Australian Open - Mens Semi-Finals

Marin Cilic (14) v Andrew Murray (5) (Seedings)

Murray is the heavy favourite going into today's first Semi-Final, he is a best price of 1/5 with Bet365, Cilic can be backed at 4/1 with Sportingbet to cause another upset.

The last time the two players met was in New York in last years US Open, were Cilic won in straight sets. Murray claims to not be motivated by revenge saying "I was obviously disappointed about what happened at the US Open. I was feeling good going into it. It wasn't the way I would have liked to have lost."

"Everyone talks about that a lot, about revenge. But you just go out there and every day's a different day in tennis."

"I think that I can win the match regardless of what happened at the US Open, if I play well, focus hard and concentrate, then there's no reason why I can't beat him again."

The match starts at 8.30am, UK time and is live on BBC2 and Eurosport.

2010 General Election Betting

In the Houses of Parliament this week, PMQs was its usual boisterous self with Cameron and Brown attacking each other as usual, and as usual neither man answering any questions.

Brown attacked Cameron over his lack of substance on policies, while Cameron attacked Brown over his lack of popularity with his fellow collegues and again called for him to stop dithering and call the election.

Oh yes, and in case you didn't guess it, he again asked Brown about his promise to put an end to 'Boom and Bust'.

I think we may as well get used to hearing that over the next few weeks! All in all not much to report.

In terms of betting, the best odds are still the same, just the bookmakers have changed.
