Janko Tipsarevic looks a huge price to beat Marin Cilic @ 2.88 in the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington. The Serb won their most recent meeting last meeting last month to make inroads into the Croat's 3:1 H2H. Tipsarevic has been in stand-out form for the last couple of weeks and is on his best run for a long time. Cilic is still finding his feet after a short period with no tennis, whereas Tipsy is in great rhythm and is good value in a match which could be decided on tie-breaks.

In the Mercury Insurance Open, Agnieszka Radwanska takes on Shahar Peer in what is likely to not be a great match for tennis purists. Both players tend to favour counter-punching, which never makes for a great match in the error-laden ladies' tour. Peer leads the H2H 3:1 and is odds-against - in a match which is bound to be tight, and with the H2H; Peer is definitely worth a punt here.

NJ's Bets:

Tipsarevic to beat Cilic - 2.5pts @ 2.88 (Sky Bet )

Peer to beat Radwanska - 3pts @ 2.4 (Betfair )
