Sports Betting

Sabine Lisicki v Vera Zvonareva 2011 US Open tennis betting is the top draw fourth round clash of the women’s draw. Flushing Meadows has already seen some fantastic tennis, and because of upsets to Maria Sharapova and Petra Kvitova, the door is wide open in the bottom half of the draw for some one to step through. Now, Russian Vera Zvonareva is the second seed for the tournament, but she is nowhere near her best. She has had a pretty tough year, struggling for form and just looks to be missing that spark. She was the first big seed through to the fourth round though, so that it is to her credit, but you have to look at her performances. She really struggled through her second round match against Kateryna Bondarenko, and it was not plain sailing against Anabel Medina Garrigues in the third, in what was a tight match. However, she is battling her way through at the moment, and her mistakes are being forgiven a little bit because of the quality of opposition which she has faced. Zvonareva is talented, she is passionate and there is no argument about that, but she is just not the same player she was twelve months ago and you wonder if, by reaching back to back Grand Slam finals at Wimbledon and the US Open last year, whether or not she reached her peak and had nowhere else to go. She has been found wanting this year. But enter Sabine Lisicki, who last year was not on the radar at all, after spending time on crutches for a bad injury. She missed seventh months from the game, but this year has come back with a bang. She troubled Zvonareva at the Australian Open and her opponent on the ropes before fatigue overtook her body. But German Lisicki has simply stepped on the gas and got better and better. This is genuinely a potential top ten (or higher) player on the WTA Tour. She is young enough to get better and better still with experience, and she has a huge heart for the game. There is also such a dangerous service weapon from her, as she carries a lot of power. Inconsistency may still be a little bit of an issue, but she plays some fantastic tennis most of the time, and she is one of the most form players in the WTA draw for 2011 US Open tennis betting at the moment. Therefore, for Sabine Lisicki v Vera Zvonareva tennis betting, you seriously have to take a good long hard look at Lisicki. While she has a massive first serve, the tennis she serves up behind that main assault is very smart tennis. There is natural talent there to take her very far. This really could be a huge moment in the year for her. Knock out Zvonareva and then a quarter final place awaits in the half of the draw which is there for the taking. On current form and confidence at the moment, Lisicki really should take out Zvonareva.
