ANDY MURRAY plays his first match since losing the Australian Open Final when he takes on Nicolas Mahut in Rotterdam today.

The Scot, who had to ditch the doubles yesterday when playing partner Gilles Muller withdrew ill, is just 1-10 at SportingBet for victory over the world No.109 and 1-3 to progress in straight sets.

Murray is 9-4 title favourite with Paddy Power and followed by Stan Wawrinka – a 9-2 shot at Boylesports – who begins his campaign today against Jesse Huta Galung.

Home fans will be hoping Dutchman Robin Haase can defy his odds of 13-8 at SportingBet and send Andreas Seppi – 8-15 at Skybet – packing. And Gael Monfils looks to build on yesterday's win over Edouard Roger-Vasselin when he tackles Roberto Bautista Agut in round two.

Other sporting highlights today include stage four of cycling's Tour of Qatar and a packed card in the NBA.

Post your tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.

    Dimitrov v Muller

    Over 22.5 games @ 1/1

    Dimitrov ropey in his opener, Muller a monster behind serve recently and in the best form of his career over the past few months. At least two tight sets isn’t too much to ask for. We could see three.

    Huggy
    I know your not putting up the SS etc anymore, but you are putting up some suggestions.
    If you could just post a bit earlier am happy to get on board with your thoughts for the day, i keep missing you due to time difference.
    Not expecting too much so no pressure, just your thoughts keeps me away from football !
    Ive dumped out almost 400 pounds on the football since youve stopped the SS.
    So im happy to be a guinea pig with your suggestions – cant be any worse than the football is to me !!

    Ad you have a new follower in the tennis! I will follow your tips also, got a sickner on the footaball so need to take a rest from it.

    Cheers Brian

  9. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Gonzalez/Monaco to beat Souza/Sa. 6/11
    Paire to beat bozoljac. 1/2

    I took bozoljac to win his last match he won in straight sets but his opponent was poor in the rally’s and still managed many break points. I think that Paire has enough class to capitalize on bozoljac’s service games.

    Double pays 13/10

  10. Ad 9 years ago

    Brave to take Paire Brian, it will be a strange day the day I next back him!

  11. Ad 9 years ago

    I’ve not currently tipped or backed anythingg today other than a speculative effort on Lucic Baroni to beat Pliskovav @ 10/3 (12:30) and over 22.5 games in Dimitrov v Muller @ 1/1. Should have more tips over the next day or two when I’ve had a chance to watch a bit more tennis.

  12. Ad 9 years ago

    12:20 in fact, it’s been shifted forward 10 minutes.

  13. Ad 9 years ago

    Well a good start to that upset then! gambled on Baroni being match sharp enough to capitalise on a potentially rusty Pliskova but she looks far from that so far. 3 double faults in her first two service games…

  14. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    That bets more to do with bozoljac really. He was very dodgy

  15. Ad 9 years ago

    Fair enough, I didn’t see him. I can’t take Benoit Paire @ 1/2 though, I just cant!

  16. Jordan 9 years ago

    heonix/Houston over 205.5
    Denver/Lakers over 192.5
    Memphis ML

    @ 10/11 @ WillHill **WIN**

  17. Jordan 9 years ago

    Matty, Oriaz. No problem.

  18. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Fair enough. Whats your thoughts on schwartzman. Odds have dropped significantly since opening

  21. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    I’m gonna take a punt on Souza to beat Klizan. This man is rarely beaten well. He’s the home player and has an unusual style of play. Also gambling on Klizan not being quite at his best yet. He had a good win last week before being beaten comfortably and I’m hoping the same thing happens again. Currently 2/1 which seems good value to me.

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Klizan was pretty awesome closing out his win over Bellucci, but he played some loose stuff before that too. If he can hit the level he did to comeback against Bellucci he will win for sure, but whether he will or not is the question.

  22. Jordan 9 years ago

    Make the most of tonights NBA gents. Only one game tomorrow and that’s it till Monday morning. Will have something up later.

