I will be playing this one, though.
Elina Svitolina (-1.5 sets) to beat Tereza Martincova at 1.80 with Pinnacle
The slow conditions should help Svitolina big time in this match-up, Martincova typically needs some help to hit through. The Czech has had some good results lately, but Svitolina is capable of just crushing her if she plays to her standard.

Martic looked decent in the first round and Halep hasn't hit her best in a while, don't really fancy it. Good luck though!

I'm a bit worried about Siniakova's mentality there, though she should win if she keeps it at least somewhat physical. Clijsters was moving poorly against Hsieh, it wasn't a great match overall. I haven't seen either Martic or Volynets lately, so can't comment on that one.

Murray seems to be upping his game for bigger opponents and then losing tamely against weak ones. He'll be trying hard tomorrow, for sure, and Hurkacz has had some slips since his Wimbledon run. I'd stay away personally (though I'd be on Hurkacz if pushed).

Maria Sakkari to beat Jelena Ostapenko at 1.70
Tagging along with @CzechPunter on this one.
Gael Monfils to beat (-1.5 sets) Philipp Kohlschreiber at 2.04 
One of the most loopsided matchups on the ATP tour. Gael is up 10-0 on hardcourts here vs Kohli and has won 14 of 16 matches v Kohli in their careers. Gael has started to win matches again and it's looking quite terrific for him tonight.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to beat (-1.5 sets) Tereza Martincova at 1.75
Saw Martincova v Siniakova and my view of this matchup is that Pavs will likely blow Martincova off court.

Amazing job!

Bencic is trying to qualify for the WTA Finals so her commitment is beyond doubt. She said she will play all she can until Indian Wells, then she will see if it is possible or not, and then reevaluate from there. I saw Samsonova's first match here. She wasn't great but her big serve saved her from many dangerous situations. I did not see her against Dodin but it seems she could have lost that match (2 TBs and Dodin wasted a lot of BPs...). I agree with four-leaf, Bencic should win but the odds have dropped and there's no value in betting on her at 1.35, when she was at 1.50-1.55. If I were you I will wait and try to get better odds betting on live.

Yes she probably will win but I don't see mutch value in betting on her.

Thats my thoughts.

