Australian Open Womens 3rd round - Bartoli v Zheng

J Zheng +3.5 games @ 1.80 v Bartoli - Another really interesting match. Bartoli is playing really well and is capable of outhitting most WTA players with her powerful double handed shots. Once into a tournament she usually keeps on getting better and better, hence why she is the favourite here. Zheng however is a former Semi-finalist here 2 years ago, where she defeated Bertoil 5-7 6-3 6-0 in the 3rd round. The Chinese star took out Peng, Martinez-Sanchez, Bondarenko, Kirilenko before finding Justine Henin too hot. Zheng is fighter and has already won in Auckland this year and looks to be getting back to the form she showed in 2010. She thrashed Roberta Vinci in the last round and I can see her grabbing a set from Baertoli here, allowing the games handicap to come into play. Zheng to win is @ 2.65 and is not out of the question.
