After progressing into the third round at the French Open, Sam Stosur has firmed to the fourth line of betting priced at $21 with online bookmaker sportsbet to win the women’s singles title.
In match betting, Stosur ($1.86) is the favourite in her third round clash against Jelana Jankovic ($1.95) who has won six out of the last eight times they’ve met.
Despite being the favourite to win the Round 3 clash, Stosur is priced at $1.95 to be eliminated in Round 3, $4.00 if she makes it to Round 4, and $4.20 if she makes the quarter finals.
“With Stosur attracting almost 30% of the total market stake, it appears as though punters remain hopeful that the 2010 French Open runner up will have a lot to give to Saturday’s match,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Brigitte Lowsby.
Fellow Aussie Ashleigh Barty, is in for a fight tonight priced as the $6.05 outsider against the 12th seed Maria Kirilenko ($1.13) to progress to the third round.
In the men’s draw, Rafael Nadal remains the favourite at $1.72 in a bid to take out his eighth French Open, followed by Novac Djokovic ($3.50) and Rodger Federer (7.50).
In good news for punters, if the player they bet on during the French Open slogs it out to the 5th set but losses, they will have their head to head bet refunded!
