Answer 1

Women's Singles Betting Tips

With Serena Williams out of the mix in the 2011 Australian Open women's draw, the way is wide open for the top players in the WTA Tour to claim the absent champion's crown. Kim Clijsters has been priced the antepost favourite, but will face stiff competition from the likes of Caroline Wozniacki and Justine Henin as she sets out to claim another Grand Slam title.
Kim Clijsters

Kim Clijsters is in pole position ahead of the 2011 Australian Open after taking another US Open title on hard courts at the end of 2010. The Belgian has a power game that few players on the WTA can counter, and you'd have to back her to beat the more technical approach of the likes of Henin and Wozniacki.

However, Clijsters has never done better than reach the final of the Australian Open and could easily fall foul of the upsets that frequently happen in the women's draw at the Grand Slams.

While Bet365 has a great price of 9/4 on offer for Clijsters, the Belgian is not priced within range of an each way bet, and you'll have to go all or nothing to make a profit off her in the 2011 Australian Open outright betting markets.
Justine Henin

Justine Henin last won in Melbourne in 2004, and is the only player in the draw, besides Maria Sharapova, to have won an Australian Open title. The Belgian hasn't quite managed to recapture her former glory since returning from retirement, and claimed just two lower tier titles in 2010 after losing in the final of the Australian Open.

With Serena Williams not in the draw, Henin must fancy her chances of making the final. Nevertheless, the Belgian is not as confident as she once was and looks very vulnerable to an upset at the 2011 Australian Open.

We'd therefore suggest laying Henin at Betfair - a betting option that would pay a profit if Henin failed to win the tournament.
Caroline Wozniacki

Caroline Wozniacki enters the 2011 Australian Open as the reigning WTA world number one. The Dane is one of a succession of players to have reached this spot without having won a Grand Slam title, and will want to avoid the fate of the likes of Dinara Safina and Jelena Jankovic who were unable to win a Grand Slam when they headed the tour rankings.

Wozniacki has a very poor record in Grand Slams, having reached just one final while failing to progress beyond the quarterfinals of any of the Grand Slams other than the US Open. With this sort of record there will be plenty of self-doubt plaguing the Dane in Melbourne in 2011 and her odds of 7/1 look like a good indication of her prospects in the tournament.

However, Wozniacki certainly has the talent to reach the final even if a Grand Slam win is still in the distance. At odds of 7/1 at Paddy Power, she tempts for an each way bet that would pay out 7/4 if she reached the final but lost.
