Serve, volley, forehand, backhand, lob, smash, the King of Spain, Bonnie Prince Andy - it's all on Betfair Live Video.

This is, according to one Betting.Betfair writer, "silly season" in the tennis calendar.

If so then Betfair Live Video be the channel of buffoonary this week as we home-in on the Madrid Masters where, fresh from victory in Stockholm last week, David Nalbandian will be out to retain his crown.

The Argentinian will face significant competition from the King of Spain himself, Rafael Nadal. This has been a great year for the Spaniard and he will be determined to cap it with a home victory. Another man looking bullish on the eve of Madrid is Andy Murray and some tipsters reckon the Brit could mount a serious challenge and go one better in Madrid than he did in New York.

But the reason it's being called the silly season is because this is the portion of the tennis calendar when we can expect shocks (oxymoron?). Which can mean big value or red faces depending on whether you back big players for small gains or small names for big prices. And remember, we've had two unseeded winners in the last week.

If none of that racket appeals, on Wednesday we've got the best of the World Cup Qualifiers from Europe, Asia and South America.

At the weekend there's domestic football from Brazil, Japan, Russia and Italy - including a top of
Serie A clash between Roma and Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan.

Look Homeward, Angels!
