US Open betting sees its share of successful title defenses, and all eyes are on Serena Williams as she tries to defend her title. She was able to get past Spain’s Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez and that sets up a fourth-round match with Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova. Williams successfully fought back from 1-3 down in the final US Open tennis set to win.
US Open includes some other contenders on the women’s side. Italian Flavia Pennetta is rolling through so far. She lost just six US Open tennis betting games in the first three rounds. She won in sports betting in July tennis events and is playing very well. She is matched up against seventh seed Vera Zvonereva for a place in US Open betting quarterfinals.
One of the online betting stories on the women’s side in US Open tennis betting is 17-year-old Melanie Oudin who shocked fourth-seeded Elena Dementieva, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 in US Open betting. One of the losers was fifth-seeded Jelena Jankovic who lost to Yaroslava Shvedova, 6-3, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (6) in US Open betting. Jankovic was playing with a heavy heart since she learned her grandmother had died in Serbia. “I wasn’t really on the court,” Jankovic said. “I was very sad emotionally. I really tried my best to be there and to try to play, but it was really hard."
The US Open tennis story for Oudin was much brighter as she had Dementieva running all over the court. Now it will be Oudin matched up against former #1 Maria Sharapova in US Open betting.
US Open betting is all about Serena Williams. She has been the most dominant player in women’s tennis, winning three of the last four Grand Slam singles titles. She simply doesn’t win many of the other tournaments before the big ones. She had failed to win any of her past 16 non-major tournaments. US Open indicated that when Serena beat sister Venus at Wimbledon it was her 11th major title. Before you start US Open , remember that Serena and Venus Williams have won a total of 18 Grand Slam titles in singles play. That is double the total of all the other women in US Open . While Serena is the favorite in US Open it is still Dinara Safina who is the #1 seed. She has won seven WTA events in the last two years, but is still looking to collect her first career win in a major.
