ANDY MURRAY is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final and now finds David Ferrer blocking his path.
The British No.1 has beaten the Spaniard three times on the spin and leads the head-to-head 10-6 in advance of today's showdown.
The Scot – given a stern test by Richard Gasquet in yesterday's quarter-final – is 4-7 at Marathonbet to win and 11-10 at Unibet to get the job done in two sets.
Ferrer is 12-5 at William Hill and over 2.5 sets pays 6-4 at Skybet.
In the other semi-final it's a repeat of the French Open Final as Novak Djokovic takes on Stan Wawrinka, who eliminated Rafa Nadal in straight sets last night.
Elsewhere on a packed Saturday of sport there's NBA action, ODI cricket, Pro12 and Premiership rugby union and Players Tour Championship among the highlights.
Good luck with your bets and as usual post your sporting tips and chat here.

Orlando Surprise Team So Far?
Bookies might void your Orlando Thunder bet Mr Lettuce!
Amazing comeback by Nuggets. Down by 30 and brought it back to 10. GSW had to bring all their starters back on to make sure they dont lose.
Harden is back in form too, hitting 35 odds points today (rockets may be backable again?)

I am not really a tennis fan but did Andy Murray not look a bit injured yesterday and is David ferrer not going to run him around a lot? Like I said don’t follow tennis but 21/10 on him to win seems big. Also I am a kiwi and the New Zealand rugby league team now that they have been here a bit longer will be ready for today. 13/8 is also massive I feel as with all the hype back home re the union side they will not want to be the bad news so to speak. They need to win today to level the series and how many times do test matches go into a decider? Will see. I have taken both anyway. Just for an interest .

Any bets for the evening session Bullseye?
@ Andy – Murray has been limping around like for that last month or so…I’m no sure what’s up with him. If love to take Ferrer but instead I think I’ll just take the overs again like I did yesterday…if Gasquet could take Murray to 3 sets I think Ferrer can too.
Missed out on my main euro Treble yesterday by a single basket but it was good to see Attila benefit from the tips with some juicy prices, well done!
Hoping my luck will change today….

Evening darts tip:
Huybrechts win 1/3
Klaasen win 4/9
Double 0.92/1
– Both of their opponents have not won on the big stage in a very long time therefore they will feel the pressure a lot more. Huybrechts and klaasen are used to the big stage and also have more quality.
Chris Paul (LA CLippers) Over 18.5 Points @ 5/6 @ PP – 1.2 points
Unlucky last night Huggy! Knicks had a bad 1st quarter and had the chances to get back but never managed to take the lead.
Shotty’s 2nd bet came in and with Jordan’s prob bet it was a break even night. So thx to them.
Can’t see past Bucks -6.5 tonight. Also like Magics -3.5 and Hawks -5.5. Still no tips, just my input.
@Attila, what do you think of these NHL picks (2/3 last night):
– Capitals -1 @ 1.80
– Penguins RL @ 2.25
– Canadians RL @ 2.05
Where is Dazzler btw? I liked his hockey/ MLB picks.
Juan your quite correct it should be voided.
I stated Orlando Thunder +10 when in fact I should of said Orlando Magic lol
American Sports gets me sometimes..after all Lettuces don’t have much of a brain..just leaves and a BIG HEART.
Lettuce 4 fold
All ML
Chicago Bulls
La Clippers
Atlanta Hawks
Orlando Thunder/Magic(Juan)
2.5/1
Chris Pauls total is 17.5 @ 10/11 @ 365 so putting another 1.1 point on that.
Jordan can’t find any player props on 365 where can I find them?
Gary there under player performances. when you click basketball minimise the nba and the menu should be under it for player performances.
Ignore that Jordan found it thanks mate
Thanks Jamie
Chris Paul will not play tonight so bets will be voided. Instead I’m going to go with JJ Redick (Clippers) Over 15 Points @ 5/6 @ PP – 1.2 points
Harden is in red hot form
