One win and one loss last night. I'll reduce Garrigues' price to $2.00 in the record as it came in a bit. This makes last night a break-even affair (though those betting early would have made a small profit).

Smashnova-Pistolesi v Vaidisova
Istanbul: SF

I'll oppose 16-year-old Vaidisova again. Sure, she's proved me wrong twice this week but Smashnova is the best clay player Vaidisova has faced in her very short 9/3 WTA clay career. Smashnova's record is 106/72 which includes many wins over top-ranked players. Her best tournament performances have come on clay and she's beaten 3 players this week without breaking into a sweat. Vaidisova can of course win but her price is rather surprising. The value is definitely with Smashnova.

Garrigues v Dechy
Strabourg: SF

Garrigues has played well this week though today's game is a tough proposition. Dechy's a capable player but she is very inconsistent on clay. Her recent form has been rather patchy and Garrigues, while not having any big weapons, is frustratingly good at using the baseline to make opponents play a lot of balls. Dechy will need to be at her best - something she hasn't been in her games this week.
