ANDY MURRAY is the red-hot 15-8 favourite at Betfair and Paddy Power to win the Aegon Championships which start today at Queen's Club.
French Open winner Stan Wawrinka is a 10-1 shot at Sportingbet, Rafa Nadal starts at 7-1 at William Hill and many will be watching to see if he is likely to be a contender at Wimbledon which is just a fortnight away.
“Murray mania is starting and the vast majority expect him to clean up at Queen’s,” said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.
Britain's James Ward is in first-round action today and faces a tough task against Milos Raonic, with Ward 4-1 at Sportingbet to shock the 2-9 favourite.
There's also matches from Halle and Birmingham as the countdown to Wimbeldon gathers pace.
The Snooker World Cup gets under way in China, who are the defending champs, and all the UK nations are in opening-day action.
There's also rugby, cricket and Stateside sport if you fancy a punt so let's hear your sporting tips and thoughts.
Aegon Championship (William Hill prices): 13-8 Murray, 5-1 Wawrinka, 8-1 Raonic, 8-1 Nadal, 12-1 Dimitrov, 12-1 Cilic, 16-1 Isner, 20-1 Kyrgios, 25-1 Querrey, 33-1 Lopez, 40-1 Gasquet

Cleveland Cavaliers now 10/1 to win the series. That’s double the price of the odds I posted and bet taken in February on the Warriors.
I know some of you got on so if you haven’t covered and you want to cover stakes its there boys.
We’re one game away!
@Jordan, expecting the GSW bet to win the series to come in now with 2 chances for them. If it comes in the family will have an upgraded holiday this summer :D
I can’t see the Cavs and LeBron play better than they did last night. The game was awesome. Curry finally got a good game and I think the Warriors still some margin to play even better.
Gonna have a small cover just for the sake of it. But to me it was all about last night game for both teams and it went in favor of the Warriors.
While I’ve got a quick 5 mins…
… Toronto are at the Mets tonight. The Blue Jays have (imho) THE best hitting lineup in MLB AND they are on fire at the moment. Buehrle is on the mound for them and is a crafty, under-rated leftie who should keep things tight on the pitching side.
The Mets are the Mets, scraping along with rookies and over-performing veterans and getting slowly clawed back by the improving Nationals in the NL East. Their pitcher tonight, Syndergaard is highly-touted rookie who is not living up to his billing (yet).
Bottom line –
*The lines for this are dropping drastically, Toronto were well above evens when I checked last night but the ML is now @1.90.
*Look at over 7.5 total runs at over evens.
*Toronto team hits (o7.5) and team runs (o3.5) both at just below evens.
Good luck with whatever you play.
Tip for you. Niculescu to beat konjuh at evens. Starts at 11. Very confident here and great odds so going with medium 500 stake. Get on now.
Magic
Am on it hopefully get a wee turn early doors!
Yes minty we’ll be loaded by lunch!!!
@magic malcom – think its worth betting on 2-0 @ 1.90??
missed the start of the game
Definitely Andy. Watching it now Niculescu cleaning up. Getting on 2 nil as well
Also on Niculescu 2nd set Race to 2/3/4 games

Federer 2-0
Double 1.35/1 3points
The ashes are nearly upon us and I’m excited. I tipped and posted a very big stake on the aussies to win the series at evens around 5 months ago and they’re now 2/5. I’m not sure how much the price will change between now and kick off in a few weeks time but I still feel the 2/5 is worth taking as I’m as confident as possible on the aussies to win the series and quite comfortably too. I’ve also posted on here some correct score tips not too long ago on 3-0 4-0 and 5-0. Anyone still fancying a comfortable Australian win that has missed the better value prices, I’d strongly recommend taking Australia -1.5 handicap at 8/11. I’ll hopefully get a chance to do a couple of write ups covering my thoughts on the different bets I’ve posted. Haven’t got time to explain these ones today but I’ll explain my reasoning on here at some point soon, just wanted to get these up before the prices drop
The Ashes
Top Australian batsman
Steve Smith 11/4 bet365
Top Australian bowler
Josh Hazelwood 9/2 stanjames
Forgot to add down the bottom the double pays 20/1 and I’ve got half a point on that too
HARRY-hate cricket infact i hate summer sport…except tennis!
Anyway i trust your judgement and have gone your tips but one question
1.5 ah ? Does it mean aussies need to win by two tests? Thanks in advance
Australia at 2/5, poor bet in my opinion harry. Confident england can win it and at 7/2 there is value.
Ashes tips
England 7/2
Correct score 2-2 9/1 (cover)
Top england batsmen – root 3/1
Top england bowler – anderson 9/4
DK I actually tipped them at evens if you can read. If you wanna offer me 1/2 mate I’ll give you that 7/2 all day long no max stake. What I’m saying is I still think they’re worth backing at 2/5 because they will DEFINITELY win this series. Are you one of those deluded England fans that thought they’d do well in the world cup too? I’m not investing any more on them as I’ve got two huge stakes on them to win it at evens and them to retain it at 1/2. Why not back England double chance rather than back them to win it and then back them to draw it out of interest? And can you tell me one department England are superior to Australia in?
CC yes mate it means they’ve got to win by 2 clear tests which should be pretty straight forward. It’s 8/11 for -1.5 and personally I fancy the correct score to be 4-0 however rain can often cause problems in our home series’ and aussies to win the series at 2/5 may be a smarter investment. £100 stake makes £40 profit which is not a bad investment for a 4 week period
Cheers harry

I’m not sure magic malcolm is DK as he was thanking me for tips a couple of days ago! If he is then he’s bipolar
If England win the series I vow to never bet on or tip cricket again, you have my word!

odds :Evens @b365
I haven’t looked at this week’s tennis closely, but at a glance I fancy the winner of Kyrgios v Wawrinka to do well. Stan is 10/1 and Kyrgios 40/1.
Jordan how can a tip of 11/1 be justified? sorry i have not clue but it seems a bit fantasy is it really a good shout?
Hewitt is proving as tough as ever proper aussie battler
cashed out
Offaly to beat Waterford Gaelic football at the weekend 1.53 on bet365 not great odds but should be easy money
Should cover at least a -4 handicap when it comes on market in the next few days
Aceface Jordan’s post is a cover bet not a tip.
Sorry AceFace, Dazzler is correct. Sorry but I thought if you were trawling through the page, you might have seen that from my post at the top. Cover for a bet I posted back in February mate.
