IT’S a big day at Wimbledon with Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic in action. Murray will be looking to beat Aussie John Millman 3-0 while Djoko needs to beat Sam Querrey 3-0 today or he is out. The world No.1 and holder of all four Grand Slams is staring at defeat after Querrey took a one-sided second set 6-1 before […]

THERE’S no doubt the standout quarter-final tie at Euro 2016 is Germany v Italy. I’ve heard many pundits say the winner of this match will lift the trophy but having tipped France on the anteposts I have to disagree. France are marginal tournament favourites at a best 3-1 ahead of Germany who are 3-1 with most bookies while the Italians are […]

WALES face their biggest game for 58 years tonight – and will need their biggest star to perform at his best. Chris Coleman’s side have had an easy route to the last four but will be tested severely by a Belgium side who have grown into the tournament after losing their opener to Italy. That result seemed to be the […]

MY Tuesday double finally won two days after I put it up – and it’s the Thursday one that’s still running. John Isner beat Marcos Baghdatis 3-0 to add to Dominic Thiem’s earlier win against Florian Mayer. I’ll post a Friday single, double or more after having a good luck at games and order of play in the morning. Let’s get […]

LE GOLF NATIONAL in Paris plays host to the 100th French Open and the 2018 Ryder Cup venue has attracted a stellar cast. In recognition of the centenary the tournament will count as two events played in the Race To Dubai and there are enhanced points towards the Ryder Cup World Points List and the European Points List. Also those […]

REDESIGNED by Robert Trent Jones in 1960 the South Course at Firestone Country Club, Akron hosts the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. The 7400 yard par 70 will test the world’s best golfers this week with a series of long par fours and one of the longest par fives anywhere. Famously the 16th is 667 yards long with a pond at the front […]

PORTUGAL have brought the best and worst out of teams in Euro 2016. Their 3-3 draw with Hungary was game of the tournament while their last-16 defeat of Croatia was the worst in recent memory. So it’s difficult to know what to expect in their last-eight clash with Poland tonight. I fear we’ll get more Croatia than Hungary so a […]

MY Tuesday double is still running two days after I put it up – but it’s halfway to winning. Dominic Thiem beat Florian Mayer in three sets and John Isner leads Marcos Baghdatis by one set but was a break down in the second when play was suspended. My tennis double on the challenge won – Novak Djokovic and Roger […]

MY Tuesday double is still running after Wimbledon was hit by rain. Hopefully John Isner and Dominic Thiem get to play on Wednesday and the weather improves. Let’s get all your Wimbledon thoughts here and remember to check out tips from the likes of big mac and Johnb. Daily Double Isner to bt Baghdatis (3pm) Thiem to bt Mayer (3pm) (11-10, […]

MARCUS WILLIS – I won’t forget that name in a hurry. He’s Britain’s No.23 and that tells you all you need to know. Willis on his Wimbledon debut upset my fivefold with a shock defeat of Ricardo Berankis to earn a £50,000 pay day – even when he loses to Roger Federer in round two. Berankis has won £221 this […]

THE biggest of all the tennis Grand Slam starts today and we’re anticipating some top tips from the likes of big mac and Johnb. There’s money to be made, especially in the early rounds, and my tactic is to back hot favourites to win or to win 3-0 if they’re too short. Let’s get all your Wimbledon thoughts here and to […]

BIGGEST game of the last 16 is the pick of the bunch and a repeat of the 2012 final. Spain won that one 4-0 but it should be much tighter this time and I’m going for a draw in 90 minutes at 2-1 with McBookie and Ladbrokes. The holders are favourites at 6-5 with Coral while the draw pays 7-2 at Ladbrokes. […]

ENGLAND have struggled to break down sides and may have to be patient against Iceland tonight. Roy Hodgson’s side are massive favourites to reach the last eight but performances have got worse instead of better and it’s difficult to back them at a best 4-7 at McBookie and Ladbrokes. After playing OK against Russia but conceding late England needed an […]

COPA AMERICA has played second fiddle to the Euros but Argentina have been turning on the style. They’ve netted 18 goals on their way to tomorrow’s final against Chile in New Jersey and are 4-5 with McBookie and William Hill to lift the trophy in 90 minutes. The sides have already met at the group stage with Argentina winning 2-1 and […]

FRANCE were my antepost tip to win the Euros but they’ve got a tough route to the Final. Spain, Germany, Italy and England have all landed in the same half so only one can make it to Paris on July 10. I’m still hoping it’s the French and they should end Republic of Ireland’s adventure tomorrow. France won their first […]

HUNGARY are one of the surprise packets of the tournament having come through Group F without losing a game. They were also involved in the best games of the tournament – a 3-3 draw against Portugal that could have seen so many more goals.Belgium started off with a bad 2-0 defeat to Italy but followed up with wins to nil […]

GERMANY have been efficient if not dynamic in their progress to the last 16 without conceding. The world champions clinched Group C with a 1-0 win against Northern Ireland that should have been many more. A combination of poor finishing, bad luck and great goalkeeping by Michael McGovern kept the score down as the Irish defended for their lives. Slovakia sealed their […]

AT the start of Euro 2016 I said there would be a surprise semi-finalist … and that’s the way it’s panning out. Croatia were mentioned as a dark horse and look nailed on to make the last four after sinking Spain to top Group C. Holders Spain, hosts France, Germany and England are all in the same half of the […]

CROATIA are last into action today and having won Group C would have expected an easier task than a meeting with Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo finally got off the mark to drag the Portuguese through in third place after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Hungary. Ronaldo’s men drew all three of their group games while Croatia would have won all three […]

FIRST of the last-16 ties at Euro 2016 is Switzerland v Poland and while neither side has been explosive you have to fancy the Poles. They haven’t conceded yet – including a 0-0 draw with Germany – and will be hoping Robert Lewandowski will find his shooting boots after drawing a blank in Group C. His strike pal Arkadiusk Milik […]

VENUE for the BMW International Open is the Gut Larchenhof, Cologne and players who took part at Oakmont last weekend will be pleased to hear he greens are a bit slower but not by much. Accuracy off the tee could be a factor as the landing areas are quite tight but hitting greens in regulation might be more important. Scott Hend might not […]

DUSTIN JOHNSON beat all the odds and the USGA to win the US Open at the weekend and justify my faith in him. There has been a lot said on social media and in the press on the controversy and I’m on Dustin’s side. I don’t think the USGA would have given him a one stroke penalty if there was only […]

CRISTIANO RONALDO has endured a nightmare tournament but must turn up tonight if Portugal are to qualify. To be fair the Real Madrid star hasn’t failed due to a lack of effort – in fact he’s probably trying too hard. He’s had 20 efforts on goal in the first two games but converted none including a penalty miss against Austria. […]

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND must beat Italy to stay alive and on the evidence of the first two games they have no chance. The Irish were unlucky to be held by Sweden but woeful in a 3-0 defeat against Belgium while Italy have won two without conceding. One thing in Martin O’Neill’s favour is Italy have already won the group so […]
