The sponsors must be very pleased with the last 8 line up, all the big names are there and we have some very attractive looking matches.
Probably the pick of which is, Jelena Jankovic-Martina Hingis, the pair met in Sydney last month, with Jankovic, who was in the middle of a wonderful run at the time, winning in 3 close sets.
The "Swiss Miss" will be out for revenge and will probably strip fitter this time, in the earlier encounter, her opponent had the benefit of some high altitude, hot weather, conditioning in Colombia, during the off season. At the odds available, she is my strongest tennis bet of the day.
Justine Henin is still not 100%, she took two and a half hours to beat the 16 yo Austrian, Tamira Paszek, yesterday, after dropping the first set. She may also struggle today against Eleni Daniilidou, the Greek woman holds a 2-1 h2h lead and the two wins have gone to 32 and 33 games. The Belgian should progress, but we can chance a little, on her opponent to take a set.
Finally, we come to Svetlana Kuznetsova verses Patty Schnyder, both are struggling to find some consistency and this could go either way. The Russian leads the h2h 3-2, most have been close and we can expect more of the same today. I made Kuznetsova the narrowest of favourites, so we have to take Schnyder at the quoted odds.
4 points Hingis to beat Jankovic 2.16 Betfair.
1 point Henin to win 2-1 sets 5.90 Betfair.
2.5 points Schnyder to beat Kuznetsova 2.72 Betfair.
Good Luck.
