WTA Tennis Betting Tips on the 2009 Australian Open
Jelena Jankovic one of only six women to hold the No. 1 ranking last season, has finally received a top seed ranking in one of the year’s first Grand Slam. Along side is the American who is a three-time Australian Open champion Serena Williams ranked second.
This year could be an interesting year in the WTA as the Williams sisters have declined significantly with their game making this a free fall all season. Maria Sharapova as well has declined giving opportunities to most of the other women in the WTA to finally have their crack in numerous Grand Slams this 2009.
Russia’s Dinara Safina and Elena Dementieva, the 2009 Beijing Olympic finalists, were seeded third and fourth, respectively, right behind Jelena Jankovic and Serena Williams. Elena Dementieva who by far can match the power brought on the table by both the Williams sisters can post possible match up problems for about any WTA Player available and most importantly give Serena Williams and Venus Williams a great run for their money.
The 2009 Australian Open runner-up Ana Ivanovic is the fifth seed and one of the six WTA players to be seeded No. 1 last season while 2008 Wimbledon champion Venus Williams is ranked at sixth.
The defending champion Maria Sharapova has been out of the scene since just after the 2008 Wimbledon with an injured right shoulder and is not attending the 2009 Australian Open.
For the Tennis Betting Community it would be good to finally place our bets on Jelena Jankovic as here streak of being the number one seed would be celebrated with great play and a Grand Slam title that she has been targeting for the longest time.
