JUSTIN ROSE’S US Open win cost Ladbrokes £2million – but I was interested to read about the six punters who won 57 between them! The Englishman was heavily backed before the tournament started at 25-1 and in-play punters had the opportunity to punt Rose as big as 66-1. However, going into the late hours of Sunday evening Rose was as […]

THE Confederations Cup is often passed over as an irrelevance but the line-up this year is stronger than usual and of course hosts Brazil – winners in 2005 and 2009 – are building up to the main event on their soil next summer.

IT’S an exciting day at Queens as the quarter-finals hit full flow. There are three short-priced favourites in Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Andy Murray and Thomas Berdych, two of which were my pre-tournament selections in Murray and Tsonga.

The St Jude Classic began life as the Memphis Open, way back in 1958. For the last six years it’s preceded the US Open, so we have a couple of factors to consider.
