Sydney Open

Just had a look through the draw for the above. A very strong field. At least it was until Sam and Vera both lost tamely overnight. They were both in Li Na's half of the draw. The top half of the draw is still very strong: Woza, Petko, A.Rad, Vika, Janko and Bartoli. In the bottom half Li Na has a realistic chance of reaching the semi-finals where she is seeded to meet the tournament favourite Kvitova (generally a 2/1 chance). I think it's worth taking a chance with an each-way bet on Li Na as follows:

2pts each-way Li Na @ 12/1 with Totesport (1/2 odds 1,2) for the Sydney Open

and also 0.5pt ew Schiavone @ 22/1 with Bet365.

Schiavone is also in the bottom half of the draw and took care of Sam in straight sets.

Total five points staked.
