    Serena/Vinci

    Somebody tell me why I shouldn't put a massive bet on under 18 total games. Serena won't f around here I think. No weapons for Vinci to hurt Serena in my opinion. 6-2, 6-1 maybe?

    Serena might come out too relaxed, like she did vs BMS. She was fully focused vs Keys b/c she knew Keys can beat her. But yeah, Vinci's serve should provide a good target practice for Serena.

    45mins is quite a long time for such a scoreline btw.

    I actually think Vinci can keep it as a one break per set scoreline like she recently did in Toronto. I've actually found that Serena tends to struggle a bit against players that take pace off the ball and her unforced error count goes up. Vinci's slice could be handy I am thinking like it did in Toronto. Niculescu, who slices everything forehand and backhand has given Serena trouble before but her serve got destroyed otherwise it would've been closer. Vinci's serve isn't as bad so could keep it competitive.

    Serena in Toronto and Serena in the semis of US Open is a big diff. Vinci is a gamer but this is her first Slam semis too. Anyhoo, this is a garbage line. You are basically betting on how motivated Serena will be.

    Ideally Serena should win like 6-2 6-2. But i should be very cautious betting Serena -5.5 games or so. Serena always enambles opponents breath when she isnt motivated...
    But usually Serena is motivated semifinals and finals and has pretty good statistic to support that fact
    I think Serena takes 2-0 sets, but i dont know about the lines. Market are quite clever last days

    So the facts Williams Vinci 4-0 H2H
    Serena hasnt give a set to Vinci
    Serena is usually motivated late stages GS
    I can see some value perhaps under 18.5 games or 2-0 sets

    If Vinci's slices dont force a good deal of UE's from Serena it will be a quick match.

    Thought about taking the Under, then thought Vinci could get Serena up to a 7-5 or 7-6 set that she would eventually lose? So thought about taking the Over, but after looking at odds just going to stay away.

    Under 17.5 is -102, then Under 18.5 is -145... Seems like they really think it lands right around or at 18... 6-4 6-2 final my guess, but stayin away.

    Vinci will give her a good match.. she's loving this.. no fear in her.

    but I'm just taking the over 51 in NE/Pitt instead.

    Vinci averages 2.5 games won a set VS Serena
    the under thought is Serena rolls
    the over thought is Serena is a little distracted after the match against her sister, and Vinci is crafty enough to pull 6+ games our of her arse
    no play for me

    Vinci will not give her a good match. Serena would have to fall down, break her ankle and play on one leg for her to have a chance.

    You're never betting on the opponent when betting Serena. Always on her racquet and dumb head.

    As degenerated as I am, I'll never understand people (most, seemingly) who bet on every penetrating match regardless of what the odds are.

    lol last set is 5-4 Vinci serve and live odds are +100 Vinci. Market gives good odds that Serena breaks Vinci serve....
