Coco Gauff only dropped five games in her first-round match. She is ranked sixty-six places higher than her opponent, who overcame Venus Williams in three sets in her opening-round match. The all-around game of Gauff should prove to be too strong for Danilovic.

This should be as straightforward as it gets for world number one Aryna Sabalenka, taking on an opponent who is ranked 701 places lower.

Andrey Rublev is ranked one hundred and thirty-six places higher than his opponent. Rublev is ranked at fifteen, and his opponent is yet to win a match against a player in the top twenty.

Following his success in Brisbane, Daniil Medvedev won his opening round in straight sets. These two players have met twice before, and each time Medvedev has won in straight sets.

MIN Timberwolves are nine places higher in the table than their opponents. They have won four of their five previous visits to UTA Jazz.

The last two times UTA Jazz welcomed MIN Timberwolves each side won once. The game UTA Jazz lost was by a margin of seven points. Today they start with an advantage of twelve points, so another chance for them to get the win.

World number one Carlos Alcaraz is ranked 101 places higher than his opponent. They have met on two previous occasions, with the Spaniard winning both matches in straight sets.

Inferno Sacree has been knocking on the door in each of his three races this season. He opened up with a third at Plumpton and then finished second in each of his last two races. His latest effort was at Taunton over a very similar distance to today, and he was denied by just a nose. Today there should be no issue with conditions, and with the help of a seven-pound claimer on board, Inferno Sacree has every chance of recording his first win of the season.

In his last race, Rukaana put in an improved display to gain his first career win. He won that race by a comfortable six lengths. Even with the nine-pound hike he has gone up in the weights, if taking another step forward he could well gain his second success over hurdles.

Tonight's National League game sees top of the table York City take on third-place Carlisle. Both of these teams are on fifty-six points, with Carlisle having played one game more. When these two teams met earlier in the season at York City's ground, the home side scored five times without reply. York City have won their last four away National League games and have not lost away in the league this season. Carlisle have been strong at home this season and have only lost twice in their last ten home games. However, I'm sticking with York City to do the double.
