THE second Grand Slam of the tennis season takes centre stage today as the French Open gets under way in Paris.

Top two seeds Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray are both going for their first French crown and lead the way in the betting with the Serb 10-11 at Betfair and the Scot 22-5 at Boylesports.

Roger Federer is a notable absentee after withdrawing with a back injury – the first Grand Slam he has missed this century – while king of clay Rafa Nadal is 11-2 at BetVictor to land his 10th Roland Garros title and defending champ Stan Wawrinka is a 14-1 chance at StanJames.

In the women's draw it's again a question of whether anyone can stop Serena Williams, the reigning champ and 5-2 title favourite at Skybet.

Two-times winner Maria Sharapova misses out due to her doping ban and Serena's main contenders include Simona Halep (61-10, marathonbet) and Victoria Azarenka (15-2, Betfair) while British No.1 Johanna Konta is 100-1 at the likes of Sportingbet and Coral.

Elsewhere today there's the likes of Test cricket and rugby league worth a flutter so post your sporting tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.

    Quiet this thread these days, it used to be a really popular thread with loads of good tips from good tipsters, shame to see it dying a death, where is Ad with his tennis tips

    • dazid316 8 years ago

      Ad never came back when the site change happened

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      True that. Lost a few of the old heads with the upgraded site. Myself one of em but i do check in now and then still.
      Ad was probably the best tennis tipster consistently, miss his tips.

    Where is @dazzler with his MLB tips?

  7. maxxx 8 years ago

    There is loads of em like Huggy, DeAndre and loads more. The other sports thread used to have 100+ comments with tips, guys helping each other out, but just 8 comments and 3 tips, as I said its a shame that a once great thread is dying a death.

    • jambo973 8 years ago

      i think it might be because the NBA seasons are wrapping up and the finals are nearly here. True though not a lot of tennis guys here anymore. JohnB was doing great with his tennis tips not too long ago.

  8. maxxx 8 years ago

    NBA and NFL were always popular but even last season looking back not a lot of tips on the other sports thread like there used to be, just a certain someone giving us his running commentary during the night. Rugby, Tennis, Darts even NHL and Cycling not being put up anymore.

    Definitely getting very nervous about my GSW bets now. Was hoping they would get to the final and win game 1 to give good cover but they need a big performance at OKC in game 4

    • jambo973 8 years ago

      I believe that they will get to the finals. I don’t think that any team can beat them over 7 games(if necessary) but OKC is not gonna give them an easy time of it.

    Anyone know why no new threads are being created?

    • jambo973 8 years ago

      its the admin team that are dealing with the new threads. they said they’d try and get new ones up when possible so right now looks like were using the old one.

  30. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    FRENCH OPEN:

    – Baker +4.5 vs Tomic @ $2.00

    – Nadal/ Groth OVER 25.5 games @ $2.10

    – Almagro WIN vs Kohlschriber @ $2.78

    MULTI @ $21.36/
    – Baker, Delbonis, Fabbiano all WIN

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      ^^^CORRECTION: with Nadal/Groth, a better option is Groth +11.5 @ $1.80.
      This will finish 3-0 to Nadal so with 11.5 games handicap Groth only needs to win 7 games in total, meaning it will win with 25 total games whereas it needs 26 games to win when taking the overs.

  31. attiladathrilla 8 years ago

    Baker with 5 break points on Tomic in the 1st set, & only 1 against, yet Tomic took that one chance.
    Tomic is ripe for the picking (he’s admitted he hates clay & just wants to get onto the grass) so hoping Baker can find some of his talent from his heyday when he used to beat the likes of Monfils & Dimitrov on clay.

    • attiladathrilla 8 years ago

      More breal points against Tomic but couldnt take em. Baker has been injured for too long (out since 2012, was hoping he’d be a bit more match fit). Slim hopes of him winning or even covering now at 2 sets down…

  32. humble tipper 8 years ago

    Having a small stakes punt on millman in play 2/1, currently 1 set all.

  38. nick 8 years ago

    I like the look of Andre Iguodala o14.5 PRA tonight @bet365, rumours that he could be starting tonight. Shouldn’t really matter though as he’s been getting the job done off of the bench the last 3 games.

      Cheers dazzler! What do u think about the Red Sox ML tonight?

    • dazzler 8 years ago

      Red Sox should win tonight with the way they’ve been batting.

      The only red flag for me is that in Bettis last outing he held the Cardinals to 1 run and 5 hits over 6.2 innings.

      I only place 1 mlb bet a day though so won’t be on it myself.

    • matthew 8 years ago

      Ok thanks. Was having doubts with the Rockies managing to play better away from home this season, however they are playing the Red Sox so I think I’ll have a small dabble on them tonight as part of a double. Thanks for the help

    Treble pays 12.44/1 william hill

    • Johnb 8 years ago

      Sousa is the NAP
      Mladenovic is the NB

  48. tungsten 8 years ago

    French open

    Same as Johbs nap for me.

    Sousa 4/5

    Taken this bet with sky because they only void bets if there is a retirement in the first set. Gulbis was seen to be struggling with a leg injury in his first round match and therefore may end up retiring later on in the match.

  49. tungsten 8 years ago

    Dubai darts

    Outright:

    On the verge of my biggest loss tonight. My own team could end up robbing me of 60 points, and I’m talking about OKC, not the Warriors haha

    • juan 8 years ago

      Think GSW will cover 7.5 tonight and take it to Game 6?

    • jacksonator 8 years ago

      Only chance now is if they have a big game tonight get some confidence to win game 6 on the road. Problem is they have been destroyed on their road games so far so can’t see much hope there!
