Still, with the non-sporting TV action dominated by ancient Ken Barlow's stomach-turning extra marital affairs over on Coronation Street, it's much safer to train your eyes on the Miami Masters, instead.

Andy Murray faces Olympic champion Nicolas Massu with the Brit a massive odds-on favourite. He's unbackable, even to win in straight sets, despite finding the humid conditions tough to handle in his opening match against Juan Monaco, and could well require three sets to oust the wily Chilean.

Even so, like with the aforementioned Barlow, it's wise to avoid that match and concentrate on the all-Spanish clash between Feliciano Lopez and Aussie Open semi-finalist Fernando Verdasco.

The duo have met on four previous occasions with the score locked at 2-2, but crucially both of Lopez's wins have come on hard courts. Verdasco hasn't really kicked on from his Melbourne heroics, and big-serving lefty Lopez could spring a surprise.

Recommended bet: F Lopez to beat F Verdasco, 11-4 (bet365).
