United States Open 2010: Odds modification as a result of William’s surgery
The odds for the top ranked tennis women’s player Serena Williams have gone through a modifying process in the past few days.
As far as the market for the upcoming United States Open 2010 is concerned, there is ambiguity with regards to the top seeded player for the championship. Moreover, Serena Williams has yet not recovered completely from a foot injury.
Even then, Serena Williams is expected to battle it out for her final Grand Slam tournament of the season. As a result, her odds have remained unchanged. On the other hand, Maria Sharapova has gone through a dip in ratings.
Given below are the latest odds of the top eight players:
Serena Williams +220 by Victor Chandler, Kim Clijsters by Bet Fred, Maria Sharapova +800 by Sporting Bet, Venus Williams +1400 by Sporting Bet, Caroline Wozniacki +1800 by Sporting Bet, Samantha Stosur +2200 by Sporting Bet, Elena Dementieva +2200 by Victor Chandler as well as Victoria Azarenka +2500 by Victor Chandler as the eighth seeded player for the tournament.
However, according to experts, the betting odds may change:
Serena Williams +375, the actual betting odds are very less, Kim Clijsters +475, the genuine betting odds have a nominal price, Maria Sharapova +650, the genuine betting odds have the same price, Caroline Wozniacki +1000, the genuine betting odds have a high price, Jelena Jankovic +1800, the genuine betting odds are +3300 with Victor Chandler earning a higher value, Venus Williams +2200, the genuine betting odds are very less, Elena Dementieva +2200 and Na Li +3000, with genuine betting odds are +8000 with Sporting Bet speculating a high value.
In this list, the two tennis players who have not been named by the experts are Samantha Stosur as well as Victoria Azarenka.
As far as Stosur is concerned, she has never performed at the United States Open tournament. Therefore, her odds may drift quite similarly to her appearance at the French Open championship. Stosur has played a total of two matches at the Flushing Meadows so hoping for Stosur to triumph in a total of seven battles this season is something foolish. According to some of the analysts, Stosur does not even have a one percent chance of succeeding at the Flushing Meadows.
Vera Zvonareva, Victoria Azarenka, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Aravane Rezai, Nadia Petrova, Yanina Wickmayer, Petra Kvitova, Agnieszka Radwanska, Francesca Schiavone as well as Alexandra Dulgheru all are expected to make it to the top.
As far as Victoria Azarenka is concerned, everyone knows that she is the kind of player who has the ability to manage a difficult match situation pretty well. Therefore, she is a dangerous player beyond any measure of speculation. However, at the moment, her recent odds of +2500 are extremely less for sure.
Maybe if Victoria triumphs in a hard court championship before the start of the United States Open tournament, her odds in the tournament can improve.
In the view of the experts, Wozniacki as well as Jelena Jankovic have produced some good results at the United States Open tournament over the years. Jankovic ended the 2008 U.S. Open competition as runners-up to Serena Williams whereas Wozniacki was the 2009 runners-up to Kim Clijsters. If recent form is any measure, supporting both these players is the right thing to do.
