    Na Li only -1155 against #829 ranked Michaella Krajicek??



    Definitely thought this line would be higher, I mean we've seen 5, 6 seeds favored significantly higher and lose going away in the first round so far... Not saying Na will lose but -


    I'm trying to convince myself there is something more to this line, or maybe I'm giving too much credit to Na Li.

    This is WTA. Apart from big 3 and Errani on clay, any other player can have a bad day and lose to anybody else. Also, Krajicek is coming back from a long lay-off, she is really more like a top-100 player.

    Appreciate the opinion gambler.

    To address what you said: I completely agree, been betting WTA for some time, I just thought however the line was relatively low, it almost asks for money on NA, ESPECIALLY with the long lay off by Krajicek. Thought it would be nice to make a quick $100 but I'm sure I'll lay off.

    And also how bout' Errani losing to Puig? An example to my point, these 1st rounds are always interesting...

    LOL. The line might be also low because a lot of folks are fishing for the next big upset. Krajicek used to have a good game. If she is on, she might have a puncher's chance (or if Na slips or retires with other injury). This is all I can say. I am not touching this one.

    With Errani and to a lesser extent Nadal, really smart folks could potentially foresee that. It used be common that clay-court specialists would be bounced in the first rounds on grass. Not so lately, after they slowed down the grass-courts and made the clay a bit faster, but still... Plus Nadal has that knee problem.

    LOL. No way in hell. For one thing, the courts are slippery: two big favorites almost retired yesterday after bad falls and Li Na has been turning her ankles often enough for that to be a factor.

    Come to think of it, I might put 0.05u on Krajicek.
