AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2010 WOMENS OUTRIGHT BETTING TIPS

After the shock loss of Maria Sharapova in her opening fixture at the tournament, things were definitely shaken up a bit. However, the favourites position is still tilted heavily in favour of Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters who are both trading at 11/4 margins. Justine Henin remains the other very strong challenger and she trades just behind them at a 9/2 price.
Elena Dementieva sits at 9/1 while Venus Williams can be backed at 10/1. Jelena Jankovic sits at 14/1 while Caroline Wozniacki can be backed alongside Dinara Safina at a 16/1 price tag.
There is a distinctly smaller field than the men’s group, and this one does look a bit more open. Other notable prices include Samantha Stosur at 50/1, Victoria Azarenka at 20/1, Svetlana Kuznetsova at 25/1 and Nadia Petrova at 100/1.
In the early stages of the tournament, it can be pretty difficult to actually get competitive prices on the match betting when the fixture involves a player you’ve actually heard of before. It will be a similar story here for another few days before we start to get down to the nitty-gritty aspects of the tournament.
I feel as though Serena is a justifiable favourite here and, although Clijsters is a very talented performer, I think that Serena’s game is more well-rounded and if she plays to her best, I think she will be supremely difficult to stop.
Keep in mind that 888sports is offering up each-way betting of 1/2 odds on the top 2 places. This is a great way to make longer-odds selections like Venus Williams and Safina pay out well just by making the final!
