Re: Wimbledon Womens Matches Tuesday

I agree MikeRobb, Williams is the only odds on player worth opposing. If anything Pierce had the harder game in the last round against in form Pennetta, but both Williams and Pierce played very well vs opponents who were playing well, but neither Pennetta nor Craybas serve over 100MPH too often, and they will always struggle to compete vs the top players if that happens.

Craybas couldn't get her nose infront against Venus, which is always key, but Pierce is far more solid on serve, and if she can put pressure on Venus, this game looks more and more towards the 50-50 mark.

-------------------------------

I'll look to get back on track with:

Sharapova v Petrova

After struggling past Peschke, Petrova is making too many errors to beat Sharapova. Was match point down to Peschke, and overall gave away ten break chances, which Sharapova will be much more clinical with. Sharapova looks as good on grass as she did when she won the title last year, and didn't concede a single break point against Dechy, and with the serve looking solid and groundstrokes accurate, it should be the Russian safely through to the final four.

Mauresmo -3.5 games v Myskina

Nakamura, Bohmova, Jankovic and Dementieva have all had the Myskina serve in trouble time and time again, while Mauresmo has been ruthless so far, losing 0 sets and just 15 games. She is also serving brilliantly, and Myskina will have to work for even just one or two chances. In her 4 matches so far, Mauresmo has given away just 6 break points, compared to the 53 of Myskina. I think Myskina will struggle on both the Mauresmo seve and her own, so I'll back the French woman to beat the handicap here.

2pts double @ 1.92 @ Ladbrokes
