TENNIS
The ATP Montreal in Canada is this week’s televised event and pick of the opening round fixtures could well be the temperamental Nick Kyrgios v Kyle Edmund. Kyrgios is priced at the 15/20 favourite with Edmund 21/20 and it certainly looks like one of the more competitive betting heats on the card
