Australian Open - Womens 2nd round handicap betting

Handicap betting is always very risky but offers some good value. Only bet low stakes.


C Suarez-Navarro +7.5 games @ 1.8 v P Kvitova - I think Carla Suarez Navarro has a solid game and has reached the QF here in Melbourne a few seasons ago. Although I doubt she will win against Kvitova I think she is capable of achieving a 6-3 6-2 loss which would win this bet. The pair have played twice before, Kvitova winning both matches in 2009 6-4 6-4 and 6-4 7-5. Although Petra has improved immensely since then, I still think she is capable of an off day and giving a few games away. Suarez-Navarro will fight and think this is an achievable punt.

M Krajicek +6.5 games @ 1.83 v A Ivanovic - Possibilities here for Krajicek to use her serve an win a few easy games against Ana. A score of 6-3 6-3 would win this punt, and the Dutch girl is capable of that score. Michaela is back inside the worlds top 100 and will look to move back up the rankings to nearer her PB well inside the top 50. Ivanovic can obviously outhit most opponents, but she will have to be at her very best and consistent to beable to thrash Krajicek. The players have met 2 times before, way back in 2006. Ivanovic won both games 7-6 6-1 and 6-3 6-4

U Radwanska +3.5 games @ 1.85 v S Cirstea - The Romanian is heavy favourite here after her victory over Stosur in round one. Urzula though is quite capable of playing great tennis herself and will be eager to kick start her senior career which has not gone to plan so far. I think both girls could get tight, and the Urzula has less pressure on her head and therefore may well be able to cause some trouble to Cirstea. H2H it is 1-1 and both girls have beaten each other comprehensively. Could go either way, but i think value lies with Urzula
