Head-to-Head Analysis: Jelena Jankovic leads the head-to-head series by a slim margin 4-3. In 2008, they met twice with each player winning a match. Jankovic beat Dementieva in Miami earlier this year (but Dementieva retired in the second set down 6-1, 3-1). Dementieva defeated Jankovic in Berlin 6-3, 2-6, 6-3. Lifetime, Jankovic leads 3-2 on hard courts.

Tennis Betting Analysis: This should be a very competitive matchup. Both players are one of the most consistent producers this season on the WTA circuit.

Jankovic (+135) World No.2 Jankovic has never been to a Wimbledon). She brings one WTA title (Rome). She finished runner-up in Miami. She has a 49-14 win loss record coming in to today’s final four match.

Dementieva (-175) Standing in Jankovic’s way is World No.6 Dementieva who is vying to continue her golden summer by reaching the US Open final. This year Dementieva reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, the quarters at Roland Garros and the Semis at Wimbledon. Dementieva lifted the title in Dubai and arrived in New York after winning gold in Beijing. She is 45-11 coming into this match today.

Tennis Betting Verdict: After a breakthrough season in 2007, Jankovic continued the momentum in to 2008. As one of this season’s most standout players, she has a good chance of finally reaching her first Grand Slam final and possibly winning her first Grand Slam title. Dementieva has reached two Grand Slam finals in her career. In 2004, she lost both times – Roland Garros and US Open.
Jankovic and Dementieva have nothing to lose and everything to gain today. Both can be circumspect when faced with pressure, unravelling emotionally. As such, I expect this match to swing back and forth like a pendulum.

Tennis Betting Free Pick: After her great summer, Dementieva’s chances to win this match are good so I would take her on the money line as the favourite (-175). Because I expect this match to go back and forth I think it has a good chance of going three sets. Set Betting Pick: Elena Dementieva to win 2/1 ( +200) would be a good play. Prop Betting Pick: To Lose 1st Set and Win Match E Dementieva (+450)
Tie break in match Yes +175
