Australian Open Prop Betting - Serena Williams and Justine Henin

Melbourne, Australia – Tennis bettors have a whole slew of options to bet on where the Australian Open is concerned, including some fun and innovative props. Here is a look at some of these additional options to add to your betting ticket.

In the Henin vs. Zheng matchup, there are set betting options available. Henin to win in straight sets is trading at a very favourite price of -170 while Henin to win in three sets is offered at +275. I like the latter option because I think Zheng will put up a good fight. Zheng to win in straight sets is tipped large at +550 while a three set win by Zheng is even larger at +700. Either of those two options would be considered a massive upset.

Another option with respect to this marquee matchup is to bet on the correct score. Justine Henin to win 6-0 in the first set is trading at an outrageous +1600 and it is quite an unlikely outcome. Similarly, Zheng to win 6-0 is trading at hallucinatory odds of +9000. Smart bettors will look to lay money somewhere in the middle. Justine Henin to win 6-4 is well priced at +400, as is 6-3. Zheng to take the first set 7-5 or 7-6 are possible outcomes in my opinion but are less favoured by the bookies, trading at +2000 and +1400.

Other options include betting on the second set as well as individual props. Justine Henin to win at least 1 set or lose at least 1 set for example. As well as betting on whether there will be a tiebreak in the first set – listed at +500 for a YES and -1000 for a No.

Similar props can be found on the Serena Williams and Na Li semi-final. Serena Williams to win in straight sets is a strongly favoured outcome in the market, listed at -250 while a victory in three sets is offered at +300. Considering her recent dip in form the latter might be a profitable play. Conversely, Na Li to win in straights carries a hefty +650 price and a three set win, which would be a massive upset, is appropriately large at +900.

Once again, this matchup also offers odds on the First Set score. Serena to win comprehensively 6-0 is trading at a long +1200 while a 6-2 or 6-3, is much more favourable at +400 and +350.

Conversely, Na Li to hold Serena at love in the first set is tipped at hallucinatory odds of +12500, meanwhile to win 6-4 is the most favourable score for NA Li, but still long, offered at +1000.

In terms of outright betting on the Aussie Open, BetUS has updated the odds to win outright, as well as added odds on predicting the stage of elimination and naming the finalists. With popular opinion, leaning towards a Serena and Henin final, it would seem the best plays are to bet on Serena and Henin in all categories. Serena to finish runner-up is listed at +225 while Justine Henin is offered at -125. Serena to win outright is trading at -200 while Henin to win outright is a tempting +175.