  23. Mac 9 years ago

    On Baroni when set and break down only few pounds but at 34/1!! So hopefully she can change things around. Thanks Ad

  24. Ad 9 years ago

    Damn. Baroni played her way back Into it and it was anyone’s match once it got to the tiebreak. She paid the price for a slow start to the first set and a couple of loose points in the breaker. 6-4 7-6 to Pliskova. Gave me a run for my money at least.

  25. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Rubbish odds but Murray under 12.5 games i am on it..should win both sets 6-4 6-4 or better.

    8/11 bet365

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Wouldn’t count on it!

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Easy win, well done lettuce. Murray is pretty much the worst matchup for Mahut there could ever be. What were the odds on 2-0 do you know?

    • Mr Fixit 9 years ago

      Ad, Scott quoted 1-3 Murray to win 2-0.

    • Ad 9 years ago

      ah so he did, cheers Mr F

  26. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Well done last night Jordan.

    NBA Tonights Trebble.

    Cavs ht/ft
    Mavericks ht/ft
    Wizards +12.5

    2.6/1 bet365…i think this has very good chance..i am on it.

  27. Ad 9 years ago

    Tricky day to find really tempting picks in.

    Going for a 4-way overs bet to try and score big for small stakes:

    Dimitrov Muller over 22.5
    Monfils Bautista Agut over 22.5
    Krajicek v Karlovic over 22.5
    Giorgi v Suarez Navarro over 21.5

    pays around 13/1

    back with some tips for the next day or two of matches later

  28. Ad 9 years ago

    re Schwartzman v Fognini – Fog has lost 13 of his last 14 matches I think…..so yeah, Schwartzman has to have a decent chance! I meant to tip him as soon as the odds came out but I got distracted and missed the boat in the end. 5/4 a bit short to tip as it’s hard to know whether a newly motivated and confident Fabio turns up after his grand slam doubles title. One to follow in play for sure. If Fog goes ahead and the signs are there I’ll be all over Schwartzman

  29. Jordan 9 years ago

    Cheers wet lettuce.

    Portland Trail Blazers -5.5
    Atlanta Hawks -2.5

    £10 Fun Bet. Above picks and add;

    OKC Thunder ML
    Timberwolves/Warriors over 207.5
    Wizards/Raptors over 191.5
    Clippers/Rockets over 205

  31. Jordan 9 years ago

    Could wait to add the Bucks on the ML to that Fun Bet but I’m not fussed. Think that’s reasonable for a tenner.

  32. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Ad not very good lol think it was 2/9.

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Ah fair enough, wouldn’t have gone for that, not after Murray’s meltdown in the Aus final. I’m never normally brave enough to take the favourite under 12.5 games. One early break is all it takes before you find yourself at 5-5. Still, it was a good call for this match, Murray should win every game the way they matchup and the way he’s playing

  33. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Cheers Ad to be honest i thought Mahut was serving strong in the opening set..but Murrays power broke him in the end.

    Your tips are some of the best on the site well done.

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Thanks mate. Pretty pissed off as I took Murray 6-0 and he fluffed it!

  34. Ad 9 years ago

    Monfils v Bautista has gone over 22.5. One down, three to go!

  35. Ad 9 years ago

    Thursday Tennis:

    Schiavone v Kerber

    over 20.5 games : 20/23

    Schiavone is in good form this week with 4 straight sets wins already. She isn’t at her most comfortable on a fast indoor court, but she isn’t completely at sea either. Kerber is having a mixed bag of a year, and a mixed bag is exactly what I’ve come to expect from her. 7 of her 10 matches in 2015 have gone over 20.5 games, with 6 of those going to three sets. I don’t think she is in the sort of form where she will blow someone like Schiavone away. Likewise, while an upset isn’t impossible, I can’t see Schiavone getting past Kerber without it being a pretty long, tight, affair. Schiavone leads the head to head 2-1, and the one Kerber won, the most recent, went to three sets. All in all I think this is a low mark for what could prove to be a close match. Hopefully close enough to make 21 games anyway!

