Key Points

  • This tennis betting tip comes from the WTA event in Rome and the final between Sam Stosur and Maria
  • Sharapova.
  • Sam Stosur (#7) is a great player on clay courts and despite her poor form so far this year it's been hardly
  • surprising that she's reached the final this week in Rome.
  • The main reason she's an outsider here is the head to head record which Maria Sharapova (#8) leads 7-0.
  • Two of these matches were played on grass and the other five on hard-courts where Sharapova has a big
  • advantage.
  • Sam Stosur has a huge advantage on claycourts because it allows her topspin 'kick' serve to bounce up very
  • high and then lets her dominate the rallies with her big forehand.
  • Here's a demonstration of this kick serve and in my opinion it works best on clay:

  • Maria Sharapova has probably been in better form than Stosur but most of her success has been on hard-courts
  • recently.
  • She was in the final of the Miami Masters a few weeks ago but got thrashed by Azarenka.
  • Since then she had a poor defeat against Cibulkova (#28) in Madrid on clay but has found her form in Rome this
  • week.
  • Against Azarenka in the Quarter Final this week she was lucky to benefit from a retirement when she was one
  • set down.
  • If Sam Stosur can produce her best tennis she has a great chance in this match tomorrow and it seems that she
  • is finding her best tennis.
  • Yesterday she beat the in-form Na Li 7-6 6-0 which is a very impressive result.
  • I doubt that this will be easy for Sharapova tomorrow and she's certainly not been a model of consistency this
  • year.
  • She's prone to hitting double faults and her defeats to Arn (#88) and Razzano (#83) earlier this year demonstrate
  • how poorly and inconsistently she can play at times.
  • Sam Stosur is a great value bet in this match and as she is yet to lose a set this week.
