Moscow, Russia – The WTA tour stops in Moscow for the Kremlin Cup. Back in tournament action was World No.4 and second seed Maria Sharapova. However, Sharapova’s Kremlin Cup campaign came to an abrupt end today when she squandered six set points in the first set of a 7-6(9), 6-2 loss to Victoria Azarenka.

Second Round Tennis Picks

Tennis Betting Line: Vera Zvonareva -165 Agnieszka Radwanska +125

Match Time: 07:00 A.M. EST.

Tennis Prediction: No. 24 Vera Zvonareva is favored at -165 and with home court advantage, betting on the Russian holds value. Zvonareva brings into her match a 25/11 record for the season.

Going against Zvonareva is the fact that she had a tough physical and mental challenge in the first round against Amelie Mauresmo. The thrilling match lasted two hours and six minutes and while it ended in favor of Zvonareva 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. The question is whether Zvonareva will have enough steam left for her second round match against Agnieszka Radwanska.

No. 33 Radwanska is perhaps most memorable for her victory over Maria Sharapova in the R32 at the 2007 US Open. Although, after Radwanska has yet to follow-up with a performance equal to her 2007 US Open, she is only barely 18-years old.

This season, Radwanska amassed a 34/19 record for the season, which includes one ATP title. She arrives into the second round on the heels of a victory against Russia’s Maria Kirlenko. For a berth in the quarterfinal, Radwanska will have to fell another Russian player. Can she do it?

I like her odds. Taking the odds maker’s bait, in this match up I pick Radwanska at +125.

Tennis Free Pick: Radwanksa in straight sets.
