ANDY MURRAY rose to the occasion at the Tour Finals on Tuesday and lives to fight another day after a two-set victory over Milos Raonic.

The Scot looked much more like his old self while Roger Federer eased to victory over Kei Nishikori. It's Novak Djokovic back in action on Wednesday and the world No.1 faces Stan Wawrinka who dazzled in his opening match and is 6-4 to win a set against the Serb.

The loser of the other Group A clash between Marin Cilic and Tomas Berdych will be eliminated. Berdych leads the head-to-head 5-4 but Cilic has won three of their last four meetings and is priced 3-4 against the 5-4 Czech ace.

In the Grand Slam of Darts the last-16 line-up is complete after the likes of Phil Taylor and James booked their place last night.

Also through are Gary Anderson  – who took just nine minutes to destroy Dutchman Wesley Harms 5-0 – and Peter Wright, who won the battle of the dodgy barnets against Simon Whitlock.

The knockout ties start tonight with four matches, including 9-5 title favourite Michael van Gerwen taking on Terry Jenkins.

There's also plenty of NBA fixtures throughout the night so post your sporting tips and chat here.

  3. Andy 9 years ago

  4. kevka 9 years ago

    Got some profit thanks to the tips from DeAndre and PotLuck
    thanks guys, keep it up ;)

    I put up Cilic as my NAP for today Monday so that’s still the bet. His price has drifted a little which is a slight worry but I still can’t see past Marin here. 2-0 is 2/1 and I’ll be taking that as well.

  6. Iddy 9 years ago

    Ad – reason is that Berdych has won his 2nd match, the last 4 years in a row?
    Although he has list the first one 6 years in a row!!

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Thats an interesting stat but I don’t think it can be considered a factor at all. I’m a bit worried about the drift but I’m well behind Cilic. Could really do with this one coming in as I haven’t some very well so far this week!

    • Ad 9 years ago

      And when I day it’s not a factor, I really mean it’s one I’m choosing to ignore !

  7. kevka 9 years ago

    Small stake on cilic 2-0 and djokovic 2-0 double
    let’s see

  8. Graham 9 years ago

    This is when the darts gets serious tonight! Best of 19 legs first to ten and the players will be in their comfort zone. Looking at the eight matches I’m sure there’s going to be loads of 180’s!

    After watching all of the games so far it is going to take a top performance to stop Phil Taylor winning this especially in this long leg format.

    First game up and It’s Norris V Huybrechts. I take Norris to win here and I think he’s good value at 11/8. Huybrechts for me is over rated by the SKY pundits. He continually misses big doubles at crucial times in games. Norris 10-7.

    Up next is Chisnall and Green. Chisnall is playing really well just now and has been unfortunate that he keeps bumping into MVG in the quarter-finals. That won’t happen in this tournament as he can’t meet MVG till the semi-finals. The market to look at is total 180’s here. High scoring big checkouts 180’s for me. Chisnall 10-8

    MVG and Jenkins have played in two big TV matches already this year and it’s 1 a piece. Van Gerwen has played well his past two and I take him to win this. I like Jenkins +4.5 on the handicap however. MVG 10-7

    Last up It’s Barney and youngster Keegan Brown. In my opinion Keegan Brown and Michael Smith will be contending a few world championship finals in years to come. Brown has gained invaluable experience this week. It will be interesting how this one goes but Barney has looked good since the debacle of the grand prix and I take him to win this comfortably. Barney 10-5

    Recommended Bets:

    Barney -3.5
    Jenkins +4.5

    5/2 Boylesports

    Norris to win
    Green +3.5

    7/2 SkyBet

    Total 180s

    Barney V Brown over 8.5
    MVG V Jenkins over 9.5
    Chisnall V Green over 9.5

    6.5/1 Williamhill

    • ticketyboo 9 years ago

      That’s a great review of the darts matches Graham,I’m sure you have a few winners there. think I will take your William Hill treble. Thanks mate.

  9. scottylfc7 9 years ago

    cilic 4/5 what u guys think ?

  10. scottylfc7 9 years ago

    £20 on straight win :)
    £7.50 on 2-0:P

    good luck all

  11. scottylfc7 9 years ago

    cillic started horribley

  12. kevka 9 years ago

    Aaaand there goes the double
    well it was a risky bet haha

  13. Ad 9 years ago

    Like Raonic yesterday, Cilic is just playing so badly whenever he gets a chance to move ahead. MAKE SECOND SERVE RETURNS

  14. Ad 9 years ago

    Jesus h Christ.
    What is going on at these tour finals?! I give up. Not one competitive or high quality singles match so far. there’s no point trying to predict this rubbish!

