Tennis Betting Line: Marta Domachowska +250 Patty Schnyder -400

Match Time: 03:00 AM Eastern Time Friday September 12, 2008

Tennis Betting Verdict: What I saw of Poland’s Marta Domachowska in Montreal against Maria Sharapova in the second round was perhaps her best performance. Although she lost the match, she took Sharapova to three sets and demonstrated some real abilities. Too bad her season is not as great as that one match was. No. 57 Domachowska enters this match with a 20-18 mark for the season.

No.13 Patty Schnyder has been around for some time on the WTA circuit. The 29-year-old Swiss does not play a whole lot but when she does, she is consistent. She brings a 31-19 mark for the season into the quarters.

Tennis Betting Line: Francesca Schiavone +180 Nadia Petrova -240

Match Time: 03:00 AM Eastern Time Friday September 12, 2008

Tennis Betting Verdict: This will be the most competitive match at the Commonwealth Bank Tennis Classic as fourth and fifth seed Petrova and Schiavone respectively clash in the quarterfinals. They have played against each other five times with Schiavone holding the convincing 4-1 edge. The last time they played though was in 2006 in Amelia Island.

Schiavone started the year really well but slowly her tournament output tapered off and she arrived in Bali with a 20-18 mark. Petrova on the other hand got off to a slow start this year but found her game during the summer months. She won one US Open series title and brings a 28-17 mark for the year. Her confidence and game in place she is the favourite to emerge the winner here.

Tennis Free Picks: Petrova in straight sets

Tennis Betting Line: Daniela Hantuchova -275 Yung Jan Chan +190

Match Time: 03:00 AM Eastern Time Friday September 12, 2008

Tennis Betting Verdict: Slovak Daniela Hantuchova has struggles with injuries this year. She has not competed in many tournaments as a result and brought only a 15-13 mark for the season. However, she is a talented player – albeit mentally fragile on occasion. She beat Yung-Jan Chan last year in straight sets. She can beat her again so long as she remains focused and she is in good form.
