DAN EVANS has his eye on a huge scalp at the US Open after sealing the best win of his career in the previous round.
The British underdog sent German starlet Alexander Zverev packing to earn himself a crack at world No.3 Stan Wawrinka today.
Evans is 13-2 at Marathonbet to KO the Swiss and 7-5 at Ladbrokes to take a set while Wawrinka is huge favourite at 2-13 with Betfair to reach round four and 13-14 at Unibet to progress in straight sets.
Andy Murray has yet to drop a set at Flushing Meadows this year and should maintain that record in his third-round clash with Italian journeyman Paolo Lorenzi, who is a whopping 59-2 to sink the Scot.
There's plenty more sporting highlights today including qualifying for the F1 Italian Grand Prix plus Pro12 and Premership rugby union.
Good luck with your bets and as usual let's hear all your tips and chat.

Good win for Johanna Konta yesterday and she is now only two wins away from getting us a nice 8/1 antepost winner
KONTA was advised at 8/1 to win the 3rd quarter and she is now 15/8
KERBER was advised at 7/4 to win the 4th quarter and she is now 4/5
Not a great deal in today’s tennis but a long shot that looks overpriced is Murray to win 6-0 in the first set but it is a longshot but I can see at least one set finishing 6-0
Stan Wawrinka is now past his sell by date and Dan Evans if on a going day can beat Wawrinka,
Tomorrow sees another player I don’t fancy, Nowak Djokovic,
Djokovic hasn’t even played 5 sets in this tournament yet so that is a big advantage but it means his wrist hasn’t been tested yet and Kyle Edmund could test it

Mr f I will say Djokovic can’t win the tournament
Don’t think he’ll win the tournament but I’m pretty sure he’ll beat Edmund.
Dan Evans to win a set against Wawrinka is today’s NAP
