Three out of four last night with Mirza ruining what could have been an excellent day. Nevertheless, a small profit made on the selections.


Shaughnessy v Schiavone
Nasdaq - Round 2

Shaughnessy has the advantage of playing a solid First Round match where sheeasily disposed of Fedak while Schiavone is coming off the bye. Shaughnessy,who generally plays well on home soil, is also coming off some solid Memphis formwhere she reached the finals after beating the likes of Vaidisova, Cho and Granville. Her Indian Wells form was pretty good too, losing in the third round to Davenport (she even managed to win a set). Her opponent Schiavone is a capable hardcourt player with an 82/62 career record. However she's had a mixed year which has seen her go 7/6 for the season. Her form in Doha was good but a loss to lowly-ranked Fujiwara in Indian Wells last week doesn't inspire confidence. Interestingly this was in the second round after Schiavone came off a bye. She was also eliminated in the first round of Dubai - albeit by a good player in Bovina, but this means she's had very little court time over the past few weeks. Should be a close match but Shaughnessy is a clear 61.1% favourite in my book.

Shaughnessy $1.83 @ Ladbrokes.
(I think the market will split these two fairly evenly so this price should hold).