  36. GruntBunny 9 years ago

    Managed to get selection 3 from 3 last night (-8 Grizzlies winning by 9). Tonight, my selection would be for Clippers at +1.5 (1/2 price). A few reasons, both have key injuries but I reckon the fact that Houston played last night and their key scorer played the majority of their match. Clippers with home advantage too, I reckon they will sneak home. Took the better points spread (standard is Clippers -3.5) because I am overly cautious.

    If Jordan, Huggy or Attila fancy giving me their thoughts on this, I’d be grateful.

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      GruntBunny, one I would not be on tonight because of Griffin being out. Houston have a lot of depth and the Clippers only beat Dallas because they lost Ellis so early in the game. Spread is low as it will obviously be a tight one. Coin flip for me mate.

  37. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    I’ve had two winners of Schiavone this week but i couldn’t tip her for the match due to kerber being a serious step up in class. The overs looks a good bet anyway, best of luck

  38. Ad 9 years ago

    Giorgi I win WTA Antwerp @ 14/1.

    This is pending a second and third set collapse against CSN of course, but of she strings it together she can beat anyone indoors and if she stays focused she can go deep here. Had a great win with her last year cashing out when she made it all the way to the Linz indoor final and she can outhit everyone on her half of the draw here. Never a sure thing with Giorgi, but she’s looking very good right now

    • Ad 9 years ago

      And there’s the second and third set collapse!! Girorgi was always going to win easily and do good things this week or do that! Karlovic match has gone over its game total too now so we are just waiting on Muller Dimitrov for a nice big 4-fold win. Anyone on board?

  39. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Ad do you think beck can beat pliskova

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Yes, I can see it happening. I didn’t get to see Beck’s opening match against Knapp and I wish I had. Pliskova can obviously out hit her on a fast court, but if Beck’s really on her game she could put her under a lot of pressure and make her crack. I’m going to look into that one a bit more before deciding whether to tip it or not.

      Gutted I didn’t back Krajicek, I had a feeling Karlovic was going to slump out sooner or later.

  40. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    I am on Ad..Gl mate.

  41. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Lets hope Dimitrov turns up in 2nd set lol

  42. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    If you guys miss out on that because muller wins comfortably that’s very unlucky. Dimis always well capable of a comeback though so still a good chance

  43. Ad 9 years ago

    Yeh, unlucky indeed, should’ve backed Muller though, talked myself out of it.

  44. huggybear 9 years ago

    toronto -5 , is where my quids going , good luck guys

  45. Ad 9 years ago

    Yeh, unlucky indeed, should’ve backed Muller though, talked myself out of it.

  46. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    My screen said Dimitrov broke for 2-0 then he hadnt..oh well.

  47. Ad 9 years ago

    7-6 Muller is 6/1 and might be worth backing as a sort of cover for the overs 4-fold. It doesn’t look likely he will break Grigor this set.

  48. Ad 9 years ago

    9/2 sorry, don’t know where i got 6/1 from. Dimitrov is putting more pressure on the Muller serve so Im hopeful he can get the break and not make that necessary.

  49. Ad 9 years ago

    An unlikely and disappointing end to the 4-fold, but hopefully people on board managed to cover in whatever way they could. I took 7-6 Muller as suggested above which softened the blow, though didn’t totally make up for it.

  50. Jordan 9 years ago

    Spurs ML
    Hawks ML
    Raptors ML
    Mavericks ML

    @ 31/10 @ WillHill

    Added GSW, Cavs and Portland @ 46/10 @ WillHill

    Ellis is probable for Dallas. This are only small bets. Main bet posted this morning as well as my Fun Bet. Making the most of the last night with only one game tomorrow then it’s a week off.

