I CALLED the women’s semi-finals correctly but it was all too easy for Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber who both won in straight sets. In fact Serena lost just two games in a terribly one-sided match lasting just 48 minutes against Elena Vesvina who looked scared stiff on Centre Court. The double paid just 1-2 and if hadn’t been wrongly appeared 13-10 […]

HOSTS France have pretty much cruised into the last four and now face their toughest test. There’s no doubt in my mind France have been Euro 2016’s best performers but conceding two goals against Iceland highlighted defensive deficiences we knew about pre-tournament. Sure, those goals were conceded when the quarter-final was won but it’s clear France can be got at […]

WITH the Greenbrier Classic cancelled due to flooding this week it will be the Scottish Open and the US Women’s Open supplying my selections. Castle Stuart is a classic links golf course on the Moray Firth, which only opened in 2009. In its three years of hosting the Scottish Open (2011, 2012 and 2013) it has had an eventful time. […]

AFTER yesterday’s drama at Wimbledon which saw Andy Murray and Roger Federer win five-set thrillers it’s the turn of the women to take centre stage. Hot favourite Serena Williams faces shocktroop Elena Vesnina while her older sister Venus is underdog against German Angeligue Kerber. Kerber is 4-11 at boylesports to beat Venus who is in her first Wimbledon semi since 2009 after […]

EURO 2016 resumes on Wednesday with the first semi-final – and it’s a game no one could have predicted … not even a nine-legged octopus. Wales, a side ranked 107th in the world when Chris Coleman took charge, were simply meant to enjoy their first finals for 58 years – not try to go the whole way. And they face a Portugal […]

IT was the men’s turn today as we reach the last-eight stage at Wimbledon. Three of the women’s quarter-finals went to form yesterday and it was a pity the one that didn’t involved Dominika Cibulkova who beat my new challenge at the first attempt. Wednesday’s ties see Andy Murray tackle Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Roger Federer face Marin Cilic, Sam Querrey against […]

IT was the Andy Murray show on Monday as he annihilated Nick Kyrgios to set up a last-eight clash with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Murray is odds on with all bookies now to win a second Wimbledon title and in the form he’s in it’s difficult to see who can stop him. I only saw the first set against Kyrgios but it’s […]

THEY’VE caught up at Wimbledon as the rain stayed away to allow play on the middle Sunday for the first time since 2004. It’s last-16 day in the men’s and women’s singles and pick of the ties is title favourite Andy Murray v Aussie upstart Nick Kyrgios. It should be a cracker and as I need just £16 to hit […]

THE final quarter-final is between hosts France and shocktroops Iceland on Sunday. France were my antepost picks and I’m pleased they have avoided the big guns as they target a last-four place. Iceland deserve credit for beating England but that’s it for them. That was their cup final – it’s time to say au revoir and catch a plane home to […]

IT should be a rest day at Wimbledon but for the first time since 2004 there is action on the middle Sunday as organisers bid to catch up after weather delays. Punters are still reeling from Novak Djokovic’s shock exit to Sam Querrey and Andy Murray is now evens favourite from 7-2 to win his third Grand Slam title. It could be […]

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 […]

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 […]
