By Nila Amerova
In online tennis betting this week, two women’s singles tennis tournaments are available on the sports betting market, sports bettors will not want to be left out of the action! So read-up on some of the tennis free picks below and start wagering on tennis.
Tennis Betting Line: Akgul Amanmuradova -105 Michaella Krajicek -135
Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 29, 2008
Analysis: Michaella Krajicek enters the ECM Prague Open with a 0-6 mark for the year! She has yet to win a match. However, in spite of this, the Dutch teenager is slightly favoured over No.65 Akgul Amanmuradova, but it Amanmuradova that is a better value bet for bettors. At favourite odds as well, -105, she has at least won a match this year. I like her chances against the floundering Krajicek.
Tennis Free Picks: Amanmuradova in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Sofia Arvidsson +150 Iveta Benesova -200
Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 29, 2008
Analysis: Sofia Arvidsson has had a solid start to her year, posting a 15-10 mark. The 24-year-old Swede enters this matchup as the +150 underdog. Arvidsson is favors hard courts. A fortnight ago, she competed in Estoril, (lost to No.90 Savchuk in the second round). Iveta Benesova has home court edge over Arvidsson She also favors clay surfaces, spending the bulk of the year contesting clay tournaments. Benesova enters with a 19-10 mark for the year, which includes her bets result, a runner-up finish in Estoril.
Tennis Free Picks: Benesova in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Jill Craybas +170 Karin Knapp -220
Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 29, 2008
Tennis Free Picks: Karin Knapp of Italy is a rising tennis player, who ranks within the Top 50. Jill Craybas is a veteran American player who spends most of the year competing clay court events around the world. Nevertheless, the veteran is disadvantaged at +170. On any other surface, I would like Knapp’s odds; however, this time around, I like Craybas’s chances.
Tennis Free Picks: Craybas in three sets
Tennis Betting Line: Anna Lapushchenkova +300 Shahar Peer -500
Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday April 29, 2008
Analysis: At – 500 favourite odds, Shahar Peer is the steep favourite for the win. With her experience on the WTA circuit at this level, take Peer to advance.
