More Online Tennis Betting Free Picks - ECM Prague Open
By Nila Amerova
Prague, Czech Republic – In women’s tennis online betting action, the tennis betting market at BetUS Sportsbook is offering tennis odds on the ECM Prague Open. Moving towards the quarterfinals, here is a look at the second round of tennis betting action available for betting.
Tennis Betting Line: Vera Zvonareva vs. Magdalena Rybarikova
Match Time: 04:00 AM Eastern Tim, Thursday May 1, 2008
Tennis Prediction: No.13 Vera Zvonareva of Russia has had a standout season, posting a 26-7 mark for the year which includes three runner-up finishes – Hobart, Doha and Charleston. At this stage of the tournament, few would bet against the Russian to reach the final eight, especially when her second round challenger is No.167 Magdalena Rybarikova – an unseasoned 19-year-old tennis player from Slovakia. This should be a straightforward win for the top seed Zvonareva.
Tennis Free Picks: Zvonareva in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Katerina Srebotnik vs. Melinda Czink
Match Time: 04:00 AM Eastern Tim, Thursday May 1, 2008
Tennis Prediction: Slovenian tennis player Katerina Srebotnik has come into form over the course of the 2008 season, posting a 16-9 mark for the year. In her last two clay court tournaments (64-draw events), Srebotnik made back-to-back R16 appearances. At the ECM Prague (a 32-draw event) Srebotnik has an opportunity to go one better and reach her third WTA quarterfinal. Against Melinda Czink of Hungary, who weighs in at No. 140, I like Srebotnik’s chances of achieving the feat.
Tennis Free Picks: Srebotnik in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Tatiana Poutchek vs. Viktoria Azarenka
Match Time: 04:00 AM Eastern Tim, Thursday May 1, 2008
Tennis Prediction: In this all-Belarusian affair, the higher ranked Viktoria Azarenka will weigh in as the bettors favorite. The 18-year-old is one of the steady rising stars on the WTA circuit and in her upcoming matchup, she should deliver on her favorite odds for the win.
Tennis Free Picks: Azarenka in three sets
Tennis Betting Line: Shahar Peer vs. Tsvetana Pironkova
Match Time: 04:00 AM Eastern Tim, Thursday May 1, 2008
Tennis Prediction: Tsvetana Pironkova holds a 2-1 edge over No. 18 Shahar Peer, but Peer owns the most recent victory – in 2006 at the French Open, while overall on clay, they are level 1-1 lifetime. As such, this matchup should be a close contest. The market will favour Peer, but I cannot help but like Pironkova’s odds to orchestrate the upset.
Tennis Free Picks: Pironkova in three sets
