The pre-Wimbledon warm-up continues with ATP action at the AEGON Open in Nottingham, and Eastbourne is the venue for the WTA tour. David Ferrer (9/2) and Petra Kvitova (5/2) are the betting favourites for the respective tournaments, but do you fancy anything at bigger prices? POST YOUR OUTRIGHT SELECTIONS BELOW!!

Tuesday's NAP at the AEGON International at Eastbourne: Back Samantha Stosur to beat Tsvetana Pironkova @ 19/20 with >888Sport. World number 44 Tsvetana Pironkova’s straight-sets victory over Marina Erakovic on Monday means she’ll be in the second-round at Eastbourne for the first-time, having not passed the opening round of the tournament on her pervious eight visits. The 27-year-old comes up against Australian Samantha Stosur on Tuesday, a three-time semi-finalist at Eastbourne. The world number 22 and 2011 U.S. Open champion will be competing in her first grass-court match of the season, but won her first tournament of the year last month in Strasbourg and is unbeaten against Tuesday’s opponent. Stosur has a 4-0 head-to-head record against Pironkova, and her second-round opponent has yet to take a single set off her in their four previous encounters. The pair last faced each-other at the Australian Open last year, Stosur winning by a very comfortable 6-2, 6-0 margin.

Lucie Safarova- Dominika Cibulkova Lucie Safarova served us incredibly well at Roland Garros (preview from one of her early matches there can be found below) and has taken a well earned rest since making the final there and it might take her a little while to find her feet on grass, but she could hardly ask for a better opponent today and I suspect Lucie will want to win a couple of matches here at Eastbourne, so that she can take some confidence on the surface into Wimbledon , where she has a lot of points to defend, having made the semis last year. She lost at this stage here leading up to that, but it was 7-6 in the third to two time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova and she had played Birmingham the week previously, so motivated for a win or two this week, just to blow those clay cobwebs away. She beat Dominika Cibulkova in R3 at Wimbledon last year (4&2), where she allowed her diminutive opponent just three break points and only 11 winners. Safarova is 7-1 against players under 1.67m since the start of last year and really ought to have too many guns for Cibulkova, who is another player we have done well with, but not on this surface, which doesn't play to her strengths as well as others. Also , she has not played at all since Antwerp , which was well over four months ago, following achilles surgery, until this week. She did win yesterday, but could have probably seen off 18 yo wild card Harriet Dart who is ranked outside the top 350 on one leg , she will face a far sterner test today and I suspect the new number 6 in the world is too much, too soon, at this stage of Cibulkova's comeback. Lucie Safarova -4 games 1.91 Pinnacle/Sportmarket Pro......2-0 in sets would have to be the alternative.

I have a bet on Stanislas Wawrinka @ 19.32 (Matchbook).

Sorry AMichael for not reading your post correctly, my bet on Stanislas Wawrinka is for Wimbledon.

Alas, maybe you should have checked before getting in with a large sum. I made a play on Taylor Fritz because another popular tipsters elsewhere recommended it. PCB is just coming back from a challenger level victory in Italy, he landed yesterday into Great Britain. So not only is he very tired but also he has played only 1 match on grass in his entire life. What's more he was playing junior World Number 1 in Taylor Harry who has made the semis at Wimbledon last year and has been practicing in grass for the last 2 weeks. He has a big serve and forehand and played very well to beat a tired and not motivated PCB. The rankings don't do justice always!

Sorry AMichael for not reading your post correctly' date=' my bet on Stanislas Wawrinka is for Wimbledon.[/quote'] No problem at all - Good luck with your bet on Stan for Wimbledon. Gutted the magic shorts won't be making an appearance at SW19 though!! :cry

Wednesday's NAP at ATP Nottingham: Back Alexander Zverev to win a set against Marcos Baghdatis @ 8/11 with >William Hill. 18-year-old Alexander Zverev is a two-time ATP Challengers winner, one of which came on home-soil at Heilbronn last month, and the teenager is only ranked 17 places below his round of 16 opponent in the official ATP rankings. Zverev has already upset the bigger names at the start of this grass-court season, beating betting favourite and soon to be retired Jarkko Nieminen in straight-sets in Halle last week, along with winning two sets of tennis against Viktor Troicki and Ivo Karlovic. Of the 40 matches Zverev has played in 2015, he has failed to win a set in only nine of them. Marcos Baghdatis is hardly the most reliable on a tennis court and in truth David Ferrer squandered many opportunities to win the second-set and force a decider against the 30-year-old on Tuesday, so the 8/11 on offer with >William Hill for Zverev to win a set looks an attractive betting proposition.

