Australian Open Women’s Singles SF
The 2017 Australian Open had a lot of feel-good stories to tell, and the women’s singles tournament has a fair share of it with the unseeded Coco Vandeweghe delighting betting websites with her upset of the top seeds, and Venus Williams and Mirjana Lucic-Baroni having a renaissance.
Not to mention that there is also sports betting favourite Serena Williams who is ready to reclaim the top spot and her long-lost glory in Melbourne.
Coco Vandeweghe vs Venus Williams
These two have surprised online betting with their climb to the semifinals, so their All-American clash is expected to be a tight battle that could go down the wire.
Giant-killer Coco Vandeweghe is younger and has fresher legs, and with her strong serves and fearsome groundstrokes, she will be a difficult opponent for the 36-year-old Venus who became the oldest woman to reach the Australian Open semis.
However, Venus hasn’t dropped a single set yet in the tournament, and her vintage performance throughout will give her some boost of confidence to reach the finals.
As I said, this match should be close, but Venus on Asian Handicap +1.50@1.54 is a punt worth considering.
Mirjana Lucic-Baroni vs Serena Williams
Mirjana Lucic-Baroni is facing the biggest obstacle in her fairytale run with Serena Williams all but determined to return to the finals of the Australian Open.
Serena’s power is undeniable, but the strong return game she displayed in her dominating victory over Johanna Konta makes her an even more formidable foe. Her consistent sharpness is also something to be afraid of as she hasn’t lost a match yet in the competition – just like her sister who is at the other end of the draw.
The in-form Lucic-Baroni will surely have her hands full, though she still has a chance if she can cast another of her comeback magic in this game.
