Cruz Hewitt looks an even better prospect then his Dad

Big call, Lleyton had already won an ATP title at Cruz’ age and was number 1 at age 20 (at the time the youngest number 1)

The World Number 30 in the same corresponding match last year turns the tables.

De Minaur drops -1 spot to 7 in the world, now off to Montreal for the ATP Masters 1000 in Montreal

where he has a bye in the first round, to then play either

James Duckworth or a qualifier in R2.

Alexandra Eala has reached her first-ever WTA 500 final at the Mubadala DC Open in Washington, D.C., by defeating former world number one Naomi Osaka in the SF and Elina Svitolina in the QF. You don't beat this calibre of players if you're not a good player.

Pegula is Miss Consistent but I think Eala wins in a tight 3 set battle she is in red hot form. $2.40 odds is good value and even better odds if you do set betting.

Taylah Preston has captured the biggest title of her career in Vancouver - and she did it in historic fashion, battling fellow Western Australian Maddison Inglis in the first all-Aussie WTA 125 final.
