The legacy of Serena gives her +280 to win the French Open

[mighty maron]

5dimes has Serena at +280 to win the French. She is the favorite to win according to the early odds posted at 5dimes.

Besides past perfromance, is she capable of being the dominant woman on clay? Her fitness and age have to come into play at the slower courts at the French Open? What am I missing.....

I see as being in contention but in no way the favorite to win this event

[Stanford Wong]

She's a top contender as long as she's not injured --- who knows with her or any of these players

I agree that she's a top contender but the odds on azarenka were +520. I would have thought they would be closer to Serena level.....

I would enjoy to see what other people think...I dont mind being wrong in this...I just would like to see other peoples train of thought on this subject.

If Serena doesn't win who has the best chance?

[CaptainOmar111]

Would be surprised if she won.

Her chances are %99-%1 lol , I think she is the favorite while Azarenka has an injury and Choked Maria

Yeah, I'm nuts

[CaptainOmar111]

Yeah, I'm nuts

just kidding with you man , you are doing well here except the math point of american odds ( -1400 bigger than -1100 ) lol

[Stanford Wong]

You won me some cash today so thanks

[CaptainOmar111]

[Stanford Wong]

I followed Ramos pick --- I didn't even bother looking at him ---

I've got over 1/2 Goals -- Bayern --- well see

If Serena doesn't win who has the best chance?

My take on it is that there's a FKload of women who could take it. Plenty of upset potential as well.

[felix_felicus7]

Maria @ +500 but if Errani can get a favourable draw @ +2600?!

[gators0708]

After last yrs performance she has to be extremely motivated to win it all.

[mighty maron]

A Serena that is motivated is a dangerous thing. I think the age, fitness, and the slowness of the court all work against her. Who was the italian woman that looks like a man that won it a few years ago?

[ohumad]

Schiavone in '10. Poor guy lol.

Right now her French Open legacy is losing in the 1st round last year. That was unbelievable.
