Kirilenko has been in control, mentally stable and consistent through out this tournament while Lisicki wins were all in error filled, sloppy games versus inferior players. Looking at stats and numbers, you can make a claim this should be a close match, and the odds somewhat reflect that making Kirilenko, in my opinion a mild Favorite, at -200. But I have additional information that supports my assessment that she should be closer to -500.

Both players have been able to handle the heat and humidity, however it appears it has taken Lisicki a set to warm up. Versus the competition she was facing, this didn't hurt her. But it must be noted that she has consistently fell behind in all her first sets only to be gifted the breaks back through horrendous play by her opponents. She will get no such gifts with Kirilenko.

I certainly don't put Kirilenko in the upper echelon of tennis competition, but she is without question the most consistent player in this tournament and also has faced adversity playing in form competitors.

Based on the my belief that Lisicki has needed the first set in the last three matches to get warmed up, Im pretty confident at laying the -170 to win two units on Kirilenko to win the first set. Lisicki has played better in her second sets so it is possible this could go to a third. But, personally, I have Kiri dominating her through out so Im comfortable playing 2 - 0 at +120 risking an additional unit.

Kirilenko First set at -170

or

-200 for the match

or

to win 2 - 0 at +120

all good bets depending on your bankroll and risk tolerance

Good luck

i just saw the moneyline drop to -157 ...what does this reflect more...sharp, or last minute betters money coming in?

[gaebiskon]

if you can place in-play bets, then wait for better odds on kirilenko
kirilenko will be too consistent for inconsistent sabine

[skidrow]

i went with EL SoLs write up and plays. good match, im surprised line dropped even lower. back to watching. cheers!

[El Sol]

Im in US so I dont have live betting, I wish I did

[El Sol]

Lisi playing a little better than I predicted

[MagicDiceFlow]

Kirilenko is the better more balanced player no doubt. However, what always keeps Lisicki in the match is her strong serving. It bails her out numerous times from getting broken.

I didn't bet on this match but good luck to you guys with Kirilenko.

Lisi playing a little better than I predicted

nah, you were right in your write up lisi i still think is lucky...kiri seems to be the all round better player. nice serve too. watching a good match..lets see her pull away now

[skidrow]

now shes just beating her self. too much power etc

[skidrow]

come on now baby!!! lets do it!!!!

[Tmuston Beltics]

K there goes my 2-0 on Kirilenko..

[nocturnal012]

[MagicDiceFlow]

Kirilenko's game excels at keeping the balls in play and breaking her opponents serve. When Lisicki's serving this well, its gonna be tough for Kirilenko to get looks at second serves. Still got a long way to go and I've seen Kirilenko come back many times down a set.......but it's gonna be tough if Lisicki keeps pounding those first serves.

[gaebiskon]

it isn't over yet guise
unless she's really on, like once or twice a year, sabine can't keep this level of play for much longer

[ohumad]

Double or nothing let's go Kirilenko!

[ThaTopMoron]

to sabine's credit, she really played solid first set and this is nothing special in women's tennis, much worse happen on a regular basis

yeah i know, I am a tennis newb... somehow I cashed pretty good betting on the A.Open but that was mainly sticking to the men

if i hadn't done well with the A.Open I wouldn't be placing bets on this random wta event with players I know nothing about... just a degenerate late night bet to start off Super Bowl Sunday

[ohumad]

[ThaTopMoron]

wtf is this bitch doing

[ohumad]

Are you kidding me holy crap! Hit it IN! IN!

[gaebiskon]

[ThaTopMoron]

"I'm allowed to choke cause I'm not fugly"

[ohumad]

K 5 match points here don't get too excited

[ThaTopMoron]

wtf... i went from early on thinking my bet was toast... to oh she turned it around completely and is in cruise control... to omg this girl is choking like no other... then she puts herself in position with her back against the wall then she gets it back and takes over in tie break pts

just another dumb bitch, but hell cashed a unit on her