Wednesday WTA Eastbourne 24.06: Sloane Stephens- Heather Watson Heather Watson leads the h2h 4-1, but there have only been two recent meetings and Sloane Stephens took the last of those just a few weeks ago, winning 2&4 at Roland Garros and even that scoreline doesn't do justice to the superiority of the American player in that match, she dominated all stats and the defeat could have been even more emphatic. I spoke about Stephens and how she looked a lot happier ahead of her meeting at RG with Serena Williams ......Sloane Stephens is a complex individual and often seems unhappy on court and has been accused of "giving up" in minor events, she has the all round game and athleticism to be a top ten player at least and most tennis watchers cited her as the next big thing when she burst onto the scene as a teenager, the new "Serena" tag was a bit of a curse she had to live with and her game has not quite kicked on as all would have hoped, she is top 30 instead of top 10 right now, which is where she should be. There have been signs that she is starting to get things back on track, she took Serena close in Indian Wells and has not been troubled at Roland Garros, where she had a lot of success as a junior, through three rounds. She seems a little happier off court, both with her love life and with coach Nick Saviano who looks a better fit for her, she was with him as a teenager and it has been a bit of a return to basics over the last six months and I feel we are starting to see the fruition of this and also perhaps a return to 100% fitness, SS has had a few issues in recent years and was troubled especially by a left wrist injury for some time, this is the first year since her breakthrough that she has really be able to work flat out ahead of the big summer slams . This is the fourth straight year she has made R4 in Paris and after sticking close to Stosur, Sharapova and Halep in each, she can perhaps take it up a notch and run Serena even closer, Williams has not been as formidable on serve through the first week, making a lot of df's and at the very least, I see Stephens taking seven games. That was all over in terms of the handicap early , with Stephens winning the first set 6-1 , before Serena took it in the third, but she was mighty close to going out in straight sets, but as we know, Serena likes to live on the edge ! Stephens has won two matches here already and looked very solid against Carla Suarez Navarro yesterday, who is always a tough opponent. SS was again fast out of the blocks ( taking the first set 6-1) and her second serve was in very fine shape. Watson admitted to being nervous in her three opening matches on grass, saying that she felt real pressure in front of her home crowd and more anxious than at any time in her career, she has managed to win two, but lost the opening set in two and the other went to a tie break and with Stephens making a very nice habit of starting quickly, this could get away from Watson almost before it has begun. The British player has already given up 23 break points here and I am strongly in the Stephens side of the court. I will suggest Sloane Stephens to win 2-0 in sets @ circa 2.30 general quote........2.40 with Pinnacle Sports/Sportmarket Pro, -3 games is an alternative .

Wozniacki to beat Kuznetsova with -3.5 games handicap @2.00 Ladbrokes Stake : 10/10 Grass is not Kuznetsova's favorite surface.She has won only 1 grass court tournament in her career and that was in 2004.We can say unforced errors is a part of Kuznetsova's game because of playing so aggressively almost every single point.They had a grass court match in 2008 and wozniacki have won the match very easily with a score 6-2 ; 6-2....If this was clay court or slow-hard court match ; Kuznetsova should have been the favorite of this match.But on grass Kuznetsova's game won't be enough to beat Wozniacki.Wozniacki's defence will be enough for win ; she doesn't have to hit winners.Because in my opinion ; Kuznetsova will make a lot of unforced errors compared to wozniacki.

Wozniacki to beat Petkovic with -3.5 games handicap @1.73 Totesport Stake: 10/10 At head to head statistics Wozniacki leads 3-1..Last week Siniakova beat Petkovic.Grass is not Petkovic's favorite surface.This match will be similar to Kuznetsova vs Wozniacki match.Petkovic plays aggressively almost every point.And because of that she is making too many unforced errors.Like the Kuznetsova match , Wozniacki doesn't have to hit winners to win this match.Petkovic's unforced errors will be enough for Wozniacki's win.Wozniacki have won this tournament in 2009.Also she played semi final last year.If we look at the head to head statistics ; we see that Woznacki beat Petkovic on clay which is Petkovic's favorite surface.I think on grass ; Wozniacki will beat Petkovic very easily.

Bencic vs Wozniacki Selection : Bencic +4.5 games Odd: @1.80 Bet365 Stake: 10/10 Bencic is in good form.She beat last year's champion Madison Keys.Also She won the first set against Bouchard.The given handicap is acceptable.I don't think Bencic will make too many unforced errors like Kuznetsova.This year Bencic beat Wozniacki at Indian Wells which is slow hard court.So in my opinion , she has a chance on grass too.She improved her game compared to last year.She won the Wimbledon in category of Girls' Single.Moreover Wozniacki spent more than 2 hours in Kuznetsova match.To conclude ; Bencic is more ready than Wozniacki.

Hey folks! Quick question: do you know the reason why Bacsinszky did not play a single match since RG? Is it because of an injury? I did not hear anything about her recently...

[owenclass]

Denis Istomin vs Sam Querrey over 25.5 games 4/5 paddy power It seems nearly all the matches this week have tight with most of them going to a third set and i think this match will be close even though im surprised the Querry has played so well this week There is not much between them and we could get a few tie breaks Agnieszka Radwanska vs Belinda Bencic over 20.5 games 4/5 paddy power Well this match is probably going to be as tight as the mens final You have got the experienced player playing against the young talented players so this is a fascinating match up

[bet_man]

Bencic vs Radwanska Selection : Bencic +5.5 games Odd: @1.53 Pinnaclesports Stake: 10/10 Bencic spent less energy compared to Radwanska on her way to final.Both Wozniacki and Bouchard retired from the matches against Bencic.On the other hand Radwanska played a long match yesterday.I don't see any reason for Radwanska's comfortable win.This will be a close match.Bencic can take a set.If Bencic stays calm ; she has a great chance in this match.