Kings Lynn v Dagenham & Redbridge (National League) Dagenham have been very impressive so far this season and they will be disappointed that they only got a point at Wealdstone last week when they defended poorly a couple of times. They have been very strong up front though having scored at least 2 goals in every game so far and their xG is just over 2 as well whilst their opponents is just under 1. They are likely to get some good chances against their hosts who apart from keeping a poor Yeovil quiet have been conceding plenty of good chances to their opponents. This game is on BT Sport tomorrow afternoon and hopefully we will see one of my ante-post bets for the title win fairly comfortably.    Torquay v Grimsby (National League) Torquay finally won their first game of the season last week at Maidenhead, but after being 4 up at half time they lost the 2nd half 3-0 and the story of their season so far is that they are giving their opponents some good goal scoring opportunities. Currently their opponents xG is 1.96 compared to their own 1.27 and even in the game last week Maidenhead's xG was higher. That win might see them kick on, but I do think the hangover from losing the play-off final is still there and I am opposing them on Saturday. Grimsby also won a game which ended 4-3 as they beat Barnet with a superb free kick in injury time. I know Barnet going down to 10 men helped, but they were creating lots of chances and I think they deserved the win in the end. Barnet just happened to be very clinical and they were the first team to actually have a shot on target against Grimsby this season. I think they look stronger than Torquay this season so will take them to win this.   Wealdstone v Altrincham (National League I am going to try Wealdstone again here as I did in their previous home game. That afternoon they drew 0-0 with Southend and although they were probably fortunate to get a point against Dagenham last week it showed again that they have been putting in some very good performances and one of them deserves to be turned into 3 points soon. Altrincham may have been fortunate to have played Torquay on the opening day and then Dover last week to get their two wins on the board. When they faced Halifax in between they weren't great and lost 2-0. With home advantage I would make the home side favourites myself.   Blyth Spartans v Darlington (National League North) A local derby here and I like the home side. They looked on paper a much stronger squad then they had been the last couple of years and that has shown on the pitch as well as they have only lost one of their opening 5 games. That defeat was against a bang in form Kidderminster so there was no disgrace in that and they got a very good point against Brackley last week. Darlington on the other hand have had a horrid start to the season losing all 3 games to Alfreton, Curzon and Bradford. Given how both sides have been playing so far I make the home side odds on shots to win this.   Gloucester v Curzon (National League North) Last season my own side won me plenty of money as it took the bookies a while to cotton on to how good we were, this season hopefully I can continue to make money from their games just that this time around I am taking them on. Obviously as much as I thought we would lose last week I wasn't expecting a 9-0 defeat, but it wasn't a great surprise that after being 2 down and a man down after 20 minutes that the players basically gave up. They hadn't tried much against Kettering either and I just don't see what will change ahead of this game. The Curzon manager summed things up nicely for me when he said that credit to Gloucester because they had tried to pass the ball around, but it was a bit naive because it meant Chorley could pick them off at will. Yes Chorley scored some good goals which on another day might not have gone in, but the defending was shocking and some of the chances were gifts. Paul Groves doesn't seem to have a plan b and we have made it pretty clear to every one else in the league what they have to do to beat us. There doesn't seem to be any new players arriving ahead of this game so as much as sometimes teams can bounce back from a heavy defeat because they are hurting, I am not sure what exactly will have changed. Curzon have started the season in fantastic form having lost just once to Boston and looked very good last week in a 3-0 win over Leamington. I'd love to be wrong, but I find it hard to see anything other than an away win and they should be favourites.   Chippenham v Chelmsford (National League South) There is some irony in the fact that Chippenham who basically have a team of ex Gloucester players and a former Gloucester manager have actually started the season well. They are unbeaten in 4 games and currently 5th in the table. Mike Cook has made them tough to beat, but they have had a bit of luck in one or two of their games and I think Chelmsford are a spot of value to beat them. Vincent Harper has been one of their best players this season and he left earlier in the week and that will weaken them in my opinion. Chelmsford lost their opening 2 games, but they have improved after that and after beating Bath they have got two very good draws against Ebbsfleet and Dorking. I would have these two sides much closer in the betting than they are.   Dagenham & Redbridge 2.5pts @ 10/11 with Betfred, William Hill & Bet365 (Evs is available with Betway and take up to 8/13) Grimsby 1pt @ 13/8 with Bet365 (take up to 11/8) Wealdstone 1pt @ 2/1 with Bet365 (take up to 6/4) Blyth Spartans 2.5pts @ 13/10 with Skybet, Paddy Power, Betfair and William Hill (take up to 4/5) Curzon Ashton 3pts @ 15/8 with BetVictor and Betfred (take up to 5/4) Chelmsford 1pt @ 12/5 with Betfred (take up to 7/4)  

