WTA Tennis - Who will claim the crown in Doha?

The top eight in ladies tennis are currently battling it out for the end of season Championships in Doha and with both defending champion, Justine Henin and finalist, Maria Sharapova, out of the fray, a new Queen of the Courts will be crowned next week.

Both the Williams sisters have had a great start to the round robin leg of the elite $4.55 million competition, winning all their clashes to date. So too has the incumbent number one, Jelena Jankovic and Vera Zvonareva, who is ranked 6th on the WTA rankings.

Russian juggernaut, Dinara Safina, is clearly losing a bit of the scintillating form that propelled her into the top 5 of the women’s rankings and she fell to the power, finesse and experience of both the Williams girls in the earlier rounds.

Today, the headliner is arguably the fight between Serena and Venus, scheduled second after the opening batte between Jankovic and Kuznetsova. It will not be a foregone conclusion the younger of the two and the sister with the highest ranking at three, Serena, will outgun her sibling. The two have met 17 times in their careers and Serena has only a single title over her elder sister, who is ranked 8th.

Online bookmaker, betfair, is offering the following match betting options on all the day’s action in Doha - Jelena Jankovic (1) 1.23 versus Svetlana Kuznetsova (7) 5.1; Serena Williams (3) 1.46 versus Venus Williams (8) 3.1; Dinara Safina (2) 2.66 versus Elena Dementieva (4) 1.59.