  51. Abbas 9 years ago

    Ad, unlucky with the 4fold but the cover was more than enough at 6/1 glad u pointed it out, good tipping and alertness mate

  52. Abbas 9 years ago

    De Niro great pick on your race selection today, racing thread looks better than ever

    • De Niro 9 years ago

      Cheers Abbas
      loads of winners today on racing thread – and I cant complain with 1 selection and one winner at such good odds – makes up for zilch on the tennis 2-0 picks so far again today,

      I have done Robredo 2-0 v Amagro at 100/30 off in 15 mins

  53. De Niro 9 years ago

    Ad
    top picking regardless so close to a 13/1 winner
    4 timer,
    anyone could lock in a good profit after 1st 3 landed , by backing the unders accordingly for the last match

    keep it up

  54. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Unlucky Ad i had it as Single..never mind..Mullers serve was even more on fire than normal.

    Next lol

    • Ad 9 years ago

      ah sorry yeah, i forgot i’d tipped and backed it as a single too! pretty unlucky it didn’t win. Dimitrov had a hard earned match point but couldn’t make it count when you’d really back him to.

  55. Lon_don 9 years ago

    how does raptors +2.5, hawks ml, mavericks +3.5 sound

  56. OriaZ 9 years ago

    I’m on your acca Jordan (Spurs ML, Hawks ML, Raptors ML, Mavericks ML, GSW ML, Cavs ML and Portland ML) !

    Also on Huggy’s Toronto Raptors -5 but doubled it with Hawks -2.5 @19/10

  57. Shotty 9 years ago

    Im on a points double tonight may be a bit risky but i like the look of it, over 192.5 in the spurs match and over 184.5 in the majic match pays nearly 2/1

  58. Jordan 9 years ago

    Lon_don your bet looks ok to me mate but we can only hope. Oriaz good luck mate. Completely forgot about the Bucks to add but never mind.

  59. WN 9 years ago

    Hawks -6.5
    Raptors -5

    Double 2.64/1 Also doing ML double at Evens

    And

    Hawks
    Raptors
    Warriors
    Spurs 4-fold
    Mavericks 5-fold

    Similar bets to you boys here, hope its a good night.

  60. Don_Corleone 9 years ago

    I’m new to this site, always research my bets and only post if i am confident so going to put a few of my bets up and see how it goes.I do all my bets with bet365 so will post there odds although you can shop around abit if you like.

    Atlanta Hawks ML @ 10/31
    GS Warriors ML @ 1/5
    Radu Albot To Win Match @ 4/11

    Treble pays a tad Over EVENS

    I could post reasoning behind my tips but i always do my research i can assure you. I prefer to go with low odds at a larger stake as i personally have been pretty succesful with this over the years, some people look for value so each to there own, i also look for value here and there, so here is a TIP i think is worth risking a couple quid.

    Double Result:

    DET Pistons to win 1st half – SA Spurs to Win the game @ 17/4

    Its an offer i cant refuse

    An Alternative Double i have staked on also tonight is:

    ATL hawks ML @ 1/3
    GS Warriors Halftime/Fulltime (double Result)

    Pays @ EVENS

    (Not a fan of -handicapps myself only +Double Digit handicaps i will look at)

    Anyway there is my whole essay for you guys good luck with any bets you are on

  65. Jordan 9 years ago

    Up 14-3 at the moment haha :D

  66. Jordan 9 years ago

    I was worried on taking the smaller spread on the Cavs tonight too!

  77. Don_Corleone 9 years ago

    All 3 of my bets down due to the dopey Atlanta Hawks up by 15 at half and being beat by the celtics. Well I think everyone would agree it’s been one of them nights on the nba tonight were everything either goes one way or other. Unlucky mate tonight better luck tommorow, just on the tennis tonight

    RADU ALBOT to beat JOSE STATHAM @4/11

    Abit short but should hopefully win me back my losses not one for chasing losses at all mind you but I feel confident enough so fingers crossed.