Amazing job as always @StevieDay1983

Amazing job as always @StevieDay1983

I have 5 single bets for tomorrow and a banker home treble in the National League South.   Dagenham & Redbridge v Bromley (National League)   What a start from Dagenham last week as they really impressively beat Stockport 3-1 last Saturday coming from a goal down. Obviously with them being one of the ante-post tips it was pleasing to see them do so well. They face a Bromley side who didn't get to play last week after Grimsby got Covid. As I mentioned with one of my tips last week I really do think that a team having already played a competitive game is a big advantage and that tips Dagenham into value territory for me. Bromley look to have a decent side again although I do think Dagenham will obviously finish above them come May. Hopefully we also see some home wins this week after last week in the National League every game was an away win apart from one which was a draw!   Woking v Halifax (National League) Happy to back Woking again this week to make it 2/2. To be fair to Wealdstone they played pretty well and could have got a point, but it was a good start for Woking and proves they will be a much different proposition this season. Happy to oppose Halifax again as well as they looked lacking in defence against Maidenhead who came from a goal down to win 2-1. I think the home side should be shorter.   Concord v Hampton & Richmond (National League South) Concord caused a huge shock on the opening day of the season when they beat Dorking 1-0 and they did well last week as well to get a 3-3 draw against Oxford City. Despite that though I still think Hampton are a good bet here. I put them up on the opening day when they bolted up against Eastbourne and then last week they just went down 2-1 to Havant. Interestingly last season they were very strong away from home and struggled for wins at home and given how good they were away on the opening day you just wonder if it could happen again this season. I think they have the much better side as well so I would have them shorter in the betting myself.   Ebbsfleet v Hemel Hempstead (National League South) Hemel have let in 7 goals in their opening 2 games and as I mentioned last week they are suffering big time from injuries at the moment. Ebbsfleet didn't play last week, but on the opening day they beat Tonbridge 5-1 in a very impressive performance. I think they will fancy their chances of scoring more goals here and it isn't a big surprise the early 4/5 was taking and they are much shorter now. I still think they look attractively priced on the handicap though so will take them on the -1.   Treble (all National League South) Ebbsfleet are obviously going to be the first leg of the treble. Their Kent rivals Maidstone are leg 2. They host Billericay who look set for a tough season based on their first two games and they lost 7-2 to Eastbourne last week. Maidstone have won both games and they really ought to make it 3/3. Another Kent side Welling have got off to a miserable start as well and like Billericay could be set for a relegation battle based on their opening two games. St Albans have lost both their games but then they have played Dartford and Dorking! This is clearly much easier and they should get their first points on the board.   Bromsgrove v AFC Rushden & Diamonds (Southern Premier Central) I know Bromsgrove won last Saturday, but I am happy to take them on again as the bookies still seem to think they will do well based on the fact they are still pretty short for the title. Rushden are a solid side and I would make them favs for this game.   Dagenham & Redbridge 1pt @ 5/4 with Bet365, BetVictor, Betfred, Skybet and Hills (take up to Evs) Woking 2pts @ 7/5 with Bet365 and Hills (take up to Evs) Hampton & Richmond 2pts @ 29/20 with BetVictor (take up to Evs) Ebbsfleet -1 2pts @ 6/4 with Betfair, Paddys and Betfred (take up to 11/10) Ebbsfleet/Maidstone/St Albans 2pts treble @ 2.24/1 with Betfair and Paddys (you can get 2.4/1 with Betway if you can get on and take up to 7/4) AFC Rushden & Diamonds 1pt @ 7/4 with Betfred and Bet365

Anna Blinkova to beat Jill Belen Teichmann at 3.40 with Pinnacle
Teichmann had a massive week last week, but this is a tight schedule and, with the US Open coming up, I wouldn't be surprised by see her losing early. Or even withdrawing for the event, for all you know. She's the better player of the two, but Blinkova has beaten her before and can play a very decent standard herself. Wouldn't go near it at these odds in normal circumstances, but what's on offer is anything but.

