I am going to put up four selections today ..........


....... the other 3 are football bets, but going to start with the tennis in Cincinnati.

Andrew Murray seems to be developing, both physically and as a tennis player, almost on a day to day basis. His leg muscles look very defined and he has obviously been working hard on his fitness levels, which has been a problem in the past, he is destined for a top 5 ranking, at the very least.

He was down and out yesterday against Robby Ginepri and admitted to feeling exhausted, yet found a way to win. Murray said that he had woke up feeling tired and his legs just were not there.

Think the young Scot will take a lot of confidence from that victory, everything was wrong and he managed to beat a top 20 player. Following on from defeating the world number one, he must be on cloud nine.

Today he meets Andy Roddick, for the third time this year, Murray winning both in straight sets, at Wimbledon and San Jose.

Brad Gilbert, Murray's coach, was formerly Roddick's, guide , mentor and confidante, this should add a lot of spice to their meeting. If anyone knows the way to play against Roddick, it is Gilbert and this must be a big advantage to the British player.

At the odds on offer (2.52), Murray looks the value option in what should be an entertaining encounter.

Elsewhere, Ivan Ljubicic, proved too good for our selection yesterday and may follow up today, he is serving as well as anyone on tour and holds a 4-0 h2h record, over today's opponent, Tommy Robredo. He should win comfortably and 1.58 is fair, however, no selection for me.

2 points Murray to beat Roddick 2.52 betfair.

Back shortly.

Good Luck.
