ITALIAN OPEN glory was a piece of cake for Andy Murray on his 29th birthday yesterday as he hit top form ahead of next week's French Open.
The Scot saw off Novak Djokovic in straight sets in Rome – his first win on clay in five attempts against the world No.1 – and his best odds for the Roland Garros title have now been cut from 8-1 to 6-1 at the likes of Betfred and Betway.
Djokovic remains favourite at 5-6 with Coral to claim the French Open title – the only Grand Slam that has so far eluded him – while Rafa Nadal is 4-1 at bet365 and reigning chap Stan Wawrinka is 17-1 at Unibet.
In the NBA play-offs tonight the West final gets under way with Golden State Warriors 3-10 at StanJames to start with a win at home to OKC Thunder (16-5, Sportingbet).
There's also the likes of cricket and baseball worth a flutter so post your tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly 
This is a double for the future and I expect the prices to drop so taking it now. A New Zealand team to win Super Rugby 2016 (47/100) and New Zealand to win the Rugby Championship 2016 (4/7). Double pays 1.31/1. The position of the NZ teams on the Super Rugby table says it all and they’ve been on a different level as expected and I can’t see them losing their Rugby Championship title either That price is an absolute steal!
French Basketball Playoffs
Strasbourg @ Pau-Orthez (19:30GMT)
Game two of playoffs as Strasbourg travel to Pau-Orthez. The first encounter strasbourg won by 5 points and now they will try to repeat the feat in what should be a tougher road game. Looking at the stats, strasbourg havent lost away to Orthez since 2014. And all the leads have been more than 10 points. Today i see the same way. Strabourg are great team that have huge winning streak. They have won against pau orthez 8 times in the row. Strasbourg have a strong team and although Orthez are at home, I’m far from convinced they have the depth in quality to record what would be a huge win for them.
Strasbourg (-3.5) @ 7/4 William Hill – 1.5pts staked.
Good luck!
