.... Unless you're going for the handicap or # of games. The lines are ridiculously chalky and offer nothing more than dartboard shots on the dogs IMO. Here's the ladies since the men are off till tomorrow.
Li has battled Serena to 3 setters 3/4 times they met. That would lead one to go for the over first - but something tells me if Serena doesn't come out without any game like yesterday that she can roll. Li wasn't especially impressive yesterday as I think Venus lost that a little more than Li won it.
Henin/Zheng I tend to the over because Henin has not been able to put together a sustainted quality effort over the course of her matches since her opener. She has two three setters since and then two very tight two setters where the scorelines both saw 7-5, 7-6. Saw some of the same with her matches in Brisbane. Certainly she is capable of pulling a dominant performance at any time, but I think having played so many matches - the fatigue catches her if her opponent makes her work. Zheng should be plenty fresh after killing Kirilenko. Zheng has the one other semifinal appearance at Wimbledon against Serena. She was a little overwhelmed by the moment in the first set, losing 6-2, but then battled hard in a tie break losing the 2nd set. If she takes it to Henin early, I think this will be a real good battle. Zheng +5 I lean to, although the over is a better selection I think. Zheng would be my dartboard shot at a big dog price hitting.
