Jelena Jankovic v Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova Betting – US Open Tennis – 03.9.11

Great battle between US Open Dark Horses

Sports Betting

Jelena Jankovic v Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova betting is one of the intriguing matches in the third round of the US Open. Wanted to take a look at this tennis betting opportunity because it involves two pretty decent outside shots. Jelena Jankovic is ranked 12th in the world, while Pavlyuchenkova is ranked 16th, so there shouldn’t be too much between them, but we will attempt to break this down. Jankovic was really on top of her game mid way through last season, but an injury then kept her out for a long time. She has come back into the game again this season, but there just has not been the same intensity or punch from her. However, with a good recent run under her belt in 2011 US Open tennis warm ups, she could be a very dangerous floater. Jankovic is definitely getting stronger physically the longer the season goes on and gets match sharper. She saw off Jelena Dokic in the second round, in comfortable, if yet unspectacular style. What Jankovic has going for her is her hard work in covering ground all over the court. She is incredibly tenacious with brilliant footwork. Slight vulnerability on her serve, but all round a very solid player. She is a former world number one, so she is no slouch, although she is not a that level at the moment. As for young Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, we have gotten behind her quite a bit on these pages as a tennis betting tip, because she has immense power and a great deal of potential. Sadly she doesn’t always live up to her true potential, but she enters tournaments and you always scan down the list for her because she is always a dangerous dark horse. Why? Because of possessing awesome serving power. Yes, she has inconsistency problem, but the big hitting Russian should work those out over time and maturity. Sometimes Pavlyuchenkova struggles when you don’t expect her to, like in the previous round against Petra Martic, where Pavlyuchenkova (17th seed) went a set up, collapsed in the second, before battling holding her own to kill off the match in the third. Unpredictability, see. So too is Jankovic at the moment, but both have huge potential. What is interesting about this, is that this is also in the top half of the draw, along with Azarenka, Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki, so there is a lot at stake and these two could fly under the radar. The winner will likely play seventh seed Francesca Schiavone in the fourth round and then probably Azarenka or Williams in the quarter finals. So not an easy run, but this should be a good match, with heavy hitting from Pavlyuchenkova and a bit more finesse from Jankovic. Jankovic, being the higher seed is favourite, but Pavlyuchenkova packs an unpredictable a punch and is great value for a win at 7/5 with SportingBet. These are the potential tennis match bargains that you want to spot for value in 2011 US Open betting. Good price and high potential of the bet being pulled off.
