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.

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 […]
Posted on: 02 Jun 2012
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 […]
Posted on: 31 May 2012
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 […]

RAFAEL NADAL gets his campaign underway today as he bids to win a record seventh French Open title in eight years.

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.

Rain […]
Posted on: 19 May 2012
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 […]
Posted on: 17 May 2012
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 […]
Posted on: 16 May 2012
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 […]
Posted on: 07 Sep 2011
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 […]
Posted on: 03 Sep 2011
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 […]
Posted on: 01 Sep 2011
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.

Posted on: 28 Aug 2011
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.

Posted on: 21 Aug 2011
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.

Serbian Djokovic is in the midst of a […]

Therefore with the final Grand Slam of the year fast approaching […]
Posted on: 04 Jun 2011
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.

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 […]
Posted on: 31 May 2011
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.

Nadal has won five of his seven meetings with the Swedish world No.5 – but for […]
Posted on: 30 May 2011
WORLD No.4 Andy Murray will bid to complete a stunning fightback today at the French Open when he resumes his last-16 clash with the ever-improving Viktor Troicki. Pre-match I would have taken British No.1 Murray to see off the world No.15 from Serbia comfortably, maybe giving up a set on the way to the quarters at Roland Garros. But the […]
Posted on: 30 May 2011
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.

RICHARD GASQUET had me making a racquet yesterday after he beat Gilles Simon 2-1 in Dubai – bringing up a fav 4-1 Bonkers Bet. Bookies had unseeded Gasquet as the 5-4 underdog against his fellow Frenchman (4-6) despite taking a 4-0 record into their quarter-final clash at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. I urged you to “get your money […]

TOP seed Roger Federer and defending champion Novak Djokovic are in action again today in the quarter-finals of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

ANDY RODDICK and Milos Raonic were the bookies outsiders in Saturday’s Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis – but I predicted victories for both and I hope you took my advice.

STEPHEN MAGUIRE edged Mark Selby late on Saturday night to set up an all-Scottish final with John Higgins in the Welsh Open at the Newport Centre. My Bonkers Bet ahead of the semi-finals advised punters to get on the 9-4 for a Higgins/Maguire showdown and thanks to my fellow countrymen the bookies were left requiring snookers last night. Higgins was […]

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 10th Cricket World Cup begins early on Saturday and after much deliberation I’m going to stick with my first choice, Australia, to be crowned champions. Deliberation? Why? Well despite their status as third favourites, behind co-hosts India and Sri Lanka, and odds of 6-1 (Stan James), I was plumping for the reigning and four-time champions because of their impressive […]

CANADIAN wonderkid Milos Raonic grabbed his sixth win a row yesterday to book his place in today’s Regions Morgan Keegan Championships quarter-finals in Memphis.

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.

THE first tennis Grand Slam of 2011 is only a matter of hours away and I would be delighted if we are celebrating Andy Murray’s first major victory on January 30.

England’s hopes of wrapping up the Ashes before Christmas were destroyed in Perth as Mitchell Johnson and Michael Hussey led Australia to a thumping 267-run third Test win.

THE ASHES gets underway this week with England’s cricketers confident of their first victory Down Under since 1986-87.
