WITH less than three weeks till the French Open, Stan Wawrinka is aiming to find his rhythm on clay ahead of his title defence.

The world No.4 – who stunned Novak Djokovic in the Roland Garros final last year – hasn't made it past the quarters in the first two clay-court events of the season and today begins his glory bid at the Rome Open.

Wawrinka faces a player he's already lost to this year, Benoit Paire, although he leads the head-to-head 6-2 and is 2-7 at Coral for victory.

Paire, who is 21st in the world rankings, is 10-3 underdog at BetVictor and 6-5 at Paddy Power to take a set.

Top-10 seeds Kei Nishikori and Tomas Berdych are also in second-round Rome action today while British No.1 Johanna Konta takes on Johanna Larsson in the women's singles.

In the NBA there's one play-off semi-final encounter tonight with San Antonio Spurs taking on Oklahoma City Thunder while there's a busy card of MLB matches.

There's also the likes of Giro D'Italia cycling and IPL cricket worth a flutter so let's hear all your sporting tips and chat.

    Sonny Colbrelli to win each-way @ 13.00 with Betway – 3 points

    A stage which should be too hard for the real sprinters. I think there will be some teams who want to drop the fast men.
    I think we will see Colbrelli holding on and he should be one of the fastest of a smaller peloton.

      Nice winner again, not surprised your sticking with Blue Jays again tonight. Happ pitching well this year for Jays against a mediocre Cain of Giants.

    • dazzler 10 years ago

      Cheers Dazid. You had a nice winner last night.

      I’m surprised that I got the odds I did tonight, thought they would be more around 1.5 to 1.6 with how poor Cain has been.

    • laskillful 10 years ago

      why are d same teams playing each other again ? @dazzler

    • dazzler 10 years ago

      Each team plays 162 games in about 180 days.

      They play a series of games, with usually at least 3 games.

      It’s because they play nearly every day and because of the distances between the stadiums. For instance just to fly from Toronto to San Francisco is nearly 5 hours. So they wouldn’t fit all the games in if they had to travel to a different stadium everyday.

    Great finish for him. An uphill sprint which suits him very well, can’t see bookies favourite Kittel finishing with the best here.
