Live on Eurosport: Mon 00.00: Amidst a host of injuries, Petra Kvitova has a real chance of winning the Australian Open at 11/4 (bet365).
Venus William and Andrea Pektovic have withdrawn and Serena Williams (4/1, Boylesports), Kim Clijsters (8/1, Ladbrokes), Caroline Wozniacki (18/1, Paddy Power) and Maria Sharapova (25/1, Paddy Power) are all struggling with various injuries coming into the Australian Open.
While the latter four are all reportedly improving, it is not ideal preparation and the young Petra Kvitova will be looking to add her 2nd major as 5/2 tournament fav with bet365 and stands a really good chance against a weakended field.
The women’s game can be quite unpredictable and her main challenger will be Victoria Azarenka, a 7/1 chance with William Hill, while Li Na represents a very interesting bet at 16/1 with Totesport, especially in the each way market (ie to reach the final), where she may face Petra Kvitova.
Francesca Schiavone is a good outsider at 100/1 with Boylesports and she aims to improve on last year’s quarter final.
Compare all Australian Open odds and bet at the best price.
