Tennis Odds: Venus Loss Leaves Istanbul Cup Wide Open
The biggest names at the WTA Istanbul Cup have been dropping like flies.
Top seed Venus Williams drew a difficult first-round match against
qualifier Kateryna Bondarenko (+475), who won in straight sets on
Tuesday to leave the tournament up for grabs. It was the first victory
for Bondarenko over a Top-20 ranked player since she re-joined the WTA
Tour last year.

Williams was the 3/1 favorite going into Tuesday’s action, followed
closely by former World’s No. 1 Jelena Jankovic at 4/1. But Jankovic
also lost her first-round match to Urszula Radwanska (+290). That left a
peloton of five players who were each priced at 12/1. Two of those
women faced each other, with Camila Giorgi downing Dominika Cibulkova
(EVEN) in a close contest.
Alize Cornet and Tsvetana Pironkova did manage to advance to the second
round. Roberta Vinci was the other member of that fivesome at 12/1; she
defeated Alexandra Panova (+240) on Wednesday. Cornet is the highest
seed remaining in this tournament at No. 4. The French native is
currently ranked No. 28 in the world, but was as high as No. 11 back in
2009, and recently made it to the fourth round at the French Open.
