ODI CRICKET: AUSSIES v ENGLAND

Posted on: 05 Feb 2011

AUSTRALIA and England will meet for the seventh and final time in Perth early on *Sunday, unfortunately in a dead rubber, rather than a nailbiting one-day series decider.

AUSSIE OPEN FINAL: MURRAY v DJOKOVIC

Posted on: 28 Jan 2011

SCOT Andy Murray is just one win from Grand Slam glory and I reckon it will be third time lucky for the British No.1 when he contests the Australian Open final early on Sunday morning. Murray, who lost in the 2008 US Open final, booked his second-successive spot in the Melbourne final after seeing off gutsy Spaniard David Ferrer on […]

BRITISH No.1 Andy Murray will walk on to the Rod Laver Arena on Friday closer than ever to winning that elusive maiden Grand Slam. The 23-year-old would have been expecting to take to the court with world No.1 Rafael Nadal.

Belgian Clijsters, a three-time US Open champion and a finalist in Australia in 2004, has beaten No.2 seed Zvonareva in six of their nine meetings. In fact the pair met in the 2010 US […]

AUSTRALIAN OPEN: WOMEN’S QUARTER-FINAL PREVIEW

Posted on: 24 Jan 2011

WOMEN’S singles favourite Kim Clijsters is just three wins from capturing her first Australian Open title after a 7-6 6-2 win over unseeded Russian Ekaterina Makarova. The No.3 seed from Belgium tackles Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland in the last eight and with Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams and Justine Henin now nothing more than distant memories in Melbourne it’s hard to […]

Australian Open favourite Rafael Nadal will tackle David Ferrer in an all-Spanish quarter-final after a comfortable victory over Marin Cilic. World No.1 Nadal, who is bidding to become the first player since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all Grand Slams at the one time, eased past his Croatian opponent 6-2 6-4 6-3. Ferrer, the No.7 seed, needed four sets […]

CRICKET: ASHES BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 23 Nov 2010

THE ASHES gets underway this week with England’s cricketers confident of their first victory Down Under since 1986-87. Andrew Strauss’ troops are playing better than ever but I believe they will still come up short against Australia. The bookies agree and how often do they get it wrong? England arrived in Australia four years ago in the same frame of […]
