Tennis Betting Line:

Samantha Stosur -5 -105 -500 19½ O -130 U -110
Anastasia Rodinova +5 -135 +300 19½ O -130 U -110

Match Time: 06:30 PM Eastern Time (03:30 PM Pacific Time) Wednesday September 1, 2010

Tennis Betting Verdict: Since finishing runner-up at the French Open Stosur hasn’t been as sharp. The disappointment combined with expectations seems to have affected her overall form and understandably so. Nevertheless, Stosur is still considered a solid favourite in the tournament proper, if not a frontrunner. She is set to take on Rodionova in the second round, a meeting that will mark their fifth overall encounter.

Stosur leads the head-to-head series 3-1 and hasn’t lost to the Russian, turned Aussie, since 2005. At -500 Stosur is a good bet. She had a slow start to the tournament but that could be down to nerves, which hopefully have settled after surviving her early round scare.

Tennis Betting Line:

Sally Peers +7½ +105 +1200 16½ O +105 U -145
Kim Clijsters -7½ -145 -5000 16½ O +105 U -145

Match Time: 07:00 PM Eastern Time (04:00 PM Pacific Time) Wednesday September 1, 2010

Tennis Betting Verdict: Mama Clijsters is looking for her 16th straight win at Flushing when she takes on qualifier Sally Peers in the second round. Clijsters is a massive -5000 favourite to win outright. An untouchable price tag that makes her as sure a bet as any player could possibly hope to be. Which leaves only one question in this match, can Peers perform well to make her a good bet in the performance markets. I think so. Especially, when knowing that Clijsters can be a patchy player. The Over 16 ½ +105 is a good option as is Peers at + 71/2 +105. To go back to the outright win market, Peers to win outright is a long shot bet at +1200. She hasn’t done anything like it to make her a credible option in this market.
