ANDY MURRAY landed a big pre-US Open boost as he superbly ended his eight-match losing streak against Novak Djokovic to win the Rogers Cup in Montreal.
The Scot triumphed in three sets and and is now as low as 11-4 at Skybet for glory in the season's final Grand Slam although he's still available at 9-2 with Bet Bright and bwin.
Title favourite Djokovic is 5-4 at Paddy Power and in the women's US Open betting Belinda Bencic is just 16-1 for glory at Sportingbet following her Rogers Cup win after being available at 100 a couple of days ago.
There's more Masters tennis this week in Cincinnati and today's action features the likes of Gilles Simon v Ivo Karlovic and Viktor Troicki against Mardy Fish.
Elsewhere it's a busy day of One-Day Cup cricket action and there's the usual helping of Major League Baseball. Let's hear your tips and thoughts and good luck with your bets.
Today’s upset shots:
Fish d Troicki11/2 b (B fair)
Shedova d Muguruza @ 4/1 (b fair)
too hungover for much reasoning. But I think these odds are generous. Mug v rusty last match and if she hasn’t polished her game sufficiently between now and then Shedova has a game to beat her.
Fish has benefit of playing a slightly out of form troicki and if he can find a relatively high level, despite the small amount of tennis he’s played, he can beat the Serb. He’s got a lot of love for this tournament, and the fans will be right behind the crowd fave as he makes his way down the home stretch of his career
Tonight’s mlb
Padres o7.5 hits @ 1.68
Red Sox ml @ 2.2
Indians started Salazar is in form but so is the Red Sox offense. Indians offense has scored 8 runs in their last 3 road games, Red Sox have scored 45 runs in their last 3 home games,so I think this is has a decent shot and is a good price. Red Sox starter is a concern but I think it’s worth the gamble.
Really hard to pick today, so approach with caution.

3.03/1 @coral (inshop)
easiest 11/2 ive seen in a while congrats ad
Troicki has been terrible. Good call though
Have they seriously switched the Cordenons challenger (which is a clay court tournament) to indoor hard?! What the actual hell is this lol. They were playing on clay earlier today.
Cheers! Just seen the score. More comfortable than I could’ve guessed! Troicki is in.a bad place right now
Had a £5 double on –
Swindon +8
Leicester +6
Returns £18.81
Speedway Elite League. Starts in 10 mins.
Wolves at home to Leicester are so unpredictable with riders out of form.
Belle Vue at home to Swindon – massive meeting in which both clubs are riding for playoff place. Swindon have the best rider in the world in Darcy Ward.
Let’s see how the bet goes. Chucked a fiver on , nothing silly.
