BOOM.
Curious what the odds will be vs Peng. I watched her play today, and she looked great. Could be a hell of a match.

wondering the same. Peng disciplined and dangerous, but also have to keep in mind Bencic was only 17. Over could be the safest play.

The over might be a decent play in that Peng-Woz match. Peng has only dropped serve once the whole tournament and that was in the first round. Woz should win but if I see a O/U 20 or so I might have to hit it

If Woz manages to get an early lead, Peng might fall apart. Newcomers rarely do well in their first big matches. Peng was lucky that in her 1st QF ever she was playing a 17-yr old who was clearly overwhelmed by the occasion.
I wish she wins but not really sure Serena would allow her

I hedged a bit with Serena -123. Serena in the final looks like a done deal and I'd guess we're looking at Serena around -300 in a final with Woz. Pennetta absolutely no chance tonight, Azarenka not the same player, and Makarova could do it but unlikely. Peng is dangerous but I think Woz will get through as first time players in the semis never play well. Even if Peng pulls it off she will surely get rolled in a final by Serena. Woz can beat Serena but we're going to need a drop in her game.

Serena's draw has been a joke so far, hasn't played anyone of quality yet. GL to Woz, she should have the fans which could put Serena on tilt.

Yeah, decided to just take something. I'll make about $250 if Serena wins, $650 if Caro does.

Great battle by Caroline but Serena is just a beast. It's really a man versus a woman out there. Great tournament and result for Caroline but there's just nothing any woman can do when Serena is on.

I disagree, Wuzz isn't looking good enough so far.

Whichever way it ends, your initial bet remains a smart one.

It's too bad, she broke Serena a couple times in the 1st, but couldn't do a damn thing to stay on-serve. If you can break Serena, usually you are going to have a decent chance to at least win a set. But not when your own serve has reverted back to pre-Rory break-up mode.
