RAFAEL NADAL can create history at the French Open today and, having backed the world No.2 pre-tournament, I remain confident he will land a record seventh Roland Garros crown. World No.1 Novak Djokovic is bidding to create his own piece of history with a victory that would see him hold all four Grand Slams at the one time. The 33rd […]

It’s semi-final day at the French Open in Paris where Rafael Nadal remains on course to capture a record seventh men’s singles title. Standing in the way of the world No.2 is fellow Spaniard David Ferrer, the No.6 seed who ensured Andy Murray’s Grand Slam wait goes on. The other last-four clash sees a showdown between old foes Novak Djokovic […]

ON WEDNESDAY the remaining French Open men’s quarter-finals take place at Roland Garros and expectations are sure to be high after Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer thrilled the crowds on Tuesday. World No.2 Rafael Nadal remains on course for a record seventh title and I won’t be changing my forecast that the Mallorcan will be crowned champion again on Sunday. […]

ANDY MURRAY faces his toughest test yet today at the French Open in the shape of home favourite Richard Gasquet. The British No.1 looked back to his brilliant best at Roland Garros as he sent Santiago Giraldo packing in straight sets. World No.20 Gasquet is a step up in class from the Colombian and he and Murray are tied at […]

Andy Murray tackles Santiago Giraldo today in the third round of the French Open and should reach the last 16. However, the British No.1 was troubled by a back injury during his victory over Jarkko Nieminen and any further problems could result in his Roland Garros bid ending prematurely. I reckon a 100 per cent fit Murray would have been […]

THE second Grand Slam of the season is underway at Roland Garros in Paris where Rafael Nadal is bidding to land the Coupe des Mousquetaires for a record seventh time. Nadal, “The King of Clay”, is in superb form going into the tournament and will take some stopping. He gets his campaign underway on Tuesday against Italian Simone Bolelli. The […]

The ATP1000 Rome Masters ends at Foro Italia on Monday with a mouthwatering clash between world No.1 Novak Djokovic and world No.3 Rafael Nadal in the men’s final. Both players came through their semi-finals in straight sets on Saturday – Serbian Djokovic beating Roger Federer of Switzerland a few hours after Mallorcan Nadal accounted for fellow Spaniard David Ferrer. Rain […]

The semi-finals at the ATP1000 Rome Masters take place today and my tip to land a sixth title at Foro Italico Rafael Nadal is looking as strong as ever. He dumped Czech Tomas Berdych in straight sets to set up a clash with fellow Spaniard David Ferrer. World No.3 Nadal leads Ferrer 14-4 in their previous meetings and therefore should […]

WE are down to the last eight in the Rome Masters but the name of Andy Murray is absent from the quarter-final draw. The British No.1 suffered a shock three-set defeat at Foro Italico to Richard Gasquet and the Frenchman’s reward is a meeting with Spaniard David Ferrer. World No.6 Ferrer (2-9, Paddy Power) leads Gasquet 6-1 in previous meetings and […]

RAFAEL NADAL, the player I’m backing for the Rome Masters, begins his quest for a sixth title today and should have few problems seeing off German Florian Mayer. The Mallorcan, who slipped to world No.3 at the weekend, is a best-priced 1-40 with Boylesports. Mayer, ranked 28, beat Nadal in their only previous meeting last year, on hard courts. He […]

WITH the second Grand Slam of 2012 less than two weeks away it’s time to kick the clay off the baseline and begin serving ace tips in the world of tennis. The French Open at Roland Garros gets underway later this month and Novak Djokovic and co are building up to the major in Rome this week. *British No.1 Andy […]

BRITISH No.1 Andy Murray continues his US Open build-up on Wednesday with a second-round clash at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati. The 24-year-old Scot, who won the event in 2008, suffered a shock straight-sets defeat last week in Montreal to the ever-improving Kevin Anderson of South Africa. Therefore with the final Grand Slam of the year fast approaching […]

