Jelena Jankovic plays her first match today at Indian Wells having made the long journey from Kuala Lumpar. That's a 20+ hour flight or 10,000+ miles if you prefer. I understand from reports that she arrived very jet lagged. Two of her three matches in Malaysia went to a final set tie-break so she did not have it easy in ultimately losing in the semi-final there.
Today her opponent is the American Jamie Hampton who is ranked just inside the top hundred. Certainly the crowd will be with her today but normally you would not expect her to beat the former world number one. I wonder whether Jelena will be up for this though. Hampton can be backed at 7/2 for the match but I have had a bet with Ladbrokes, giving up half a point, as they settle on the match winner should there be a retirement at any stage in the match.
I have had 5 pts win Hampton @ 3/1 to beat Jankovic with Ladbrokes
