Women’s Seeds shouldn’t be troubled in the Opening Round of the US Open

All the top seeds in the women’s draw should romp home in the opening round of the US Open today unless they too have found the extraordinary volume of competitive tennis due to the Bejing Olympics has sapped some of their energy, verve and fervour!

Ivanovic should go through without too much Ado!
French Open champion and top seed for the tournament, Ana Ivanovic starts her campaign against relative no-name, Vera Dushevina, who is unseeded for the event and currently ranked 57th on the WTA rankings. The young Russian is yet to claim a singles title on the tour and her best results at the US Open have been third round departures in 2004 and 2007. The two have met on court five times but the only time Dushevina has managed to silence the fiery Serb was way back in 2005 in Dubai, since then it has been the Ivanovic Show!

Williams’ Sisters could be too Powerful
Fourth seed, and double US Open champion, Serena Williams should be able to crush her opponent, Kateryna Bondarenko, without too much fuss. The young woman from the Ukraine is unseeded in New York and is currently ranked 46th. Sister, Venus, who confounded her critics by claiming Wimbledon this year and is seeded 7th, should have no problem with Australia’s Samantha Stosur.

Leading UK bookmaker, William Hill, is offering the following odds on the first round of the US Open - Ivanovic 1/9 versus Dushevina 5/1; Serena 1/20 versus Bondarenko 8/1; Venus 1/16 versus Stosur 7/1.
