    Pablo Carreno-Busta to beat Bradley Klahn at 1.60 with Unibet
    As I've already said, I'm not particularly thrilled about these events for some reason, but this is a bet that I quite like for today. Honestly, I think that Klahn is being overhyped big time. He's a solid American, no doubts about that, but PCB has more quality in every single department apart from the serve. Not a lock by any stretch, but I was expecting PCB to be around the 1.40 mark.

    Bertens to beat Wozniacki at 2.26 with Pinnacle
    Sorry for short analisys but my english is bad :/ Kiki have great run in Montreal and we bet for her when he played against Barty . I was shocked when she lose 2:0 but now in Cincinnati she play very good against Vandeweghe and win very easy. Wozniacki after unsuccesfuly Wimbledon lost to Sabalenka .In my opinion she don`t have form and Kiki can beat her like in Madrid this year

    Robin Haase (-1.5 sets) to beat Filip Krajinovic at 2.50 with Pinnacle
    Filips first match after Wimbledon ended in a straight sets loss to Karen Khachanov and this one wont be any easier. Robin can be very efficient in serving and he's always dangerous with stable play from the baseline. I don't trust Filip on faster hardcourts either since it's obvious from his stats on the challenger tour that he isn't a hardcourt player. Clay is his best surface. Robin should take this in straight sets.

    Diego Schwartzman (-1.5 sets) to beat Stan Wawrinka at 2.95 with Pinnacle
    I would like to point out that a player doing well in one tournament often goes out in straight sets in the tournament afterwards and this is something I think I'll have a try on in this match. @CzechPunter taking your bet one step further feels good here since I belive Stan will have his hands full in the rallies and it will likely be to mutch in the end for Stan to cope with. Like you've said the injury issues are still there and I still don't think Stan is at 100%. My prediction will be Stan to play at a lower level than he did in Toronto and Diego wont have to do all that mutch to break Stan down in the rallies.

    Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (vs.Krunic) + Kyle Edmund (vs. McDonald) at 1.86 with Bet365
    Wawrinka did some impressive stuff against Nadal, but it's hard to believe that he's going to repeat that again against Schwartzman, the injury issues are still there and it remains to be seen whether he's really back or whether that was just a strangely good performance. Schwartzman will be there with at least some consistency. Meanwhile, Krunic and McDonald have been really poor for a while, so I feel that taking them on in a double could be a good idea.

    Barcelona vs Sevilla
    Apologies, I was planning to get this preview up yesterday but I've been having internet issues due to the heavy rain we've had here in Wales. Anyway, just fitting in a quick one now before kick-off before getting the league preview up later this week. La Liga champions Barcelona go up against the Copa Del Rey runners-up Sevilla in this Super Cup match that kicks off at 9pm tonight at the Stade Ibn Batouta in Tangiers, Morocco.
    Ernesto Valverde will be looking to build on last season and has brought in a number of improvements to the squad. It will be interesting to see how they cope without the legendary Andres Iniesta this season after his departure. The arrival of Arthur Melo from Gremio, Clement Lenglet from Sevilla, Malcolm from Bordeaux, and Arturo Vidal from Bayern Munich should bolster their squad strength.
    Pablo Machin will begin his reign as Sevilla manager after being appointed back in May with a baptism of fire here. The former Girona head coach was a strange choice for the job with a win ratio of less than 44% at the Spanish side but he must have impressed the Sevilla hierarchy after leading Girona to 10th place and just 7 points off European competition.
    There have been big name arrivals and departures over the summer. The club has raked in over €60 million in transfer fees from the exits of players such as Lenglet, Sergio Rico, and Joaquin Correa. Rico did leave on a free but his wages will have freed up some spending power.
    Machin has been quick to bring in fresh blood. He spent €55 million on new additions including Ibrahim Amadou from Lille, Aleix Vidal from Barcelona, Joris Gnagnon from Rennes, and Andre Silva on loan from AC Milan. It'll be fascinating to see how such wholesale changes affect the club.
    I'm going to have to back Barcelona to win well here. A team such as Sevilla cannot make so many alterations to their management and squad without needing time to bed them in. Barcelona are settled and they've strengthened wisely. The signing of Malcolm is particularly exciting and Vidal should plug the hole left by Iniesta... partially at least.

    Sorry mate, just seeing this. Been absorbed by the build-up to Cardiff's return to the Premier League. They have brought in youngster Joe Rodon as second centre back today after selling the rest. He's inexperienced but highly rated by those within the Welsh football set-up. Tipped as a future regular international. The Swans will still be play-off contenders with the squad and manager they have. Even if they fail to add greatly before the transfer window closes. Think you've done well to back them.

