ANDY MURRAY was given a decent workout by Radek Stepanek in his Madrid Masters opener before progressing in three sets.
Today it's the turn of world No.1 Novak Djokovic who's looking to re-establish his air of invincibility after his last outing resulted in defeat to journeyman Jiri Vesely.
Djokovic takes on Croat teenager Borna Coric and is 8-11 at William Hill to win with a -5.5 game handicap.
Grudge match of the day could well be Stan Wawrinka's battle with rising star Nick Kyrgios, with the pair having had a bust-up last year after the Australian sledged Stan about his girlfriend.
The sole NBA game of the night sees Cleveland Cavs in semi-final play-off action against Atlanta Hawks and there's also the likes of cricket and baseball worth a punt.
Good luck with your bets and let's hear your sporting tips and chat.

Cycling: Giro d’Italia 2016
First grand tour of the season starts on Friday in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. After 3 days of racing in my home country the peloton travel to the south of Italy to continue their tour which finishes on 29th of May in Turin. I will try to have bets on every stage and I will try to post in the morning before the stage. Below you will find my pre-race bets for the whole tour, so we will know if they win at the end of May.
Match-ups general classification:
Geniez to beat Monfort
Zakarin to beat Dumoulin
Double @ 2.03 with 888sport – 15 points
I think Geniez will be top 10 at the end of the race. He has a very good time trial and can hold on in the mountains. He was 9th last year and 13th the year before, so he likes the Italian race. Not so sure Monfort can do the same.
Zakarin is a podium contender for me, he is on top form. Dumoulin has focused on the time trials as he want to win the Olympic race later this year. Can’t see him holding on in the mountains.
King of the mountains classification:
Brambilla each-way @ 67.00 with Betfair – 2 points
Last year I posted a 67.00 winner with Visconti winning the jersey. This classification is very difficult to predict and most of the riders will make it a goal after they get some points along the way. I can see Brambilla trying to get in break-aways in the mountain stages, he has know leader to work for, so he could get involved in the mountain jersey race.
I think I will have some more pre-race bets, more markets are going up now.
Cycling: Giro d’Italia 2016
I already mentioned Zakarin as a podium contender. Bwin has him @ 1.72 to finish in the top 10 of the general classification. Can’t let that one go.
Zakarin for a top 10 finish @ 1.72 with Bwin