Norwich vs Liverpool
The evening kick-off at 5:30pm BST on Saturday in the Premier League is newly promoted Norwich against one of the favourites for the title Liverpool at Carrow Road. This was the opening fixture when the home team were last in the top flight and on that occasion it ended in a 4-1 defeat for the Norfolk side. Will this clash produce a different outcome or more of the same?
Norwich are back in the top flight of English football and they did it in convincing fashion by winning the Championship title last season. Daniel Farke has claimed that his team has learned from their last outing in the Premier League but the proof will be in the pudding. A number of players have been brought in to strengthen this Canaries squad including Billy Gilmour, Ben Gibson, and Milot Rashica. Josh Sargent is an interesting addition from Werder Bremen because he offers genuine competition for Teemu Pukki up front and you feel that was desperately needed by Norwich. Midfielder Przemyslaw Placheta and defender Andrew Omobamidele are both ruled out. It's just 1 win in 9 attempts for Norwich in Premier League opening league games. A worrying stat is that the club haven't won at home on the opening day of a league season since 2002 when they beat Grimsby 4-0. It's also now 10 Premier League games lost in a row for Norwich stretching back to their last time in the top flight.
Liverpool will be pleased to have put their injury woes of last season behind them. One player that epitomised those problems was centre back Virgil Van DIjk who missed the majority of last season through injury. He returns here but the Reds will still be without left back Andrew Robertson who has an ankle injury. Curtis Jones is likely to also miss out through concussion and the fitness of both Thiago and Jordan Henderson will be tested before kick-off. It's just 1 loss from the last 11 opening day league games for Liverpool. Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool have scored 19 goals in their 5 opening games of the season. Mohamed Salah could be a player to back as an anytime scorer today having scored on each of the last 4 Premier League seasons.
The head-to-head meetings doesn't make for pleasant reading for Norwich fans with Liverpool unbeaten in the last 14 Premier League encounters. This is added to by the fact Liverpool have won each of their last 7 visits to Carrow Road. The 18 times these two sides have met in the Premier League have produced an average of 3.83 goals per game. I'm going to have to back a solid Liverpool win with plenty of goals flying around.

3.0 for Pliskova ???? 
I love Świątek but 3.00 for me is great value. 

No, can't trust any of them. Isner will do his serving, makes life difficult for anyone. Nadal is not at his best and could get in trouble. 

One bet and one winner again on Saturday to continue the good run of form. Usually the season has finished by now, but we still have another month to go with the season having started late. We have a full fixture list on Bank Holiday Monday to look forward to in the National League with Sutton v Notts County live on BT on Tuesday tea time. I have 4 bets for Monday.
Boreham Wood v Kings Lynn
I know Boreham Wood love to draw, but the fact they haven't had to play since last Saturday is key for me because Kings Lynn have played two games since then. They only have a small squad and they are feeling the effects of such a busy period. They did draw 0-0 on Saturday, Maidenhead have been leggy in games as well so it is no surprise that was more of a balanced affair. They have been conceding plenty of goals and although Wood haven't scored in 4 games now they do have goals in them and I suspect they will get a few chances to score here. I am going to take them on the -1 at 6/4.
Dagenham & Redbridge v Woking
Dagenham have really found their form of late and they are playing really well. They have won their last 4 on the bounce now and compared to earlier in the season they are now scoring goals. They have netted 10 in that run and they will surely fancy their chances of adding a few against a Woking side who are desperate for the season to finish. They have picked up just 1 point in their last 9 games and in their 8 losses they have conceded at least twice in 6 of them. I would make them 1/2 chances so even at a shade of odds on I am happy to play. I am also going to cover the -1 handicap.
Maidenhead v Wrexham
As I mentioned earlier Maidenhead continuing to look very tired in games and they could struggle to hold of a Wrexham side who need the points to stay in the play-offs. I think the Welsh side will have too much for their hosts here and I am happy to play at 6/4
Stockport v Wealdstone
I don't really need to write too much here as Stockport really should be putting at least 3 or 4 past Wealdstone here. They have been conceding goals for fun and Stockport have been scoring them for fun. Granted they only got 1 on Saturday, but going to Halifax is a very different story from hosting Wealdstone. The -2 handicap looks worthy of a play.
Boreham Wood -1 2pts @ 6/4 with Betfred
Dagenham & Redbridge 4pts @ 10//11 with William Hill
Dagenham & Redbridge -1 1pt @ 13/5 with Betfred
Wrexham 1pt @ 6/4 with William Hill
Stockport -2 2pts @ 7/5 with Betfair

A rare Saturday where I wont be putting any bets up. Only 4 games at Step 2 have prices and none make any appeal and there are only 6 games left at Step 1. A couple were tempting, but I don't want to force anything so will be taking the day off.
