Zheng v Pennetta - Auckland Tennis Final

J Zheng @ 3.30 to beat F Pennetta - The Chinese girl is again unjustifiably at a hugh price to beat the Italian. H2H it is 3-2 to Pennetta and she has won the last 2 on hardcourts in straights. However that was the end of 2010 and last year, when Zheng was struggling with form and injuries. Jie is capable of winning this match and has looked good all week, taking out Kuznetsova for the 1st time in 7 matches will be a big confidence boost. Pennetta though is also in tip top form and Kerber was destroyed in the semis. I think this will be closer than the bookies think and Zheng +1.5 set handicap @ 1.50 looks a very nice price, or go for a Zheng win at low stakes
