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 […]

World No.4 Andy Murray is in French Open second-round action today against Finland’s Jarkko Nieminen. The Scot has won their three previous meetings and is 1-12 with Sportingbet and William Hill. Nieminen is 10-1 with Bet365. Murray should have few problems maintaining his unbeaten record against the world No.48. Roland Garros favourite, and my tip for a record seventh title […]

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.

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 […]

ANDY MURRAY is just two matches from US Open glory and I’m still backing the Scot to grab his maiden Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows. The British No.1 is facing the two biggest challenges of his career in the next three days but he has no reason to believe he won’t be champion on Monday. With few surprises in the […]

MY tip for US Open glory Andy Murray returned to form on Sunday with a rampaging 6-1 6-4 6-2 victory over Feliciano Lopez of Spain. I advised mrfixitstips followers to get on the 10-11 on offer for the British No.1 to win in straight sets and Murray didn’t let us down. After two frustrating days of rain he hopes to […]

ANDY MURRAY reached round three of the US Open on Friday night but only after the Scot took his fans on a rollercoaster ride at Flushing Meadows. The British No.1 trailed world No.41 Robin Haase 2-0 and many of his followers must have been fearing he was heading for a shock exit. Me? No danger. I always believed my tip […]

BRITISH No.1 Andy Murray tackles Dutchman Robin Haase in the second round of the US Open today and another comfortable win is on the cards for the Scot. I correctly predicted the world No.4 – and my tip to land his first Grand Slam this month in New York – would see off India’s Somdev Devvarman in straight sets on […]

The US Open gets underway on Monday and my money is on British No.1 Andy Murray to end the long wait for that elusive Grand Slam. A victory at Flushing Meadows would turn a largely disappointing season into the greatest of his career so far. Murray has previous at the New York venue, winning the junior singles in 2004, but […]

British No.1 Andy Murray’s confidence will be soaring ahead of the US Open if he can see off world No.1 Novak Djokovic in Cincinnati today. Murray defeated home favourite Mardy Fish on Saturday to reach the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 final, Djokovic through after the first-set retiral of Czech Tomas Berdych. Serbian Djokovic is in the midst of a […]

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 […]

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 […]

ROGER FEDERER will stump the bookies today if he defeats Novak Djokovic in their French Open semi-final showdown at Roland Garros.

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.
