Reports have confirmed that Serena Williams withdrew herself from the US Open this year because of surgery she had on her right foot. The No. 1 ranked and three-time champion had a surgery on her right foot to repair some cuts she obtained at a restaurant in Munich. And with the confirmation on Williams withdrawal from US Open this year, bookmakers decided to make defending champion Kim Clijsters the favorite with 7/2 to win the US Open 2010. Well, Clijsters has the experience and skills to win the event.

But surprisingly, former champion Maria Sharapova was also granted the best price odds of 7/2. The tennis player will most likely return in amazing form.

In the recent Cincinnati final, the two met and played against each other. Clijsters won in three sets. So far for this year, the defending champion recorded four wins on tour while Sharapova recorded two.

The No. 2 ranked Caroline Wozniacki might also be a tennis player worth supporting for bettors. She made it to the final last year but only lost to Clijsters. She was given odds of 11/1.

The No. 13 ranked Victoria Azarenka will also compete and might be worth backing for bettors after winning the Stanford Classic last month, beating Sharapova in the final. But bettors might consider her elimination in the first round at Cincinnati this month. Azarenka can be supported at 5/1.

If Williams did not withdraw herself from the US Open this year, she could have been the favorite for the big tennis event. But then, she has to make such big decision for her foot to heal. Naturally, it was more important for her to give time for her foot to heal than to play in the US Open. The problem might become bigger if she will pursue playing in the big tennis event, and she acknowledged this.

Serena Williams is the top tennis player in the world and the U.S. Open event will be without this year. The 28-year-old says that she is withdrawing from the U.S. Open this year due to still recovering from surgery that she had on her right foot to repair some cuts.

The three-time Champion and No. 1 ranked tennis player initially cut her foot while in Munich at a restaurant. Apparently, the culprit was broken glass. This happened not long after she had won her fourth singles title at Wimbledon last month and she underwent surgery on July 15.

With Williams withdrawing from the U.S. Open, she won’t be competing in singles or doubles with Venus to defend their doubles title they claimed last year in the event. Venus has been out with discomfort in her left knee, but she is expected to participate in the U.S. Open starting August 30 in New York.

Williams is definitely upset about having to miss the U.S. Open as this is a major part of tennis career and will be the first ever Open that she has missed but the doctors have advised her to stay off the court so that her foot can heal properly. This will definitely be affecting many people’s sports betting structure for the U.S. Open this year.

They might not be the best players to compete for the Australian Open Ladies Final title, but Serena Williams and Justine Henin are just worthy to get a chance on it. And it is hard to know who between them will win it.

It is a bit hard to determine who between the number 1 seed and the former world number 1 will dominate the match and bring home the much coveted title.

The bookmakers for an instance, they can’t ascertain who really will soon be successful, if who will win the Australian Open Ladies Final and take home the most sought after title. Bet365 for example, listed both Williams and Henin at odds of 10/11 to make it at the Australian Open event. There are some other bookmakers, which like Bet365, seemed also indecisive with regards to who will win the Australian Open Ladies Final title.

Therefore, may be the best thing that tennis fans and even bettors should do is to consider what stats of Williams and Henin try to say. If this is so, then tennis fans and even bettors will most likely go for Williams as he seems in capacity to go on top by the narrowest margins.

On the WTA tour, Williams and Henin have met 13 times. Williams won for 7 times and Henin 6. The first few meetings can be really for Williams however Henin managed to come out on top towards the last few meetings.

Still the game of Williams and Henin is interesting. It is something that tennis fans and even bettors should anticipate. It is going to be a brilliant game filled with thrill and fun.

Will it be Williams who will win the Australian Open Ladies Final title? Or will it be Henin? Both has good chances on the title.
