BRITISH No.1 Johanna Konta has a tough task at the Eastbourne Open tennis today when she takes on two-time Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova.
Konta overcame Lesia Tsurenko to set up a second career meeting with the Czech who won their previous clash in straight sets at last year's US Open.
Konta is a 2-1 shot at Sportingbet for the win and 7-10 at bwin to take a set while Kvitova – second favourite for the title at 9-2 with Betfair – is 7-15 at Unibet to see off the Brit.
The rest of the Eastbourne action features the likes of title favourite Agnieszka Radwanska versus Genie Bouchard while at the men's Nottingham Open, British No.4 Dan Evans faces second seed Pablo Cuevas.
There's a rugby league showpiece Down Under this morning as Queensland look to clinch State of Origin glory in New South Wales after winning the opener on home soil.

The NFL season is still months away so this is very premature, but I think its a decent price. It has nothing to do with the fact I support the Packers, but the fact the North went down to the final game last season, and that was with a fat Eddie Lacy, Clay Matthews not playing his preferred Outside Linebacker role, and no passing game to speak of with Jordy Nelson missing the whole season. This year will be different. Eddie Lacy looking lighter, Jared Cook being signed for a big athletic Tight End who can stretch the field (something the Packers haven’t had since Jermichael Finley) and the return of Jordy Nelson. The Packers also have one of the easiest schedules on paper this year. There are other factors of course, and those will come in due time, but this price won’t get better unless the Packers get hit with the injury bug, again. Happy to make this an ante-post NAP.
Green Bay Packers – NFC North Winners @ 8/11 @ Betfair – 11 points
