THE underdog triumphed in the women's French Open final yesterday and now Andy Murray hopes to follow suit in the men's showpiece.
Garbine Muguruza stunned Serena Williams to land her first Grand Slam title and today it's Murray and Novak Djokovic both vying for their first French Open crown.
Djokovic has dominated the head-to-head in recent years with 12 wins from their last 14 showdowns but Murray is in the form of his life on clay and beat the world No.1 in the Rome Masters final last month while his two Grand Slam final triumphs also came against the Serb.
Murray is the 11-4 outsider at Sportingbet for victory and 4-9 at Ladbrokes to win a set, with Djokovic 4-11 at Coral to take the title.
The darts World Cup comes to an end today and the big three of Holland, Scotland and England are all still in with a shout of glory with the quarter-finals first up this afternoon.
There's also the likes of cricket and rugby worth a flutter so let's hear all your sporting tips and chat and good luck with your bets.

Michael Bisping! Wow! Rockhold was cocky and got what he deserved. Never underestimate anyone. Brock at UFC 200….Nice!
Nearly had a punt on Bisping as well, Rockhold was 1/8 odds on, but I bottled it in the end and stuck it on Dariush instead haha..
Brose – Ulm
– undoubtedly Brose starts as favorite in this final and I expect to win it after 3 matches, and enjoying home advantage. Team with players such as Miller, Strelnieks Melli, Zisis or Wanamaker can win this first match at least 25 points, the experience accumulated this season in Euroleague is significant, won against teams powerful as CSKA Moscow, the owner of the trophy this year, semifinalist Laboral Kutxa, or in front of other teams like Olympiokos and Barcelona, so we should have a crawd training lesson, Ulm had a difficult series with Frankfurt but they somehow managed to won in overtime a game away and have steal qualification in their favor, while in quarters have passed by Oldenburg 3-1 overall, Brose have shattered the Bayern in the semifinals and Wurzburg in quarterfinals, winning all six matches and especially at home in a very clear manner. Last year the two teams met in the semifinals, then Brose win 3-0 on aggregate after they smashed here their oponent by scores of 99:63 and 90:70 .
Bet : Brose – Ulm
– Brose – Ulm – Brose(-17.5) @ 1.88 (NAP) (10/10)
– Brose – Ulm – Brose(-24.5) @ 3.25 (5/10)

@radu Was also looking at this as I think they’ll cover the spread! I also like the overs but have taken the 1st half Spread -9.5 @ 17/20
Good luck?
Cricket – Royal London One Day Cup
Lancashire v Warwickshire
Total Match 6’s – Under 8 – 1.90 (Bet365) 1pt
The stats back this up (unfortunately I’ve just temporarily lost access to my stats to reference).
The concern here would be that Lancs have recruited two serious six hitters this season in Guptill and Buttler but I’ll go with the stats.
Stats also suggest Unders for Worcestershire v Derbyshire but 365 currently not offering the market on that game. Might email them.
Average of 4 sixes per game at Old Trafford over last two seasons in 50 over games (24 in 6).

Likewise mate? A little unlucky with the -24.5 but was always gonna be risky when they had pretty much won by the 3rd.

thoughts on warriors vs cavs tonight? I think the score line was surprising after curry and Thompson hitting a combined 20 points in game 1, showed the depth in the Warriors bench but can that be replicated again tonight. I have the Warriors taking it in a much closer game by single digits

Liking overs for 6’s in the Sussex v Essex game tomorrow. Line set at 12 by 365 which is generally would be considered high, but that’s not the case at Hove IMO. Will post bet and stats breakdown in tomorrow’s thread.
