Just hope she wins now....up 3-1 in the first

Serena must be getting tired now. She's not exactly built for the running game of claycourt tennis.

Well Spotted. Home for all money.
Just like the Trots in getting on When the Favourite gallops in the score-up and piling the money on the 2nd and 3rd Faves at the last second.

Ah well, you win some you lose some. Djokovic was the standout player of the 2 I would have thought anyway. If Andreev was 2.60, what was Djokovic?

I like Ivanovic against Sharapova. Sharapova uses too much energy to win claycourt tournaments I think. Ivanovic probably played on clay a lot coming through the ranks. Could give Henin a shake in the final, too.

yeah wasnt a good pick last night, however he had a few break points in the first set which might have made a difference if he had capatilised...
I agree that Sharapova is no good thing in the semi's and Ivanovic was impressive over a fancied opponent in the 1/4's...tonights odds:
HENIN, Justine (BEL) 1.36
JANKOVIC, Jelena (SRB) 3.10
IVANOVIC, Ana (SRB) 1.95
SHARAPOVA, Maria (RUS) 1.85
I reckon Ill be putting on a Henin/Ivanovic double at $2.62

I had a bit of a look at a few different agencies odds and there ewre a couple of them that had Ivanovic over $2. If you shop around you might get better odds for Ivanovic.

Sounds like good value to me. Henin shouldn't be challenged too much.

Disagree a shade here actually - while recognising Henin's 5-0 record until tonight, Jankovic is maturing into a very dangerous player on all surfaces. I thought the $3.10 on offer was value and had a small lash at that. See how it looks in a few hours, of course!

Jankovic has great potential and has beaten some magnificent players this year, but remember how she kept on struggling to run out games here earlier in the year? Against Henin on clay she'll be worked over even more than that. You just have to be able to run hard and work for a long time to win the French.
