THE world's top two are both missing through injury at the Miami Open tennis and now Britain's quarter of competitors have all fallen at the first hurdle.
Kyle Edmund, Dan Evans and Heather Watson crashed to qualifiers in the opening round while Aljaz Bedene retired due to injury.
With the world's big two of Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic sitting out, it's Roger Federer who leads the title betting at 14-5 with Netbet followed by 11-2 Rafa Nadal, 13-2 Kei Nishikori and 8-1 Milos Raonic.
Today's second-round matches include Nadal against Dudi Sela, Raonic versus Viktor Troicki and Nishikori taking on big-serving South African Kevin Anderson.
There's also the likes of rugby union and league worth a flutter today so feel free to add your tips and thoughts and Jordan will post his NBA picks below.

Denver Nuggets @ Indiana Pacers
Pacers -1.5 @ 1.90 (Sporting Bet)
Don’t have time for a full write up at the moment.. but who remembers this match up earlier in the season, in London?
Myself and Jordan will remember it well.. as we both fancied the Pacers to win that game.
What wasn’t expected was a 28 point blowout win for the Nuggets, the game ended 140-112..
That loss would have left a sour taste… expect revenge tonight.
Good luck all.
There’s also an interesting trend emerging over the Pacers last 9 games…

Sweet 16 action continues tonight in the college basketball and there’s a few cracking games.
Two teams i like the look of are UCLA and Wisconsin. Don’t really have time for much of a write up, i took Wisconsin a while ago at bigger prices so if you feel like backing them i would suggest to get on now.