  15. Ad 9 years ago

    I’m focussing on doubles from here on out. Not going to tip anything as everything I’ve touched has turned to dust this week. But I’ll be in Peya / Soares and Lopez/Granollers both to win their matches. was impressed by both pairs in the last round

  16. Jordan 9 years ago

    Afternoon gents. I’ve mentioned on the thread a couple times that I’ve came across a US tipping site that emails you with a free pick usually everyday. So far they are 5-1 with the picks they’ve given. Today’s pick is Houston @ Minnesota.

    Houston -6.

    Line already @ -7 but if you look at stats they’ve covered the spread in the last 4 away games, and beat the Heat in Miami by 17 points in their last away game when the spread was only -2.

  17. Jordan 9 years ago

    That is NBA by the way for those that didn’t find it obvious.

  18. watabanker 9 years ago

    Guys can some1 plz tell us were aye can find who threw the most 180s etc in the darts a dont have bet365 and cant find it?

  19. Thomas Whelan 9 years ago

    Watabanker,if you go to Paddy Powers website and just go to the results section you should find what you’re looking for.

  20. raaljaca 9 years ago

    watabanker, what match is it for?

  21. thechief 9 years ago

    Evening Guys, I deliberately avoided betting on the group stages of the Grand Slam of darts, as the round robin format and short distances, makes it risky for punters. Now were in the knockout stage it is proper darts.

    Norris v Huybrechts

    The BDO runner up faces and world No 2 Alan “Chuck” Norris takes on the Belgium tonight it what looks a tough one to call. Huybrechts has had a tough 18 months but will be used to the big noisy crowd. Norris has looked good in two of his 3 group matches. I think this has plenty of legs in it. I’m taking the O16.5 total legs at 1/1 Skybet.

    Kim played well against MVG and seems to be rediscovering his scoring power, and this could be the key to the game. I will take Kim to cover his 180s line set at 4.5. This pays 5/4 Coral

    O16.5 TOTAL MATCH LEGS 1/1
    HUYBRECHTS 04.5 TOTAL 180s 5/4

    Chisnall v Green

    The battle of Merseyside as again PDC takes on BDO, I am taking Chisnall as part of my Treble. The only other bet I like on this is Chizzy total 180s line. Chisnall is one of the best scorers in the game when he is in full flow. He has got 7 in 3 short games so far and I will take him to cover his line of 5.5 at 11/10 Coral.

    CHISNALL O5.5 TOTAL 180s 11/10

    Barneveld v Brown

    The premier league champion against the world youth champion. The first two sessions here are crucial. If RVB jumps out early 6-4 or 7-3 I think he will cruise to victory. If Keegan can get in front even 6-4 or 5-5 we may see RVB “noddy” impression, as he will feel the pressure. I think Barneys experience will see him through, he is on my treble. The bet in this one I like is RVB to cover his checkout set at 113.5. It pays 5/6 Coral.

    RVB O113.5 MATCH CHECKOUT 5/6

    Top Treble

    CHISNALL
    MVG
    RVB

    All to win 11/10 (Coral)

    Good luck if your having a bet

  22. thechief 9 years ago

      I’ll take a 6 fold @ 13/3 too then. Cheers DeAndre.

      Btw MNF, how wrong were we hahaha, well apart from your Anytime which I’m annoyed I didn’t take. Benjamin was 1 yard under his totals, gutted.

      Think unders might be the call for Thursday!

  31. Jordan 9 years ago

    Hope some of you took the BTTS in Holland anyway haha

  32. DeAndre 9 years ago

    Yeah the TD was nice, but if his yards came in I would have been laughing, oh well…not often you call a game that wrong and only lose a little :-)

  33. Ad 9 years ago

    No sign of the ridiculous scorelines ending at the Tour Finals. So glad I haven’t been yet! From 2-0 up in set 1 Wawrinka goes on to lose 3-6, 0-6. I was going to lump on Novak 2-0 when he was a break down but couldn’t place the bet in time. ah well. It’s been a complete disaster of a week from me really! Though I defy anyone to have called most of these mathes

  34. scottylfc7 9 years ago

    deandre your treble pays 2.73/1 on betway :) gunna have a dabble

  35. scottylfc7 9 years ago

  36. kevka 9 years ago

    On your treble DeAndre ;)
    also on a double of Rockets -7(Jordan) and Pelicans just above evens
    good luck tonight

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      Won’t accept that as a tip if it comes in kevka but you’ll know Houston are one of the hottest teams at the moment. Good luck tonight lads. Was 6/6 on the footy singles tonight so won’t be too fussed if I fail on the hoops.

  37. kevka 9 years ago

    Yeah i know, but i was looking for a double around evens and when i saw your post i liked the chance so i took it
    anyway i only use big stakes on football, and with the victory of brazil and argentina (backed it when they were losing at over evens) im covered for the night just like you haha
    So lets just hope that the nba bets land as well ;)

  38. mattr 9 years ago