    Nottingham Forest vs Reading
    The final preview from this round of Championship matches is the 3pm kick-off from the City Ground where Nottingham Forest play Reading. Neither side managed a win in their first matches of the season so this is a huge opportunity to get their first three points of the campaign.
    Aitor Karanka's side played in midweek and despite dominating the game were held to a 1-1 draw against West Brom after the away side scored their equaliser in the 87th minute. It was a disappointing result and compounded by the fact the Tricky Trees failed to beat Bristol City in their opening game last weekend. Four points dropped after just two games is not an ideal start for a side that are aiming for bigger and better things this season.
    Paul Clement's reign as Reading continued in an underwhelming manner with their opening day loss to Derby. Yes, it can be argued they didn't deserve to lose but the lack of cutting edge quality in the final third remains an issue for the Royals. That could be a problem in this game. Forest have lost only one of their last eight home matches. Form at the City Ground is building.
    I'm not saying alarm bells will start ringing for either side with a defeat here but there is already an element of awareness entering into the minds of their fans and that will remain until the first win. I really like the look of this Forest side. If new signing Michael Hefele can be half as good as he was for Huddersfield in the Championship then he could be a game changer. His presence at the back could help to shut out those sloppy goals they're conceding.
    In my opinion, this is a game where Forest possess the stronger squad, the better manager, and home advantage. I can't see anything other than a home win. I think Forest will make amends for the missed chances in midweek and will be more deadly in front of goal here. Lewis Grabban and Daryl Murphy are born finishers at this level and I feel this could be another game where one, or both, of them score. I'm going to gamble here and push for a Forest win by at least two goals. I know, I've gone mad. I just fancy taking a big of a risk here.

    Aston Villa vs Wigan
    The first preview I have picked this week in the Championship is an intriguing one indeed. Losing play-off finalists from last season Aston Villa host Championship new boys Wigan at Villa Park in a 3pm kick-off on Saturday afternoon. Both teams started their campaign with a win and both teams scored three goals in their victories.
    Steve Bruce defied the odds by guiding his team to a convincing 3-1 win away to Hull last weekend. His former stomping ground delivered much needed relief from a turbulent summer. The news that highly-rated midfielder Jack Grealish is set to stay at the club for the time being was also a welcome boost. A return to home turf now has them down as favourites but will it be an easy three points?
    In Paul Cook, I believe Wigan have one of the most talented managers in the Football League. He's added experience to what was already a capable side over the summer. Their opening day 3-2 win over Sheffield Wednesday at home took some by surprise but it showed how they could be play-off dark horses this season.
    The Villains will provide stern opposition for the Latics here. Villa have only lost 3 of their last 25 league matches at home. It was the foundation for their play-off push last season. Yes, they've not been able to bring in any players to strengthen the squad but I think John Terry leaving will allow Tommy Elphick to shine and if Bruce can keep things settled behind the scenes then Villa could emerge as promotion contenders.
    For this game, I think Wigan will give it a good go but Villa will likely have too much. Both teams showed they have attacking prowess and I think we could see goals once again here. If I had to take a punt on correct score then I'd go for a 2-1 win for Villa in what could be an enthralling Championship match.

    Kiki Bertens to beat Ashleigh Barty at 1.83
    Ok, I'll preface this by saying I'm a Kiki Bertens fan, so maybe I'm a bit biased, but I have been impressed that she has scored two top 10 wins (over Pliskova and Kvitova) this week, both by a 2-0 scoreline. As hard court isn't her favoured surface, these are stunning results. Barty has also won in convincing fashion this week but against lower-ranked players, so I think Bertens deserves to be slight favourite.

    Grigor Dimitrov to beat Kevin Anderson at 2.21 with Pinnacle
    Kevin isn't serving at his best right now. He's a bit lower in his standard than usual. He made up for it with good baseline play in his last match but that was only what was enough to beat Ilya Ivashka but Grigor can do a lot more damage than Ilya did. Grigor also owns a 6-1 record in this matchup having won all last 5 meetings with last one being in Stockholm 2016. Grigor seems to have picked up some form in Toronto that I haven't seen from him all season so I think he'll beat Kevin again. It's at least more likely than the odds suggest so at 2.21 I'm more than happy to bet on the bulgarian.

    Duckhee Lee to beat Yibing Wu at 2.29 with Pinnacle
    Pretty good chance that Duckhee wins this. Not because he is higher ranked but more because of Yibings recent injury problems, he's just started to come back and it will probably take some time for him to find his game again. He was good against Henri Laaksonen last week but one good performance is not enough to convince me that he can beat Duckhee.

    Masha can blitz through this just like she's done in her two previous matches in Toronto. By giving Dasha Kasatkina three chances to break serve in one game of second set and saving them all I think Masha has a glorious opportunity to take this in 2 sets. She's on a roll and when Masha is on a roll you step in on her.

    I think Aryna should get her chances in this match. Caroline is a bit doubtful with her game now probably having needed to withdraw last week and coming this without matchpractice on hardcourt since Miami/Indian Wells. She'll probably have enough problems on her own serve for Aryna to get a break somewhere. It was a close match when they met in Eastbourne and it will likely be closer this time.
