships after rain stopped play in his semi-final on Saturday.
The Scot resumes at 11am against Viktor Troicki with the score 3-3 in the first set and Murray is huge favourite to progress. He's 4-11 at Betfred to win the tournament and the man awaiting in the final, big-serving South African Kevin Anderson, is 11-4 at Skybet while Troicki is available at 20s.
At the Weber Open Final in Halle, Roger Federer is out to land his eighth Halle title and faces Andreas Seppi, whose only win over the Swiss in 12 previous meetings came at this year's Australian Open.
Federer is just 1-8 at Betfair for victory and 4-9 at Betway to triumph in two sets against the Italian who is priced up at 7-1 to stage another surprise over the world No.2.
There's also women's final action at the Aegon Classic where Karolina Pliskova is 11-8 at Coral against Angelique Kerber, the 4-6 favourite at William Hill.
Lewis Hamilton starts from pole in the Austrian Grand Prix and is 4-9 at William Hill to clock up a second successive victory with Nico Rosberg 3-1 at bet365.
There's also the likes of snooker, darts and cycling taking place today so post your tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly 
Great day for england with them winning the series 3-2 against world cup runners up new zealand. Confidence back in the side now and hopefully go on to see a successful summer.
T20 blast action tomorow:
Sussex to beat glamorgan 1/1 – 3points
GL
Van Gerwen for the darts 11/10. This field is missing Taylor Anderson Lewis Wade Barney. Chisnall Wright & few others can give him a game but if he plays his best he wins. He didn’t play great today but raised his game when it really mattered. Should be odds on in my opinion
LOUIS OSSTHUIZEN TO WIN THE US OPEN 25/1 e/way 3 places,
No luck on the tennis picks yesterday Karlovic couldnt quite pinch the first set v Federer , and Lisicki lost to Kerber in straight sets :-(
Turning to the Us open golf today with a player I hope will give me a god run for my £’s;
Louis Ossthuizen to win the US Open 25/1 e/way 1st 3 places
s/james / bet365
Just 3 off the lead and best last two rounds by far after an opening 7 over.As the class and patience required.
De Niro that looks like a good shout on the golf.must be 1 hell of a course with the scores that r coming through
Was about to tip Louis Oosthuizen at 25/1 to
win the US Open, and see De Niro had already
tipped it. Good to see others think the same, looks
like huge odds to me after shooting 66
Knight rider,
apparently course is a nightmare with Gary Player calling it the worst he has ever seen, all the pros playing are calling it the fairways way too hard and greens way too hard to read and the bunkers impossible too,
Gary Player said this;
It’s 7,900 yards long. The world is in dire straits with water. Can you imagine the costs to maintain this? And it’s a public course, but they’ll probably charge the public $200 to play it. I’d like to challenge anyone with a 16 handicap to do better than 40 over par. It’s basically unplayable.”
SO HOPEFULLY non of the four players 3 shots ahead WILL RACE AWAY from Louis tonight – lets see :-)
De Niro, it’s the same for everyone so Oosthuizen will need to start well and see if he can put them under pressure. Yesterday he was out much earlier than the leaders so had softer greens. Today he’ll face the same conditions as the leaders so will have no advantage.
Mr F
thats it its all about opinions;
only a mug punter would back the first 4 now IMHO at the odds,
So of the ones 3 back he seems to stand out head and shoulders above the rest, due to temperament and proven nerve, lets see how it plays out.
I make him more like a 14/1 shot
25/1 is far too big IMHO.
I think he will win tonight – famous last words egg on face time :-(
Lets see ;-)
De Niro, I’ve backed Grace ew as you know at 14s. Oosthuizen must have a chance of a place but the winner for me now comes from Johnson or Spieth.
Good luck with Grace Mr F he’s in a good position for you and more momentum then both Speith and Johnson who are both heading in the wrong direction it seems, maybe they due a good round,
Top 4 all under huge pressure though and non looking anything special,
Momentum is with Day and Grace of the front runners,
Crowd with the two Yanks !
Destiny is with Louis I hope ;-)
Shane Ryan @ShaneRyanHere
Oosthuizen is -10 through his last 34 holes. An eagle, 10 birdies, 2 bogeys. Easily the hottest player at Chambers right now.
De Niro, the Oosty stats are amazing but as I said crucially he was out early yesterday and had much easier conditions.
Johnson’s power gives him a huge advantage and Spieth has it all so they’ll be tough to beat.
Kind of dismissing Day due to his illness but it would be some story if he came through.
Should be exciting though and I’m going to try to stay up for the finish.
Shane Lowry ew 16/1
ANderson queens 11/4
Sussex Cricket 1/1 as mentioned
Boxing
Errol Spence Jr vs Phil Lo Greco
* Total Rounds Under 8.5 @ 5/6 **WON**
I’m adding this one to the boxing bets I posted yesterday, i only realized he was fighting this morning and if anyone has not seen Spence jr fight he’s something special , the fight is scheduled for 10 rounds and I was surprised to see the total rounds set so high and I expect a Spence jr to stop Lo Greco early
Boxing
Shawn Porter vs Adrien Broner
* Shawn Porter @ 10/11 **WON**
Having been undecided about this fight for weeks I decided to watch both fighters recents fights back over too see if I could be swayed Into picking a winner, I am now more or less convinced Porter will come out on top , apparently broner has improved since his defeat to maidana but I just can’t see it, still mentally weak and and still overrated , a Porter win for me
Boxing bet
I have gone large on this one as like the look of it mentioned above I think the Ward fight will go the distance anyway and Porter/broner should go the distance too ,The only chance that’s has not happening is if Porter gets a stoppage before it but I can’t see that happening
* Total rounds
Ward vs Smith over 7.5
Broner vs Porter over 8.5
Double @ EVS **WON**
Rangers @ White Sox

