Vinci +240 (Pennetta)
Vinci desvistated her country-mate in April on clay, 6-1, 6-2. That suggests that the odds are way off for this one. Both have had their moments on dirt in 2009. Pennetta made the semis in Bastad last week before bowing to Wozniacki & did well in Stuttgart in April. Prior to that though, her clay court form was so-so at best. Vinci won the Barcelona clay court event in April, beating Pennetta in the process. Since then, she's been up & down on dirt. These two are playing doubles together here, so you figure both know each other's games well. For me, getting better than 2:1 in a match that is closer to a toss-up is a plus.
Youzhny +110 (Mathieu)
The Russian sports a 4-0 h-2-h advantage, including a 3 set win in Munich on clay in May. 3 of the 4 match-ups have been on clay, so you'd think Youzhny would have confidence here despite him not doing much on dirt since late April-early May. PHM has had lesser success on clay this year, so getting the plus money feels like a bonus here.
