Budapest, Hungary – For tennis betting fanatics, the women’s Gaz De France Grand Prix, is a good place to look for some value tennis odds. With women’s tennis in a bit of a turmoil – at least where the top seeds are concerned – the push from lower-ranked players is changing the formbook and offering some standout bets in the tennis wagering markets. Here is a look at some of the upcoming tennis gambling action you should include on your wagering ticket at BetUS Sportsbook.

Tennis Betting Line: Karolina Sprem vs. Andreja Klepac

Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Saturday, July 12, 2008

Tennis Analysis: In the battle of the South-slavs, both Karolina Sprem of Croatia and Andreja Klepac of Slovenia have found rare form. Prior to the Gaz de France Grand Prix, neither player had posted a noteworthy turnout in a tournament. Sprem entered with a 6-6 mark and Klepac brought a 13-20 mark for the season. However, both have seen resurgence in their game. And with many results in women’s tournaments lopsided – Wimbledon in particular with the fall of many top seeds in the early rounds – the women’s lower-ranked players have been given an incentive.

Tennis Betting Verdict: So which player will bank on the opportunity to reach the final. Lifetime, Sprem holds a 1-0 edge over Klepac beating her in Stuttgart in 2006. Karolina Sprem is a former Top 20 player. Should she continue her good form she has a great opportunity to revive some of her past successes.

Tennis Betting Line:: Greta Arn vs. Alize Cornet

Match Time: 05:00 AM Eastern Time, Saturday, July 12, 2008

Tennis Analysis: Second seed Alize Cornet of France was one of the pre-tournament favourites to take the title. On clay, the teenager has had a sensational turnout in 2008 and she is in my opinion the player to beat at the Gaz De France Grand Prix. However, in the semis she will face the crowd favourite Greta Arn of Hungary. With home court edge, the Hungarian could prove to be a real test for the rising sensation in tennis that is Cornet. At 29-years old, Arn is more than a decade older than her opponent is. But what she brings in wealth of experience, Cornet can match with talent.

Tennis Betting Verdict: I like the young Alize Cornet. The 18-year-old finished runner-up in Acapulco and at the Tier I event in Rome, reached the semis of both Amelia Island and Charleston and the R32 of the French Open. Cornet has the makings of a future clay-court threat on the women’s circuit. She should beat Arn handily here.
