NOVAK DJOKOVIC suffered his first indoor defeat for three years yesterday as Swiss master Roger Federer inflicted a shock straight-sets loss on the world No.1.
Federer is now through to the semis and today Andy Murray aims to lock down the world No.2 spot for the year with a victory over Rafa Nadal.
They've met just once in 2015 – Murray coming out on top at the Madrid Masters – but Nadal leads the head-to-head 15-6 and they haven't played each other on a hard court since 2012.
With both players in good form lately it has the makings of a cracking clash and Murray is 8-13 favourite (Paddy Power) while the Spaniard is 8-5 at Boylesports and three sets looks a decent shout at 7-5 with Betway.
In the day's later match Stan Wawrinka and David Ferrer fight for survival after both losing their openers in straight sets. Wawrinka – who has won the last three meetings – is 9-13 at Marathonbet while Ferrer is an 11-8 chance at Ladbrokes.
Elsewhere today there's the likes of cricket and NBA action so let's hear all your sporting tips and thoughts and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly 
Jarrett Jack (Brooklyn Nets) Over 6.5 Assists @ 5/6 @ PP – 2.4 points **WIN**
Nicolas Batum (Charlotte Hornets) 18.5+ @ 1.83 – 2 Points. – *LOST*
Charlotte Hornets -1 @ 1.90 – 1.5 – *LOST*
The winning streak comes to an end after 5 in a row.
Batum only managed 4 points.
Oh well, my record still looks good with 22 wins, 14 lost and 2 void.
Bounce back tonight!
Hi,
1) Murray – Nadal – Murray(-2.5) @ 10/11
2) Wawrinka – Ferrer – Over 22.5 @ 3/4
GL ;)
Ice hockey
Finland Liiga
Vaasan Sport +1.5
TPS Turku
Russia MHL
Sibirskie Snaipery
MHC Spartak
Four fold @ 3.78
@dazzler, are these to win outright (60min) or moneyline (except for Vaasan) ? Cause you normally mention 60min so I’m wondering.
should have stuck to rebounds..
batum over 18.5 ( as said ) pillock
hornets -1 because of the pillock
steph curry over 5.5 assists ( 7 )
karl anthony towns over 11.5 boards ( 14 )
chris bosh over 21.5 points ( 10 rubbish )
brook lopez over 9 boards ( 10 )
pozingis over 8.5 boards ( 11 )
batum destroyed the single , how can you score 17 , 24 , 28 ,33 and bloody 4 ( and 3 of them was a 3 with a minute left ) mindboggling…
gutted the bet of the night was over in the gsw game , nevermind onto tonight.
small loss thanks to jay assist tip
actually curry had 9 assists …
Yeah that Batum score was ridiculous…. 4 points!?
On to tonight..
Early lean towards Twolves (6-0 ATS away underdogs) and Raptors.
Possibly Wiggins Over 20.5…
***Posted Yesterday***
*Lost* -Hawks -3.5 at Nets
*WON* – Tor/Gsw O.207
**Broke Even
Korean B’Ball Double (starts in 5 mins):
– Goyang Orions -4.5
– Samsung Blue Minx -2.5
Pays $3.55 odds
Guessing Korean basketball isn’t your strong point ? lol never mind mate worth a shot.
Bookies got one back last night … no worries we’ll bounce back tonight.
Only team really standing out is the Warriors currently, they’re the champs and they’re proving it. Hawks and Cavs need a wake-up. 4 points by Batum, looks like he didn’t want to play, he would have made the difference for the Hornets.
NBA selections for tonight:
– Hawks -4.5 *** LOST ***
– Batum over 18.5 pts *** LOST ***
– Cavs -4.5 *** LOST ***
Double: *** LOST ***
– Hawks ML (lost)
– Warriors -3.5 (won)
Trebble: *** LOST ***
– Add: Hornets +5.5 (lost)
4-Fold: *** LOST ***
– Add: Cavs ML (lost)
Useless Koreans. Tops of tables getting beaten by bottom of tables.. Should’ve refrained but got bored, haha
Any thoughts on MURRAY VS NADAL….
considering a meaty punt on murray 4/7
ellis, for me that could go both ways.
Murray’s motivation is if he wins he seals world No.2 spot.
He played well against Ferrer but at some point his mind will wander towards next week’s David Cup Final.
Well, Rondo assists are out the window. Paddy Power have set the bar at 11.5. Swines.
Paul George is a tempting bet.. the bar is set at 25.5 points.
Some may be put off by such a large total, but.. he’s averaged 28 in the last 5, and hasn’t dropped below 26 in 7 games.
Pacers are away to 76ers.
Definitely leaning towards a bet….
Jacks total is 6.5 again so no reason not to take it once more with 8 last night.
Jarrett Jack (Brooklyn Nets) Over 6.5 Assists @ 5/6 @ PP – 2.4 points
Also perhaps Monta Ellis. 16 points is the target.. 24 and 20 in last 2.
Euro basket:
– Szolnoki Olaj +1.5
– Inter Bratislava +10.5
– ZZ Leiden +6.5
– Kumanovo +11.5
4-FOLD pays odds of $12.23 (0.5pts returns 6.1pts)
^^^forgot to say, they are all home dogs, and whilst Olaj should win outright, the others should cover the spread (fingers crossed!)
NBA selections for tonight:
– Spurs/Nuggets over 196
– Nets +7
– Monta Ellis over 16.5 pts
Double:
– Jazz ML
– Pacers ML
Trebble:
– Add: Hawks/Kings over 196.5
Monta Ellis (Indiana Pacers) 16+ Points 1.83 – 1.2 Points.
With George Hill still out Ellis has every chance of getting more than 16 tonight.. last 2 games – 20 and 24.
Chicago Bulls 2.5+ @ 1.90 – 2 Points.
This is going to be a close game, both teams are in a good place, winning 3 in a row. I just think that Bulls shouldn’t be the underdogs and will win this one.
Treble for fun…
Monta Ellis 16+ Points
Jarrett Jack 6.5+ Assists
Chicago Bulls ML
Treble @ 7.39.
Good luck all!
Nice picks Raoul, looks good. Didn’t want to touch the Bulls game but will have a go at the fun trebble, has every chance!
Cheers Oriaz, feeling more confident tonight. Good luck with your selections!

Got a push on the Jazz game. 2 missed free throws at the death cost me a win. At least stake is refunded with the push
