World No.4 Andy Murray is in French Open second-round action today against Finland's Jarkko Nieminen.

The Scot has won their three previous meetings and is 1-12 with Sportingbet and William Hill. Nieminen is 10-1 with Bet365.

Murray should have few problems maintaining his unbeaten record against the world No.48.

Roland Garros favourite, and my tip for a record seventh title in Paris, Rafael Nadal tackles Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin.

Priced at 1-100 (Blue Square, Bodog, William Hill, Sportingbet, 888sport) Nadal will also advance with ease against a player priced at 40-1 with Paddy Power and Boylesports.

Again, with the big names fancied to ease through, I've had to go elsewhere for value.

Fast-rising Aussie Bernard Tomic is certainly worth a look (5-6 Bodog, William Hill) against Colombian Santiago Giraldo (11-10 Sportingbet).

The pair met for the first a few weeks ago in Rome and 19-year-old Tomic came through in three sets. I expect him to win again but he may have to give up another set to the South American.
