KYLE EDMUND is through to the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time and hoping to keep his run going when he takes on home favourite John Isner at the US Open today.
The British No.2 crashed in straight sets to the big-serving American beanpole at this year's French Open – their only previous meeting – but will hope to run him closer this time and is 23-10 at William Hill to eliminate the 20th seed and 5-11 at bwin to take a set.
The day's other matches see top seed Novak Djokovic take on Mikhail Youzhny and and Rafa Nadal face Andrey Kuznetsov while British women's No.1 Johanna Konta faces a tricky tie against 24th seed Belinda Bencic.
Away from Flushing Meadows there's Tour of Spain cycling and the start of rugby's Pro12 and Aviva Premership among the sporting highlights so as usual post your tips and chat here.

I’ve had a fair amount of success recently betting on rugby matches – especially international fixtures. Would there be any interest in me posting those bets or are you guys not really into rugby enough to be interested? Rugby is generally slightly more unpredictable than football, but equally for the bookies and so great odds can be found if you look hard enough.
Feel free to post the rugby tips – there will be interest and other people have put them up in the past.
I into rugby like bet
No time for write-up as at work but my first bet is
Over 40 total points in Sydney Stars v Perth Spirit KO 9:30am @1.53
GL
Lost by 2 points – bit light on points in the 1st half killed it.
Let me know what any1 thinks. Put 100£ on this tip. S.williams to win 5/4 with Djok and Murray to make the final 5/4. Returns 500£
I don’t fancy Williams or Djokovic, both have injury worries and Djokovic is starting to show a lack of confidence,
I think Djokovic would be lucky to win his next match
Completely agree, both had huge knocks in confidence recently. Murray to win and only dropping a couple of sets along the way would be my bet
5-4 novac to make final.
He was 4-5 to win tourney 2 weeks ago.
no, 5/4 for Murray and Djok to make the final together. I think djok is like 4/7 to make the final and 6/4 to win it

Following last night’s embarrassing result for wigan we have tge 2 challenge cup finalists in action at the weekend both of whom will probably lose. Hull have been celebrating all week and rightly so whilst warrington have been licking their wounds literally with a host of first teamers out. They face St Helens and catalans respectively both of whom are battling it out for 4th. Am taking a home,win double on alternative handicap
St Helens to win -10
Catalans to win -4 double pays 6/4
Going with Cilic 1/3, Isner 2/5, Cibulkova 3/10, Wozniacki 2/5 and Bautista 2/9 all to win. 3.15/1. Johnb do you like this ? and other tipsters ?
I never like going for that many in an accumulator as one always lets the bet down, on paper they should all win but I would worry about Bautista-Agut & Cilic the most