2/3 ain’t bad.
Dazid unlucky in your double, 2 really bad fielding errors cost the Rangers and they should have won 2-1 really.
Boxing bet ( tomorow)
Andre Ward vs Paul Smith
* Andre Ward by Decision/ Tech Decision @ 13/8
**LOSE**
Would not had place this bet if ward had not had a 19 month lay off , he’s gonna want to put some rounds under his belt and this has a great chance of going the distance and is also a good price , smiths not really a good boxer and is nowhere near the level of Ward but I think he will just about hang on with him
Would reccomend looking at cover in the later rounds if the price is good enough
A good night 3/4 and the largest bet landing aswell but kicking myself a bit on the ward winning by decision bet , lost a bit of confidence in the bet leading up to the fight and the bet was more or less hoping for a slow start from Ward and it wasn’t the case,he started off flying and looked as good as I have seen him, smith hung in until the 9th when the corner threw the towel in, maybe could of went the distance but it would have got nasty if if it did so wasn’t surprised they pulled him out
De Niro great right up very interesting.in menorca at the moment with the wife and kids so I’m not getting to see any sport which is killing me lol.like coming on here and reading the threads and getting all the stats.keep up the good work

Breezed it
Tennis experts, AD around? Worth getting on Anderson at 4/1?
I’m on over 22 games should be tight.
inplay kk vs wexford -7.5 pays 1.72
there up 6 at the moment and with a strong wind at the back should easily cover this handicap in the second half
they look like they are out for goal with 3 in the 1st half
Murray too good a loser for over games I reckon
Mark69, he was exceptional today – it can only be Murray or Djokovic for Wimbledon. No one else playing at their level just now.
DK Thanks for the tip on Sussex in the cricket today easy 10 wicket win for them
Boxing
Rances Barthelemy vs Antonio DeMarco
Boxing on a Sunday night?
* Rances Barthelemy by Decision/ Technical Decision @ 5/6 (Half Stakes)
Just a half stakes bet on this for me, barthelemy has moved up in weight for this one ( hence half stakes) the fight is scheduled for 10 rounds , Barthelemys more aggressive than most Cuban fighters wich im slightly wary of but DeMarco is no mug and I’m expecting a majority points decision to go barthelemys way
Sussex 1/1 – 3 points *WIN*
No problem Dazid316. Another day another cricket winner.. Very comfortable today.
Darts tonight:
Michael smith over 2.5 180s 4/5 – 5 points
Only 365 have this market up from the bookies i’ve looked at. Certainly should be set at 3.5 in my view considering Smith is up in the top 3 maximum hitters in darts in my opinion. Won 6-3 earlier and hit 5 180s in the process. Playing jenkins in the quarter final now and its first to 6 again. Jenkins is a very good player and due to this i expect it to be a close game which gives smith all the time he needs to hit 3 180s. GL
Picksix, nice tipping last night on the boxing. Was on porter myself. Left the ward fight alone as couldnt decide whether to go with stoppage or points. What do you think is next for him?

Darts tonight:
Michael smith over 2.5 180s 4/5 – 5 points
**WIN**
Cricket was comfortable, that was anything but. A win is a win though. Will be hoping they put up the same 2.5 line for the semi final later on.
Another bet for the quarter finals:
Chisnall most 180s 4/5 – 2.5 points
Chisnall probably the best 180 hitter in darts against a huybrechts who has not been on top form recently. Only 2.5 points because im not usually a fan of these ‘most 180’ bets but there is good value in this.
DK cheers mate some nice winners there yourself
Ye I think the price lured me into the bet more than anything as I said I wouldn’t have touched it if he didn’t have that lay off but , smith was in terrible shape going into the fight aswell so it was too much to ask for it go the distance in the end he got bullied
I think he wants a rematch with froch apparently at wembley , didn’t enjoy the last fight they had though would like someone else to come into the frame , there’s been a lot of catch weight fights recently so I’m hoping someone coming from another weight division comes calling , either golovkin going up or kovalev droping down to fight Ward would be dream fights
Dont know what smith was doing, how can he be so far over the weight, disgraceful.
Ward did win the light heavyweight gold in 2004 so im hoping he goes up in weight and takes on kovalev. Noboday can touch him at super middle.
Another bet for the quarter finals:
Chisnall most 180s 4/5 – 2.5 points
**WIN**
Great day so far.
Just as i had hoped. 2.5 is the line set for smith 180s.
Smith vs White
– Smith over 2.5 180s 4/5 – 5points
Explanation is above. Similar to jenkins, white is playing well and due to that smith will have more than enough time to hit 3 180s. In the quarters he hit 3 exactly along with several 140s so there could have been much more and i expect there to be in this.
Cardinals are getting wrecked 1-9 despite their pre-match 1/2 odds. Sadly for me so are the Royals, messing up my double with the Rangers who are leading.
Smith vs White
– Smith over 2.5 180s 4/5 – 5points
**WIN**
More good news is that he won and is in the final. Hopefully the line stays at 2.5
Smith vs van de pas – final
Smith win 4/6 – 2points
Smith most 180s – 2 points
Smith over 2.5 180s – 2 points
Hopefully a good finish to a good day.
Kk Gaelic sports bet won easily yesterday making it 6/6 for me for the week between soccer and other sports. Hopefully have another good week this week
Smith win 4/6 – 2points **WIN**
Smith most 180s 4/5 – 2 points **WIN**
Smith over 2.5 180s 4/5 – 2 points **WIN**
Was it ever in doubt. Top day
