Petra Kvitova +2800.
People say she can't win a Slam on Clay, but she was knocked out by Li Na in 3 sets in the 4th Round in 2011 (who then went on to win the Final), and in 2012 she reached the Semis (and lost to Sharapova). She won't meet Sharapova til the Final this year.
Her baseline play should actually be suited to this surface, and it's not like she is hopeless on Clay.
She won her 1st Round match in straight sets and takes to the court in about 2.5 hours for her 2nd Round match against NZ player Marina Erakovic. I think if she gets past this round she should be a solid 2nd or 3rd favourite. If results go to seedings (unlikely) she has Ana Ivanovich as a prospective QF opponent, then Halep or Jankovich in the Semis. Kvitova can beat all these players. She's 24 and should be near her peak.
B365 are 1/2 odds for eachway betting, so the +1400 looks good for her to reach the Final in my eyes.
I'll be parlaying her into the Final.
Now watch her crash today.
