GRIGOR DIMITROV started the tennis season in style by reaching the Australian Open semis and he's looking to carry that form into this week's Rotterdam Open.
The Bulgarian fifth seed is 7-2 title favourite at Boylesports on the back of his impressive Melbourne showing and begins his glory quest today against Mischa Zverev, who KO'd Andy Murray at the Aussie Open.
Skybet make Dimitrov 1-3 to reach round two while Zverev is 11-4 at Ladbrokes and the day's other matches include top seed Marin Cilic against Benoit Paire and Fernando Viktor Troicki versus Richard Gasquet.
There's another busy day of first-round matches from snooker's Welsh Open plus a handful of NBA games, which Jordan will post his tips for below.
Good luck with your bets folks and feel free to add your picks and thoughts.

Well done any winners tonight..
I’m going to say my warriors alternate spread is a bust ?
Heat -9 @ 1.90 – ✖
Wizards -5 @ 1.95 – ✔
The NBA is really tough at the moment, glad to pick out a split night.
Tempted to lay off until after the All Star, unless I see something I really like.

Who would have expected the Nuggets to blow out the Warriors with a huge score?! Long shot was beaten thanks to the Sun’s losing. As Raoul says, NBA is really tough at the minute. Mental note to lay off trebles and get back to doubles!
Well done to any winners!

Well in bud??
Any help or thoughts from the basketball lads
Chicago +4.5
Cleveland +1.5
Double pays 7/4
Both Chicago and Cleveland won last 5 against these teams
Has a chance but games are unpredictable in week leading to all star game at weekend . I don’t think many would trust the Cavs at the min on here, looks like Love is out tonight for Cavs too but think he missed last game against Timberwolves. Bulls have Wade, Mirotic out and Butler is game time decision and Raptors have been shaky in last few games
Take h2h’s with a pinch of salt in the NBA mate, its true that Chicago have owned Toronto over recent years, but that was under Tom Thibodeau (now the Timberwolves coach).
When the 2 met earlier in the season it was a close game, Toronto were up at half time.. but Chicago fought back and forced OT.
This time, Chicago don’t have Wade and Butler is returning from an injury.. how fresh will he be?
If you ask me, its a fairly tough game to call, Toronto have been very inconsistent, but I would lean Raptors -4.5.
As for the Cleveland game, I can’t see anything other than a Cav’s win. They didn’t have Love in the last game and won by 28.
Good luck what ever you take mate.
Thx lads for the response been following the nba all season from a watching brief Taking tips from u guys thx .
Will have a small double on
*Test post* posted a few times but not coming up..?
Ahhhh there it is lol…
My NBA single tonight.:.
Demarcus cousins (kings) over 29.5 points ..5/6 skybet
Broken record I know..but once again I feel the lakers will get bullied in the paint…this season boogie managed 28 points and 31 points against the lakers and if he’s Focus enough tonight he should have another high scoring game…
Good luck lads

A pile of cr*p! Fu made 4 50+ breaks but couldn’t convert any into a century including a frustrating 98 where he took one blue too many, Wilson lost 3 frames in a row from 3-1 up and Williams was just awful.
Week 2-3

NBA Double
Cavs (-8.5)
Raptors (-8.5)
Double @ 7/1, Stan James- 1pt staked.
Good luck!
Nice, like the confidence.
Might have a punt on Raptors -4.5…
Hahaha why not ey..im on board too mate..good luck lads..
Think both are capable of winning big. Love out for Cavs but Livine out for T-Wolves. Think T-Wolves will keep it close till the 3rd but Cavs more than capable of covering this spread.
No Wade or Butler for Chicago and I dont think Raptors have any injury concerns. This this game has come at a good time for the Raptors and I wouldn’t be overly surprised at a convincing Raptors win.
Also like the King’s. Big game from Cousins! Just not sure which Lakers will turn up though!
Speculative but think 1pt is worth the risk at a good value double imo.
Good luck guys
No bet from me tonight lads. Poor card, unpredictable results and the all star weekend on the horizon. I’m sitting tonight out but good luck if you’re having a bet!
I’ve gone over it alot but also deciding to pass tonight.
There is a bet jumping out at me tomorrow.. Warriors revenge over Kings, who are on a b2b.
Good luck everyone tonight.
