Has a really good record in grandslams recently too (won the us open 2009 & 2010, and the Aussie open 2011). She's just back from injury but chose not to play in the French open, instead getting a head start on her rivals for the grasscourt season. Also the Williams sisters don't seem to be as strong as they used to, they're getting on a bit agewise (Clijsters is a year and a half younger than the younger sister, Serena). The eastern Europeans are the bigger threat (Azarenka etc.), but they're fairly known for often choking in big finals
Anyway Clijsters is 25/1 on Ladbrokes, an excellent price I think, I've put a decent sum on e/w, just thought some of you betting folk might be interested, definitely worthy of a punt imo
Both Kvitova and Azenka won their debut Grand Slam finals in straight sets in the last year so a bit harsh to call them chokers.
But yeah worth a bet at such odds especially if she gets a good draw.0 -

fair point. I think Sharapova came into my mind when i was thinkin about that. still I think Kim looks very sharp and focused since she came back to tennis. I think 25/1 is ridiculously good odds, I know she'll be determined to add a Wimbledon title to her cv too0 -

Like the look of Stosur to beat Errani in straight sets on Thursday at 11/10.
Quick look at their Head to head shows its very likely to come in..

I watched both their 1/4 finals today and Stosur was the far more impressive player
Dammit i went for that 2-0 bet

never said she's not good on other surfaces, im saying theres plenty of other great players ahead of her and she's probably 200/1 for that reason..
anything can happen.. nadal knows that

Ah ok fair enough, but I just saw her referred to a clay court specialist on wiki, I thought maybe that's where you were coming from. She'll most likely be up against Serena next, so easy job :pac: (though Serena is by no means the player she used to be)0 -
