London, England – On the women’s front, the tennis betting market is awash with some exceptional second round betting matchups. What sports betting enthusiasts have to look forward to in this exceptional tennis betting line-up is odds on newly instated World No.1 Ana Ivanovic, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Serena Williams amongst several others as they make a bid to keep their Wimbledon Championship hope alive. Here is a look at some of the tennis odds currently available at BetUS.com.

Tennis Betting Line: Ana Ivanovic -4000 Nathalie Dechy +1100

Tennis Betting Prediction: Few bettors would bet against Ana Ivanovic in the second round. Here stock is rising in the tennis betting markets daily and as one of the hottest young players – both in game and looks (irrelevant perhaps but worth the mention) – she is one of the favourites for the Wimbledon title. Dechy has no chance.

Tennis Betting Line: Casey Dellacqua -400 Pauline Parmentier +250

Tennis Betting Prediction: Casey Dellacqua enjoyed a great run at the Australian Open – a home event for the young Australian. However, since then she has not had a great season and enters the draw with a 14-14 mark for the year. Nevertheless, in Parmentier Dellacqua should find a challenger easy to advance past.

Tennis Betting Line: Samantha Stosur +130 Nicole Vaidisova -170

Tennis Betting Prediction: A promising young talent Nicole Vaidisova is another player from the Czech Republic to fall short of expectations. Her 2008 year has been discouraging and has seen her fall in ranking. Nevertheless, she faces a player in Stosur she has easily beaten on five previous occasions. As long as she remains focused, she should improve to 6-0 against Stosur.

Tennis Betting Line: Marion Bartoli -600 Tatiana Perebiynis +350

Tennis Betting Prediction: I must admit to not being a fan of Marion Bartoli so it is with some bias that I make this pick against her. However, in support of this, Bartoli has had a poor year, in fact, since her sensational run to the Wimbledon final last year she has not achieved much. Pressure has proven to be too much for her. I expect she will fall in the early rounds in London. This is as good a time as any to bet against her.

Tennis Betting Line: Svetlana Kuznetsova -500 Kateryna Bondarenko +300

Tennis Betting Prediction: Simple fact, Svetlana Kuznetsova does not like grass. She barely averted the upset in her opening round. In her second round she meets Kateryna Bondarenko who won the title in Birmingham a fortnight ago. I believe Kuznetsova is in danger in this match of being upset. At +300 odds, Bondarenko is too good to pass up.
