    F. Schiavone 100-1 advice?

    I have F. Schiavone at 100-1 to win the US Open. With only 16 women left, and only 2 left ranked higher than her, what would you do? Just curious if anyone would hedge/ when they would hedge/ how much for etc.

    I'm in for $20 to win $2000...I understand that she will have to face S. Williams in the round of 8 should they make it there...and she'll probably be a big dog.

    Pavlyuchenkova is also a tough match up. Unfortunately Schiavone doesn't seem to have the form to say she'll be a threat.
    I would probably just put money on Pav. I think Schia loses to her

    You got Schiavone at 100-1 well shes still 76-1... Not to mention Serena is looming next round and Serena is -200 to win the whole thing. Her only real threats? Lisicki/Zvonareva or Stosur and only one of those 3 make the semis, Wozniacki is the only hope to stop her on her side

    Thanks. I see Schia is 3-1 vs. Pav. lifetime though. You just think Schia looks out of form after todays barely won 3 setter?

    Didn't realize she was still 76-1...some books had her at 66-1 before the thing even started! I do think she will lose to serina, but the fact that there's only two higher ranked players left and she's 76-1 is what blows my mind about womens tennis. What book has her at 76-1 still?

    It's $20, let it ride next round - Pavlyuchenkova is a very inconsistent player, Schiavone is a grinder who will make her work hard, something I don't think she does well - and then figure something out in the quarters if she makes it.

    Schiavone was as high as 150 to 1 at 5dimes if im not mistaken. Was confused by the line. Schiavone has what most girls don't. The warrior spirit. Definately undervalued. Now will she win? Probably not.
