JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO got Mr Fixit's Tips off to a dream start at the ATP1000 event at Indian Wells in California with a cracking 4-1 Bonkers Bet!
The big-hitting Argentine fought back from a set down against Croatian Ivan Ljubicic to advance 2-1.
My pre-tournament tip and world No.1 Rafael Nadal began his BNP Paribas Open campaign in style, giving up just two games in a 6-0 6-2 win over Rik de Voest.
World No.143 Donald Young provided the shock of the day when he dumped British world No.5 Andy Murray in straight sets. Surely no one would have seen that coming but if you backed the American at 11-1 we want to hear from you.
Today world No.2 Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic (No.3) begin their title bids and neither should have too many problems reaching the third round.
Swiss legend Fed (1-25, William Hill) tackles Russian Igor Andreev whom he leads 3-0 in previous meetings. I wouldn't advise backing the world No.96 (12-1, Bodog, Blue Square, Stan James, 888sport) to produce a shock.
Djokovic and Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev meet for the first time and the Australian Open champion should win in straight sets. The Serb is 1-14 (Boylesports, Stan James) – world No.39 Golubev 10-1 at Bet365 and Sportingbet.
Elsewhere, Canadian wildcard Milos Raonic (4-6, Skybet, Stan James) meets No.14 seed Mardy Fish (13-10, Boylesports) in round two.
Raonic, 20, has enjoyed a stunning start to 2011 and beat his American opponent in their only meeting last month in Memphis. He triumphed 2-1 then and I fancy him to do so again at Indian Wells.
Bonkers Bet
Milos Raonic 2-1
(3-1, Boylesports, Skybet)
