We're continuing our ATP Finals predictions with Friday's final group-stage matches at the O2 Arena in London and are looking to follow yesterday's winning 17/2 double with an 8/1 shot today.

After a fortnight dogged by dodgy weather and tough conditions, the French Open has thrown up the men's singles final everyone was hoping for. King of clay Rafael Nadal will bid to reign supreme at Roland Garros for the 13th time, while world No 1 Novak Djokovic is unbeaten in 2020. More...

Iga Swiatek has simply been on a different level to any other female player at this year's French Open and is taken to brush aside Sofia Kenin in the women's singles final. Australian Open champion Kenin will try to turn this contest into a battle of wills, but we fear she will be totally outgunned. More...

We're continuing our French Open predictions with selections for the men's semi-finals at Roland Garros and reckon both underdogs can be competitive. Punters can get a bwin price boost of 5/2 for each of the outsiders to win at least one set and that looks a value bet in tough conditions. More...

Victoria Azarenka lost out to Serena Williams in the 2012 and 2013 US Open finals but is fancied to gain some revenge in this year's semis. The 31-year-old from Belarus has looked in imperious form at Flushing Meadows, whereas Williams has had to battle through a series of gruelling encounters. More...

Alexander Zverev is fast becoming a man for the big occasion and is tipped to reach the US Open final by seeing off Pablo Carreno Busta. The German has put a poor run of form on the ATP Tour behind him at Flushing Meadows and can have too many weapons for his game, but outgunned opponent. More...

We're continuing our US Open predictions with four picks on day 10 at Flushing Meadows in New York which will hopefully give us a 13/5 accumulator. There are no fans present at this year's grand slam tournament, but that hasn't stopped players from providing plenty of thrills and spills. More...

Tennis is defined by moments of brilliance and excitement, and if you’re one of those fans who doesn’t want to miss a single ace or break point, then you should definitely expand your Grand Slam knowledge.

Few would have forecast an Australian Open final between Garbine Muguruza and Sofia Kenin at the start of the tournament Down Under, but the refreshingly unpredictable nature of women’s tennis means we could have a first-time grand slam champion in Melbourne on Saturday. More...

Serena Williams has lost three straight grand slam finals since becoming a mother but is fancied to buck that trend when facing Bianca Andreescu at the US Open. The 37-year-old is a six-time champion at Flushing Meadows and has looked somewhere near back to her incredible best in New York. More...

Rafael Nadal has been relentless in his pursuit of a fourth US Open title and we can't see Daniil Medvedev standing in his way at Flushing Meadows. The Russian has been ultra-consistent over the past couple of months but was demolished 6-3 6-0 by Nadal in a recent Montreal decider. More...

Novak Djokovic was our pre-tournament pick for Wimbledon glory and he is still fancied to win the final at the expense of Roger Federer.

Novak Djokovic has been outstanding in London, but we're backing Alexander Zverez to give him a decent work-out. Zverev was beaten 6-4 6-1 by the world number one during the group stage, but he did have a slight chance to upset the Serbian superstar at 4-4 in the opening set. More...
