BEST SERENA WILLIAMS VS TIMEA BACSINSZKY PREDICTION

Serena Williams to win
Tipped at: 1.20 - 3rd Jun 19:05
World number one Serena Williams crushed Italian Sara Errani 6-1 6-3 to reach the semi-finals of the French Open in intimidating fashion at Roland Garros. Williams hammered 39 winners in a one-sided encounter against the diminutive 17th seed Errani, a French Open runner-up in 2012. The top seed had lost only two sets in eight victories from as many matches against Errani, but the Italian pushed her to her limits in their last encounter in the Fed Cup in April. Williams had dropped the opening set in her previous three rounds but was quickly out of the blocks, setting the tone by breaking in Errani's first service game. A brilliant backhand passing shot handed Errani an immediate break back but the two-time champion was in the groove and dominated the rest of the opening set. Errani upped her pace in the second as she looked quicker on her feet, but it was still not enough as Williams broke for a 4-3 lead and she finished it off on her fourth match point. "I knew I had to start better today than the other days because she's a tough opponent who's got history here," the 33-year-old told a courtside interviewer in French. Timea Bacsinszky toppled little-known Belgian Alison van Uytvanck 6-4 7-5 in the most unexpected of French Open quarter-finals to set up a semi-final showdown against Williams. Bacsinszky, seeded 23, produced a fearless brand of baseline tennis to became the first Swiss woman since Martina Hingis in 2001 to reach the last four at Roland Garros. World number 93 Van Uytvanck, who was bidding to become the lowest-ranked woman to reach the semi-finals of the clay-court major, barely had a chance to blink before she found herself 3-0 down in the first set. Considering the ginger-haired 21-year-old had won only one grand slam match prior to her arrival in Paris, it was little wonder that she let the occasion of playing on the 10,000-seater Suzanne Lenglen Court get to her. Once her nerves settled, she held her own but by then the damage had been done and Bacsinszky whipped a forehand winner to wrap up the set. Cheered on by her idol Kim Clijsters from the stands, Van Uytvanck unleashed a string of gutsy shots to recover from 3-1 down to level at 3-3 in the second set. Bacsinszky, however, broke in the 11th game before blasting a backhand down the line winner to seal a place in the last four.

I have hard time figuring out the first semi between Ivanovic and Safarova but this one has pretty much straight forward vision for me. Before seeing the lines, I set it at 20 games, so an offer of 19.5 games is the one that I'm jumping on. Obviously Serena is a clear favorite her but she has been playing quite poor during the last fortnight. Even last match against Errani which was a stonewall unders (and ended in unders) was a mess. Williams has not lost a major semifinal since 2009 US Open, Timea will be playing her first semi. One would think that she will have nerves but she's not the type and has showed it past two weeks. I reckon she will give Williams plenty to think about, mixing up her game with nice dropshots and excellent backhands. 19.5 games have been covered in both of their meetings, the last one was just very recently at Indian Wells and Rena won 7-5, 6-3. I actually can see a three set match today but 19.5 game is such a short line even couple 6-4 sets will be just fine.

Serena Williams to win 1st set
Tipped at: 4.33 - 4th Jun 09:05
Bacsinszky has only dropped one set here and can get off to a good by taking the first against Serena. In three of her matches in Paris, Williams has started slowly, losing first sets to Friedsam, Azarenka and Stephens. Timea can take the first set here. I expect much closer match than odds suggest. Timea Bacsinszky lost only 1 set en route to semi final while Serena lost 1st set against Azarenka, Stephens and Friedsam. Same can happen here easily because Bacsinszky is in much better form at the moment than these players. Serena has dropped 3 of her last 4 first sets while Bacsinszky has won 4 of 5 here. In the 2 matches these 2 have played the first set has gone to 7-5 and 7-6 so the match up is also closer than the odds suggest

LONG SHOT TOP TIP

Serena Williams to win
Tipped at: 6.10 - 3rd Jun 20:07
Serena is pure class, and a player who dominated the WTA tour in an impressive way. Even people who don't follow tennis, usually heard about her achivements and she is really one in a milion player. However, her recent form became a little bit more shaky. She lost first set against Friedsam, Stephens and Azarenka. She seems to be lazy on court more often than before. Sometimes it may be too late to come back... Timea has outstanding season. I saw her playing recently against Kvitova, who is also a kind of power player and after losing first set, she totally dominated Petra, and Timea was playing really outstanding tennis. It's a long shot, but if Timea could play on similar level like against Petra, I wouldn't cross her off. Small stakes, but it can turn out to be a good deal.

Serena Williams to win
Tipped at: 1.20 - 3rd Jun 21:39
I'm pretty sure about this bet. Serena's had a little bit of problem against some her opponents, but I think her road to the finals is one of the easiest she could have asked for. Her strongest opponent was Errani (ranked 17) and she won that match in straight sets. I think she realizes the title is within reach, and after that she'll only have Wimbeldon left to be the current holder of all the Grand Slam titles. This is Serena's time, and I think she's getting stronger with every circuit. I would be shocked if Bacsinsky even took a set from the number one player.

In the match between Serena Williams and Timea Bascinsky I have decided to place a bet that we will see at least 20 games between the two players which looks as a pretty solid choice to me and I believe that this bet is very much worth backing . Both of this two players are excellent servers and I dont think that the American will be able to dominate Timea as she did Sara Errani in the previous round and considering that both of their previous two matches went over this margin I think that this one might as well .
