The bookmakers have been just generous enough for me to have a wager on the Venus v Alize match. I thought the young Frenchwoman would have been no more than 6/4 whereas she is generally 2/1 with 9/4 in a place.
As she showed yesterday this former TV actress loves the big stage and is sure to be well supported by the crowd who will perceive her as the underdog again (despite the world rankings being 26-44). As was the case yesterday, the HTH is not in her favour (0-3) but the way she played against Serena exuded confidence and if the Williams' serve is not right on the money she has a big chance. I have had:
6pts Cornet to beat V Williams @ 2/1 Coral
2/1 is available elsewhere but I have specifically chosen Coral as they settle the result provided the match has started whereas other bookmakers require a set or in some cases the whole match to be played otherwise match bets are void. Although thankfully it has not manifested itself on court this week, Venus does suffer from a fatigue related illness. So there would be a small possibility of a retirement.

Thus our potential winnings for the tournament are now as follows:
Total stakes 12 points: Venus win returns 39.5 points. Profit 27.5 points
Alize win returns18 points + 13.5 V place = 31.5 points. Profit 19.5 points
