ANDY MURRAY today plays his first match since splitting from coach Amelie Mauresmo as the British No.1 looks to avoid an Italian Open shock.
Murray tackles world No.87 Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan and is 2-7 at Unibet to triumph in straight sets while over 2.5 sets pays 7-2 at bet365.
The world's top two, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, are also in second-round action while match of the day looks to be Milos Raonic (17-14, marathonbet) against Nick Kyrgios (4-5, Sportingbet).
In the women's singles British No.1 Johanna Konta has booked her second-round place with victory over Johanna Larsson and today Heather Watson looks to go a step further when she faces Barbora Strycova.
On the Stateside sport front there's two NBA play-off semi-final showdowns plus plenty of MLB action.
Other sporting highlights including stage five of cycling's Giro d'Italia and IPL cricket so let's hear all your tips and chat.

@dazzler happy timez #winner train
well done dazzler
Cycling: Giro d’Italia 2016 stage 5
Sacha Modolo to win each-way @ 15.00 with WH – 2 points (still available @ 11.00)
Great finish for him. An uphill sprint which suits him very well, can’t see bookies favourite Kittel finishing with the best here.
Match-up:
Dumoulin to beat Brambilla @ 1.83 with Betfair – 13 points
Dumoulin is the race leader and I think he will try to finish as close as possible on the uphill sprint. Brambilla could be working for his team mate Kittel or Trentin for the sprint and I think he will finish a little bit further in the field.
Very quiet on here lately…..NBA playoffs I expected a lot more posts….where is Huggy & Hunter to name a few?? Missing AD and JohnB tennis tips as well….thankfully Dazzler is keeping up the good work on the MLB…. the man is on fire superb tipping!
juan, Johnb’s on holiday – Ad hasn’t been on since we changed the site.
I too miss his tennis tips but I know someone who could fill the void.
Juan, nobody has to post if they don’t want to. NBA Playoffs doesn’t mean more tips. Less if anything with less games available.
Blue Jays money line @ 1.74 (2.5pts) *won*
Red Sox money line @ ?
There’s no odds for the game yet but I’ll be back the Red Sox. I’m expecting short odds though.
Bangalore 4/5 general ipl goin for three in a row onwards and upwards 2 pts come on kohli bring it home
Cries@dazzler let me forget today’s tip.coz my bookie are not even offering them!
No one’s offering the market yet yet mate.
Don’t know why but it happens sometimes in baseball.
Just keep an eye out and the bookies will put it up at some point.
Thanks for the quality tips the past few days mate, looking out for odds becoming available and have started reading up a lot more on MLB.
What’d you reckon to the below as a potential money like treble:
Cubs, Rangers & Indians?
4.03 with 365
Sorry rob I’ve only just been able to get back on and all those are inplay now.
The Cubs are playing a double header today so that would have been a definite no. I have a rule never to back a teams when they play a double header.

Steph Curry vs Damian Lillard
Steph Curry -0.5 @ 5/6 @ Paddys – 1.2 points
Been looking at the player matchups quite a lot recently, if Steph plays like last game he should smash Lillard!
I liked the look of Biyambo too until I read the stuff on Rotoworld, think he’ll still get the minutes?
@nick supposedly DeRozan can’t grip the ball properly so not sure what game plan they’ll go for. Lowrys totals could be worth a go if that is true about DeRozan, but Biyambo should still get some minutes. Small ball may fail.
Oh @nick, are you a certified Cowboys fan now? ;)
I was gutted that he went to a team without a few flair or exciting players haha, think I’ll just be an Elliot fan ;)
Used your old theory for Lowry aswell, he was shocking last game when I bet on him so went for it again :P
