CHANGE IN FORTUNES FOR ANNA |
ANNA CHAKVETADZE SEEKS A RETURN TO FORM |
Just 12 months ago Russian Anna Chakvetadze looked one of the most promising players |
in the Women's game. She was ranked in the top ten of the World Rankings and had |
seven WTA Titles to her name at the slender age of 21. Since then she has suffered with |
a dip in form which has seen her slip down the rankings. |

CHAKVETADZE BEAT RADWANSKA TWICE LAST YEAR AND WAS A TOP TEN PLAYER |
|
| |
Today in Los Angeles Chakvetadze comes up against Agnieszka Radwanska who is currently ranked 13th in the |
World. These players met twice on tour last year with Chakvetadze winning both matches. The Russian has made |
several changes in a bid to find her game. She has a new coach that travels with her and her father has built a tennis |
court in their back garden where she can practice. |

CHAKVETADZE HAS WON THREE WTA TITLES ON THE HARD COURTS IN THE UNITED STATES |
|
| |
So far this week these changes seem to have helped her. In the first round she had a comfortable win over the 11th |
seed Virginia Razzano in straight sets and then yesterday she beat Kleybanova. Chakvetadze has played some of her |
best tennis on the hard courts in America winning three of her seven titles here. At odds of 2/1 at Betfair she |
offers good value to record a third straight win over Radwanska. |

PENNETTA HOLDS A 4 - 1 HEAD TO HEAD RECORD AGAINST OPPONENET PETROVA |
|
| |
Another player worth backing today is Flavia Pennetta who takes on Petrova. They have met five times before with |
Pennetta holding a 4 - 1 lead. Two of these wins came on the hard courts and Pennetta comes into this match on good |
form. She has won 10 of her last 12 matches on the circuit and won the title in Palermo on her last start. She has had a |
months rest so should be fresh ahead of this game. Petrova has won 14 games less than Pennetta this season and got |
thrashed by Sharapova in her last tournament. Pennetta is well worth a bet at 17/20 at Centrebet. |
