FRENCH OPEN champ Stan Wawrinka is the latest big-name casualty at Queen's Club after being battered into submission by Kevin Anderson's monster serves.
The second seed's exit – a day after Rafa Nadal was sent packing – has seen title favourite Andy Murray's odds cut to evens at 888sport after he was available at 13-8 with Stan James 24 hours earlier.
Top seed Murray is in second-round business today against Fernando Verdasco. The Scot leads 10-2 in the head-to-head and is 17-40 at Sportingbet to win in straight sets while the Spaniard is 7-1 at bet365 for victory.
Marin Cilic has lost four in a row to Viktor Troicki but has been finding a bit of form lately and will be fancied at 8-15 (Betfair) to beat the Serb who is priced up at 13-8 by Betfred.
There's also action from Halle and Birmingham, where Simona Halep and Angelique Kerber bid to take a step nearer the final.
There's another busy day of matches from the Snooker World Cup in China and other sporting highlights include stage six of cycling's Tour of Switzerland and county cricket.
Good luck with your bets and let's hear your sporting tips and thoughts.

Full house on the cricket yesterday. T20 blast today, usually a tough one to call and should back recent form.
Hampshire 8/13 – 6.5 points.
JJs SS:
Verasco first set vs Murray @ 4/1 with William Hill.
I’ll keep analysis short and sweet as that is all it requires.
This game has upset written all over it. Yes, Murray has an excellent h2h record against the Spaniard, but everything is circumstantial.
Verdaso is not only a good player on the grass but he will be further motivated to knock the home favourite out.
Furthermore, Verdasco typically always comea out firing to grab first sets.
TRUST me, chaps.
-JJ
I see a lot of Cilic inclusion in accas. Just remember that he only just lost to Troicki last week. Slightly higher bounce may suit him though
How about Robredo as a value outsider? Great H2H against Seppi
Dazid… Dude… I see a couple of cardinal sins were broken last night in the baseball betting!!!
1) Thou shalt not bet against Pineda at Yankee Stadium
2) Thou shalt not bet against King Felix… EVER (regardless of last time out)
Just kidding mate, how has the baseball betting been going for you guys?
I have been busy with kids and work but most importantly, paper-trailing some new selection criteria with some success. It is still under scrutiny for now but hopefully will stand up in the long term. I always try to keep an eye out for the regulars if I get a few mins.
Keep up the good work fellas!
Bet of the day is robredo to beat seppi. Getting on this at 6/5 I think really fantastic odds.

Nice to see you Jaseos. It’s been steady to be fair,in profit but not as much as I’d like!
Dustbin Brown loves a grass court and a big name on the other side of the net. 4.5/1 for the upset.im having a small stakes bet on this.
agreed juan, im on robredo, surely he must have an injury or something with those odds?
Tonight’s MLB bets
Pirates @ White Sox
Pirates over 8.5 hits @ 1.9
Samardzija is starting for the White Sox and the Pirates are in good form. I’m foolishly going double stakes on this tonight as Samardzija is yet to let me down this season (famous last words).

oh right, are you related to timmy too m8 ?
Abdul Murray to win 2-0 is 1/4 but Murray under 12.5 games is 5/6, surely Murray will do him 6-3 or 6-4
Abdul? Andy :)
He was some plonker although amusing I must admit. Alas gents I am not the same. However robredo must be backed.

Hit and miss on baseball for me at the min Jaseos, 1 team lets me down on a acca or a run short if doing runs bet.
Robredo set down but can be backed at 3 to 1. I would recommend this bet.

Ok. I will take a break till the tour de france
Dazid – Keep at it mate, MLB is proving to be very difficult this year. I am still convinced that underdogs offer more value in general.
My rule of thumb – DO bet on the Blue-Jays and Royals. AVOID the Phils and Brewers. Both Toronto and KC can give anyone a game on any night and the Phillies and Brewers are terrible and invent ways to lose!
Dazzler – Love that Pittsburgh hits pick. Phil Hughes aside, nobody in baseball is giving up more hits that Samardzija and The Pirates are doing well at the moment with the stick. I’ll be on that myself.

Jaseos-Thanks for the advice, I was tempted by the Texas 5/2 against Dodgers last night but changed my mind. Snap, Blue Jays and Royals is what I have been thinking today as a double.
Afternoon Guys Castleford Tigers v ST Helens
Welcome to the jungle, that is were the SKY cameras are going tonight as the reigning champions take on the Tigers, Saints are the bookies favourites at 4/9 various.
Saints blew Wigan away last week in arguably their best display of the season. Half back Travis Burns kicking game was superb and he gets his partner back Luke Walsh for this one. Cas will have their leading try scorer Justin Carney available and it will be interesting to see if coach Daryl Powell throws him straight back in.
Last week I tipped Cas to cause the upset and stay inside the handicap as I thought it was a game they could actually win and I am advising the same again tonight. The champions have won six out their last seven matches but bar the Wigan game they have been winning without playing at full throttle.
Cas was superb against Leeds and I mentioned if the pack can stand up to the Rhinos then Luke Gale will have a big game, he duly did and won the man of the match at 10/1, it is the same scenario tonight and although it isn’t a market I often play in, for small stakes for big odds reward, Gale could get the nod again this week at 8/1 Hills, while for Saints Travis Burns is 10/1 Skybet.
In the try scorer market Jordan Turner for Saints as scored in his last two games and has 13 tries in 17 games he is 6/5 Skybet and for Castleford I tipped him successfully last week to score and he grabbed a brace and I am going with him again this week and that is Denny Solomona he as 9 tries in 7 games and Saints young wingers don’t have the speed of Solomona and if he gets a gap he will be flying over the line. He is 11/10 Skybet
Saints won the earlier fixture 30-28 and that made it 15 straight wins for the champs over Cas, but all good things must come to an end and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Tigers pulled off a shock tonight. They are getting a 6pt start with the likes of Betfred, Skybet at 1/1 and I am taking that and for them to score O3.5 tries despite Saints having a great defence I think this game will see quite a few tries. It is 4/6 Paddy Power.
CASTLEFORD +6 BEAT ST HELENS 1/1
TURNER TO SCORE 6/5
SOLOMONA TO SCORE 11/10
CASTLEFORD O3.5 TRIES 4/6
Good luck if your having a bet

Hope my luck changes for tonight
Lots of big servers in action tomorrow and lots of matches that have real potential to go over their games total. Isner, Muller, Raonic, Anderson and Karlovic are four of the very best and will be near impossible to break on a grass court if they serve well. Picking the right matchups is the only tricky bit!
Didn’t even mention Janowicz!
All 6 huge servers matches to go over will pay around 30/1 I imagine and could be worth a small interest bet
Result Castleford 25 ST Helens 24
