Thinking aloud can Pavlyuchenkova really still be 100-1 for the women's title? Always been talented but mentally questionable. Just absolutely destroyed Bacsinzsky.
Mere is good on the WTA so interested in this views. Apologies if odds checker is out of date
It does seem big initially but her next three (potential) opponents would be:
Coco Vandeweghe
Serena Williams
Agnieska Radwanska
She has a losing record against all of them and then would have to beat whoever comes out of the bottom half of the draw in the final.
She's nearly 3/1 against Coco which seems quite big but if they are pricing her like that then 100/1 doesn't seem that big at all. It might be more cost effective to bet her individual matches. Obviously there's no guarantee that everyone else makes it through to their designated seeding spots but Serena and Agnieska have looked comfortable so far.
The draw is just particularly top-heavy at the moment.
Definitely an interesting one.
Basically, I don't really know and will have to think some more.
