Benaldo1981's Tips

24th February 2026
13:00 Players Championship 5

Gerwyn Price

50 WIN

+500

Back it

Price looks the best of this bunch and is backed to take this tournament and give himself a lift ahead of Thursday's Premier League.

Josh Rock

25 EW

+1000

Back it

Rock is considered at this price as he just strikes me as the sort of player that really needs this and he's a decent each-way price to reach the final here.
14:30 Alexei Popyrin vs Kamil Majchrzak

Kamil Majchrzak

Win Match

50 WIN

+100

Back it

With just 1 win and 6 defeats so far this season I think Popyrin can be taken on here. Majchrzak's hard court form probably good enough to land this.
15:00 Ugo Humbert vs Stefanos Tsitsipas

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Win Match

50 WIN

+100

Back it

Tsitsipas looks the most likely winner of htis and is one of a number of players at around this price that I fancy to tin through today.
17:00 Anastasia Zakharova vs Mary Stoiana

Mary Stoiana

Win Match

50 WIN

+110

Back it

I think Stoiana looks a good bet here. She's far better on this surface and even though she comes in behind her opponents on the rankings, she's probably marginally better on the hardcourts.
17:00 Francesca Jones vs Peyton Stearns

Francesca Jones

Win Match

50 WIN

+209

Back it

I think Fran Jones is a decent value play here. Stearns has had a losing record on this surface for the last two seasons and Jones is now just eleven places away in the rankings.
17:30 Mariano Navone vs Vit Kopriva

Vit Kopriva

Win Match

50 WIN

+137

Back it

With a run all the way to the semis in Rio, Kopriva should be backed to advance here. Navone hasn't really got going this season and is readily taken on
18:00 Magdalena Frech vs Maria Timofeeva

Maria Timofeeva

Win Match

50 WIN

+175

Back it

Frech failed to really fire last season and hasn't upped her game suitably enough to be this heavily faovured for me. I think Timofeeva is a tempting price for the win.
20:00 Cristina Bucsa vs Donna Vekic

Cristina Bucsa

Win Match

50 WIN

+137

Back it

Poor start to season for Bucsa but with Vekic not at her best ont his surface I think this represents a good opportunity for Bucsa to bounce back
20:00 Thiago Agustin Tirante vs Ignacio Buse

Ignacio Buse

Win Match

50 WIN

+110

Back it

Buse should probably be the favourite in this one as he seems to have the better clay court record and statitstically has the edge.
23:00 Terence Atmane vs Grigor Dimitrov

Terence Atmane

Win Match

50 WIN

+275

Back it

Sluggish start to the year for both players, but Dimitrov has particularly dipped in recent weeks. Atmane at least progressed past a round in Delray Beach last week.
25th February 2026
00:00 Adrian Mannarino vs Sho Shimabukuro

Sho Shimabukuro

Win Match

50 WIN

+135

Back it

Three defeats out of three on the hard courts for Mannarino, so Shimabukuro, who has been in much better form in this sphere is backable at this price.
00:00 Casper Ruud vs Yibing Wu

Yibing Wu

Win Match

50 WIN

+189

Back it

Ruud hasn't really set the world alight at the start of the 2026 season, so Wu, who has a solid hard court record at lower grade tournaments, might be good enough to step up here.
19:45 Norwich v Sheff Wed

Sheff Wed

50 WIN

+1400

Back it

Wednesday pushed United all the way on Sunday and even though they are down, they might be able to pull out a result or two now they've already gone down and the pressure is alll on the other team to try and get the results.
26th February 2026
19:15 Luke Littler vs Jonny Clayton

Jonny Clayton

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

+300

Back it

Clayton has shown some decent darts so far this season including picking up a night victory, so is value at this price to cause the upset.
19:45 Stephen Bunting vs Luke Humphries

Stephen Bunting

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

+225

Back it

Bunting is a considered at this price as he's got the potential to match Humphries scoring. He just needs to have the ability to outscore him in the doubles.
1st March 2026
19:00 Welsh Open 2026

Mark Selby

50 WIN

+500

Back it

I think one of Selby or Xintong will win the Welsh Open. They both seem to be slightly ahead of the rest of the pack heading into the critical tournaments just before the World Championship starts after Easter.

Zhao Xintong

25 EW

+450

Back it

Zhao is proving to be a really formidable threat at the moment. With the Worlds around the corner, he'll be keen to keep his great form going. It's either Selby or Zhao to win this for me.
