The first ever EurAsia Cup is the highlight of the golfing world this week as some big names of the game congregate in Kuala Lumpur for the event.

The team matchplay event, which pits Europe against Asia, has been welcomed by the likes of Graeme McDowell, who have spoken of how the tournament should help Europe’s preparations for the Ryder Cup later in the year.

Our vastly expanded tennis service, which will see provide in-play betting on around 10,000 matches throughout 2014, this week takes in the ATP and WTA Miami.

Andy Murray’s struggles this season continued last night as he was dumped out of the quarter-finals by Novak Djokovic, meaning the Scot is now ranked as low as eighth in the world.

It means Djokovic will next face Kei Nishikori, who disposed of Roger Federer.

Murray will be left to focus on Great Britain’s Davis Cup tie with Italy next month. We have Italy 1/2 for the win with GB 6/4.

Murray’s drop in form of late has been indicated in our updated long term outright fixed odds prices for the second major of the season, the French Open. Rafael Nadal is 8/11, Novak Djokovic 15/8, Stan Warwinka 14/1, Roger Federer 16/1, David Ferrer 22/1 and Murray now a distant 33/1.

60,000 tickets have been sold and the hype is already building for Froch v Groves 2 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 31st.

So who will prevail in the second showdown? Our traders have Froch the 4/7 favourite, Groves a 6/4 shot and the draw 25/1. Fight Minutes are priced at 26 – 27.5 meaning our traders think the fight will again finish at around the ninth round.
