Well Molik let us down last night so a small loss for the evening. Good wins to
Mauresmo and Clijsters (who appears back to her best). Clijster's is my pick for the tournament at this point - though there's no value in the outright odds.
Sharapova vs Henin.
Nasdaq - Quarter Final
Following on form yesterday - I still don't think Henin is anywhere near her best. Fair enough, she disposed of Molik but Sharapova won't be as easy. Some people may be concerned over Sharpova's recent double-bagel loss to Davenport but I believe this was a one off - she simply had a bad day.
There's nothing in her performances this week that suggests she's below par and I'm sure her ultra-competitive ego took a real bruising. Sharapova will be looking for a bounce-back and while Henin can never be underestimated, it's
a big ask for her to win today. There may be a comparison with Clijster's recent comeback from injury in Antwerp where she blitzed the first two rounds but upon coming up against Serena Williams, she was bundled out rather easily. Similar situation today, in that Henin has played well for 3 games but hasn't faced stiff opposition (I believe the Sharapova - Molik divide is significant). I rate Sharapova a 65% chance of winning.
Sharapova $1.62 @ 5Dimes
(early line and prices may vary given opinion is mixed on Henin's current form)