RAFAEL NADAL is just one victory from a record-equalling sixth French Open titles and it’s hard to see the world No.1’s dreams being destroyed. The 25-year-old Mallorcan, who is looking to match Bjorn Borg’s six Roland Garros crowns, comes up against the mighty Roger Federer. Nadal got there after a convincing victory over Andy Murray, who failed to produce the […]
Posted on: 02 Jun 2011
ANDY MURRAY will attempt to reach his first French Open final today – against “The King of Clay” and five-time champion Rafael Nadal. Given his Roland Garros record, world No.1 Nadal is the big favourite while British No.1 Murray has nothing to lose. For me, that is the key to a shock victory, “nothing to lose”. Murray isn’t expected to […]
Posted on: 02 Jun 2011
ROGER FEDERER will stump the bookies today if he defeats Novak Djokovic in their French Open semi-final showdown at Roland Garros. Serbian world No.2 Djokovic is the 4-11 favourite with William Hill, 888sport, Blue Square and Boylesports, world No.3 Federer available at 5-2 with Skybet. This will be the 23rd meeting between the duo and Swiss Fed holds the advantage […]

ANDY MURRAY booked his place in the French Open quarter-finals after winning the one-set shoot-out against Serbia’s Viktor Troicki. I backed the British No.1 to prevail in the final set – and doubled up with 19-20 shot Roger Federer to beat Gael Monfils in straight sets. But it was tougher for Murray than anyone would have expected after Troicki allowed […]

WORLD No.1 and five-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal is back in action today at Roland Garros – in a repeat of last year’s final. Twelve months ago the Mallorcan captured his fifth title in Paris, beating today’s opponent Robin Soderling 6-4 6-2 6-4. Nadal has won five of his seven meetings with the Swedish world No.5 – but for […]

THE quarter-finals of the French Open get underway today with world No.3 Roger Federer in action against home favourite Gael Monfils. Parisien Monfils, the world No.9, upset the form book and myself on Monday when he sent David Ferrer packing in a five-set thriller. Some you win some you lose. He will have the Roland Garros crowd cheering his every […]
Posted on: 25 May 2011
BRITISH No.1 Andy Murray is back in action at the French Open on Thursday and should have few problems reaching round three in Paris. The Scot cruised to a 6-4 6-1 6-3 over French qualifier Eric Prodon on Tuesday and standing in his way today is Simone Bolelli of Italy. Murray and world No.126 Bolelli have met twice before, the […]

The French Open is up and running in Paris but the guys likely to be around the business end at Roland Garros won’t be out until Monday. All the talk going into the the second Grand Slam of 2011 surrounds world No.2 Novak Djokovic but I’m sticking with the tried and trusted player at the top of the men’s rankings, […]

The first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event of the season has reached the semi-final stage with three of the world’s top four in action today. World No.1 Rafael Nadal, my pre-tournament tip to win the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, tackles the resurgent and unseeded Juan Martin del Porto. Spanish legend Nadal leads his match up with del […]

No.1 seed Andy Roddick reached the semi-finals of the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis with a three-set victory over Lleyton Hewitt. The American will now face his toughest test yet in the ATP500 event – the formidable figure of Argentine wildcard Juan Martin del Potro. Del Potro dumped Michael Russell for the loss of just six games and is […]

WELSH OPEN champion John Higgins booked his place in the semi-finals on Friday night courtesy of a 5-3 victory over home player Matthew Stevens in Newport. The Scot tackles Ali Carter next and is priced 8-13 with Totesport. England’s Carter, a winner of the title two years ago, defeated Masters champion Ding Junhui 5-2 and is 13-8 with Stan James […]
Posted on: 18 Feb 2011
It’s quarter-final day at the Welsh Open with champion John Higgins in action against Matthew Stevens tonight. Scotland’s world No.1 Higgins was my pre-tournament tip, when he was available at 5-1, and while I expect he’s in for a tough match against Welshman Stevens I still fancy the three-time world champion to book his place in Saturday’s semi-finals. Higgins is […]

The remaining quarter-final spots are up for grabs today at the Wyldecrest Park Homes Welsh Open with crowd favourite Mark Williams among the early starters in Newport. In-form Welshman Williams (2-5, Betfred, Paddy Power and others) lines up against England’s Jamie Cope (2-1, Bet365, Totesport and others) and with the home support behind him the former world champion should advance. […]
