Safarova v Bartoli

Lucie Safarova came through her match against Kuznetsova in straight sets yesterday. I was rather concerned pre-match as the market moved significantly in favour of the Russian. Thankfully, having been two set points down in the first set tie break, Lucie came through comfortably enough in the end.

Today she takes on Bartoli in the quarter finals, a player who holds a 4-1 HTH over her. However their two latest matches - both in 2011 - are split 1-1. The first Lucie won in straight sets and the second was an epic encounter at Eastbourne that Bartoli edged in the final set tie break.

Given the way Safarova has played so far this week I am tempted by Ladbrokes' 7/4. I would have priced her around the 5/4 mark.

Therefore I have had 3 pts @ 7/4 Safarova to beat Bartoli with Ladbrokes
