Daniela Hantuchova vs Elena Dementieva – Dementieva leads 11-4 head-to-head and is too powerful for the Slovakian girl. Elena is back in her good form, her level is impressive and she is relatively fresh. Bet on Elena to win at $1.30.
Petra Kvitova vs Kim Clijsters – Kvitova showed at Wimbledon this year that she is able to play competitively at a high level. Clijsters is the strong favorite but not consistent to win in straight sets. Bet on Kim to win 2-1 at $6.50.
Mandy Minella vs Venus Williams – This is the second unknown crafty player that Williams will have to play. We all witnessed how difficult it was for Venus to win in the previous round against a similar player. Value is on Minella to win one set. Bet on Venus to win 2-1 at $7.25.
Samantha Stosur vs Sara Errani – The Australian is in much better form and defeated the Italian twice on hard-courts over the last two years. Bet on Samantha to win at $1.27.
Virginie Razzano vs Ana Ivanovic – Ivanovic is the big favorite here but she’s played against Razzano twice on fast courts and both matches ended in the decisive set. Ivanovic should win but it won’t be so easy. Bet on Ana to win 2-1 at $4.50.
Francesca Schiavone vs Alona Bondarenko – The Italian is back to her old form, which gave her the French Open and she shouldn’t face too many problems with Bondarenko. Bet on Francesca to win at $1.52.
Shahar Peer vs Flavia Pennetta – Pennetta won three of the four previous matches against Peer and is in much better form now. The Italian has shown spectacular tennis and is motivated to go far at Flushing Meadows. Bet on Flavia to win at $1.33.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova vs Gisela Dulko – The Russian is too inconsistent to be such a huge favorite against the Argentine opponent. Dulko has already proved she can defeat anyone on a good day and the value is surely on her side. Bet on Gisela to win at $3.15.
