The big names in men's tennis are back on court as they build up to next Monday's ATP 1000 Shanghai Masters.
World No.1 Rafael Nadal headlines the field at the Japan Open in Tokyo while world No.3 Novak Djokovic and world No.4 Andy Murray are the top draws at the China Open in Beijing.
US Open champion Nadal is making his event debut in Tokyo and will breeze past Colombian Santiago Giraldo in round one while Djokovic and Murray are expected to do likewise in their opening matches. Forget backing any of the trio until later in the week.
Nadal's fellow Spaniard David Ferrer is worth a punt however (2-5, Skybet, Betfred). The world No.11 takes on No.44 Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin and should reach round two with few problems.
Back in Japan, Frenchman and world No.30 Richard Gasquet should come through his first-round clash with world No.44 Thiemo de Bakker of the Netherlands.
Gasquet is 1-2 with Paddy Power, 888sport, Bodog among others.
