Rickspit's Tips History

22 May 2025

17:00 Matteo Arnaldi vs Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic

Win Match

200 WIN

@1.30

Win

Djokovic is a veteran of the sport with multiple Grand Slam wins. He's the obvious favorite here even though he lost to Arnaldi in the opening round at the Madrid Open.

16:25 4:25 Yarmouth

Shaw Park

Daily Racing

250 EW

@6.50

Win

Form figures 216221. The last 3 results on turf, most recently holding on over C&D good to firm last week. Incurs a 5lb penalty, but Taryn Langley takes off 7lb. This in-form contender is definitely one for the shortlist.

14:47 2:47 Haydock

-182

Green was beaten on debut last month. He was sent off at 6/4, and it wouldn't be a surprise if this 170k yearling will be a completely different proposition on his second start. Time To Turn looks like the one to beat here, but a good each-way chance.

10:30 Mai Hontama vs Francesca Jones

Francesca Jones

Win Match

200 WIN

@1.17

Win

Francesca Jones is the in-form youngster right now. Winning 5 straight games without losing even 1 set. Although she has lost previously to Hontama, she's the obvious winner here on form alone.

10:00 Magda Linette vs Elena Rybakina

Elena Rybakina

Win Match

300 WIN

@1.20

Win

Rybakina is currently world number 12. While Linette is still inside the top 50, she hasn't beaten anyone in the top 10 for over 2 years. Linette is 3-3 on clay but 0-2 down in head-to-head matches with Rybakina.

09:00 Kathinka Von Deichmann vs Victoria Mboko

Victoria Mboko

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.12

Win

Victoria Mboko is the clear choice here ... she's the much more accomplished clay court player and won 8 out of her previous 10 matches. She's the one to beat here.

09:00 Marin Cilic vs Pol Martin Tiffon

Marin Cilic

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.14

Win

Cilic is a strong favorite here, and it's easy to see why. He's still competitive against most opponents, and although Tiffon is in good form, I don't think he has what it takes to beat the Croatian here.

Has won from off the pace last June (1m3f) off 2lb lower. A modest 3rd on penultimate run and unraced on this short of trip. Good each-way chance. Beltane looks the one to beat. But if the first time cheekpieces have an adverse affect then she's (penelopes sister) in with a good chance.

10-year-old who has won here ten times, including on his last two starts. So a hat-trick bid today. Up 4lb, but that might not stop him. A good each-way shout.
