All about the Williams sisters in women's tennis betting

Third seed Serena Williams may again be a force after an impressive 2008, winning the US Open and losing out to her older sister in straight sets in the final at Wimbledon. There were plenty of losing women's tennis bets following an unsuccessful run between 2007 and 2008 but a recent resurgance to form should make her well-fancied in women's tennis betting. Like with Federer in the men's Wimbledon betting, the top-ranked female is a firm favourite in future women's tennis betting events.

The older Williams sister, Venus, has won seven Grand Slam finals spanning 8 years, landing winning women's tennis bets for lucky punters who backed the former world no. 1. She is seeded eighth in the world currently and is often available at attractive odds in women's tennis betting. Head-to-head, Venus currently trails her younger sister 9-8.

Got other ideas for a women's tennis bet?

With so much talent emerging in women's tennis, particularly from Russia, choosing your women's tennis bet may be more difficult than the women's tennis odds would suggest.

Those who like a women's tennis bet on world number one Jelena Jankovic usually get a good run for their money. The consistent Serb has reached at least the final 16 in the last ten Grand Slams. Semi-final appearances at Melbourne and The French Open, plus victory in the Rome Masters, suggest she could be a great value women's tennis bet. A popular mixed-doubles winner with Jamie Murray in 2007, she has been concentrating more on singles events in 2008 and if this continues into 2009 we may see her odds begin to tighten.

Other outside women's tennis bets on Grand Slam events are former world no.1's Amelie Mauresmo (if fit) and Lindsay Davenport, who will be popular with the fans and could upset the women's tennis odds on their day.
