THERE were high-profile casualties at the Italian Open yesterday with Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka both crashing out.
Now it's on to the quarter-finals and title favourite Novak Djokovic renews his rivalry with Rafa Nadal in the pick of the ties.
World No.1 Djokovic has won 10 of the last 11 meetings and is 4-11 at Skybet with Nadal the 9-4 outsider at bet365 and 17-20 at Betway to win a set.
Federer's conqueror Dominic Thiem tackles Kei Nishikori, Andy Murray takes on David Goffin and Juan Moncao looks to follow up his victory over Wawrinka by dumping Lucas Pouille.
In the NBA play-offs, Toronto Raptors look to join Cleveland Cavs in the East Final when they travel to Miami Heat in game six tonight.
Elsewhere there's Giro d'Italia cycling and rugby union's European Challenge Cup Final between Harlequins and Montpellier.
Good luck with your bets and let's hear your sporting tips and chat.

St Helens and Wigan to win tonight double 11/10 general 2pts gl all?
With Deng questionable and all the pressure on Miami at home to try and claw it back i see this being another tight one. Could make a case for Toronto to win it outright, hard to rely on DeRozan and Lowry but they played their best games of the series in game 5 and i’ll take Toronto on the handicap tonight.
Toronto +4.5 10/11
Like it.

@david316, does Money line include extra innings or just two way odds?
It does mate, unless your bookie says not including OT on the money line bit
