WTA Pattaya Betting: The value lies with Jie Zheng in the PTT Pattaya Open
The second WTA event of the week does not have a hugely impressive line-up, but I have still managed to find one outright selection that I really like. Bet365 are offering 7.50 on Jie Zheng and I am going to back that pick with one unit.
Jie Zheng is one of the most in-form players on the WTA tour right now and her 9-1 record speaks volumes about her current capabilities. She has already defeated the likes of Svetlana Kuznetsova and Marion Bartoli this year and it seems that she is not going to stop anytime soon. Most importantly, her draw looks fairly easy. She is going to play against Hsieh in the first round and she has actually defeated her 6-2 6-3 just a few days ago, so that should be a simple victory. After that, it is probably Kimiko Date Krumm, who is not that good anymore.
Daniela Hantuchova and Dominika Cibulkova are the most dangerous opponents in her half of the draw, but she should have the edge over both right now. Moreover, both played in Slovakia over the weekend and the trip to Thailand is a rather tiring one (Zheng only had to travel from China), so they might easily struggle with that. And she would never be a huge underdog against either anyway.
At 7.50, Jie Zheng really looks like the right pick this week. She has lost just one match this year and that was a particularly difficult match-up for her. She should have no such problems in Pattaya and it definitely seems that she is in a prime position for yet another nice title. And would you really trust anyone else from the draw? Vera Zvonareva hardly deserves to be such a favourite right now.
