THINGS are hotting up as we get to the business end of the French Open and there are some tasty tussles on the Sunday schedule.
Pick of the bunch is 17-times Grand Slam Roger Federer against home hero Gael Monfils in round four. Monfils trails 8-4 in the head-to-head but will take confidence from the fact he's won the last two meetings, both of which were on clay.
To make it three in a row the Frenchman is 5-2 at Boylesports while Fed is 2-5 at bwin. Monfils has been taken to five sets in the last two rounds and 888sport go 10-17 for today's clash to be over 3.5 sets.
Two other players hoping to make home advantage count are Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gilles Simon. Tsonga is 12-5 underdog at Sportingbet against Tomas Berdych (2-5, William Hill) and countryman Simon is 12-5 at BetVictor versus Stan Wawinka, the 1-3 favourite at Skybet.
Serena Williams survived a scare before edging out Victoria Azarenka on Saturday and today's women's action features defending champ Maria Sharapova hoping for smooth progress against Lucie Safarova.
England head into day three of the the second cricket Test against New Zealand on 353-5, 97 runs behind, and favourites to seal victory at evens with bet365 while the Black Caps are 31-10 at Boylesports and the draw 9-4 at Titanbet.
There's also cycling, Moto GP and rugby among today's sporting highlights so post your tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.

It happens Martin mine were rubbish yesterday too, I can see over total games in quite a few of the matches today my main one will be the Monfils v Federer over 38.
Nightowl – thanks for the tip on the Katowice goal conceding ladies … its 0-3 after 20 minutes and they have not even had 1 attack!!

I guess a Federer / Ferrer double at evens is the best of today’s bunch and will be on that. Keeping stakes low though as I’ve got no clue how well anyone’s playing!
Got £2 on Cilic @ 500/1 just in case he’s in Crazy white hot U.S. open mode
And no that’s not a tip, just a stupid bet!
I’m thinking these cooler conditions will suit federer.
Shotty i am with you on that….Gabashvili has being decent so far..much better opponent today but he could nick a set hopefully.
Also placing a small bet on him to win today at 7/1 ..they way he has played so far in Paris you just never know..unlikely as it is.
Looks pretty windy out there so could be interesting!
stella azzurra inplay -1.5 , give it a tenner i think..
My boys Tsonga and Nishi look set to be squaring off in the next round. J’aime Jo!

WIN (more than 40 minutes advantage)
Mr Orange – I had Visconti at 40/1. Only had £5 on it but it’s boosted my account so a big thanks.
The other one I was on was Izagirre.
Nice one Mr. Orange. Too bad I wasn’t on Visconti :(
2 out of 3 today on the treble. Wawrinka just too good at the moment.

Well done Dazzler on your full house sat night, busy yesterday so didn’t get looking up games but just my luck at the min the single and treble i done on friday night would of won on sat night lol
Bgt is going we’ll, the Welsh choir had a weak performance the other guy fudged his lines. Not too late to get on Isaac
A good performance and he’ll come in to 4/1 just today he was 16s still available at 13/2 bet now!
I think Nishikouri will rip Tsonga a new one. Looks a very decent price in the outright given his easy side of the draw.
Congrats @dazzler on the full house
