All times are UK/Irish and are subject to change, and all times are in 24hr format e.g., 01.00 = 1am and 16:00 = 4pm:

PLEASE NOTE, IF THERE ARE LIQUIDITY ISSUES, ALWAYS KEEP THE STAKES LOW

WTA RIO:

1. 16:30 – Burger v Schiavone –> HOT TIP

Veteran Schiavone is a former French Open champion and beat a very tough opponent in Duque Marino in the last match. Have to back her at the beginning mainly due to her experience..

—> Back Schia @1.5, Lay @1.25

2. 19:30 – Kovinic v Cirstea

Surprisingly, Kovinic stormed past Espinosa in the last round. With Cirstea’s general form a matter of concern, I’d prefer backing the favourite. Keep the stakes low here..

—> Back Kovinic @1.7, Lay @1.35

ATP MARSEILLE:

3. 15:00 – Kyrgios v Gasquet

Gasquet’s form is not bad by any means as he won his last tournament at Montpellier. Suggesting to back Richard at the start as the Frenchman is quite a good returner of serve and generally plays well at home..

—> Back Gasquet @1.74, Lay @1.4

ATP DELRAY BEACH:

4. 19:30 – Becker v Ram

Ram has been much more consistent so far at Delray Beach beating players like Tomic in 2 sets. Considering he has served quite well so far, I suggest laying the German at the beginning..

Keep the stakes low for this tip..

—> Lay Becker @1.83, Back @2.7
