Betfair customers see Justine Henin as the firm favourite to win the women's singles final at the French Open, but the Belgian believes it will be a tough test.
The Belgian ace made Saturday's final with another straight sets victory, beating Jelena Jankovic 6-2 6-2.
It sets up a showdown against another Serbian, Ana Ivanovic, who defeated Maria Sharapova to reach her first Grand Slam final.
Henin is a firm favourite to retain her crown and win a third consecutive title at Roland Garros, a fourth overall.
The world number one insisted: "It will be a very hard match against Ivanovic.
"I've seen what she has done. She's played an exceptional tournament this year, and she's in great shape. She's won in Berlin. She's very confident."
Henin is the current 1.25 favourite to win Saturday's final, while Ivanovic can be backed at 4.9.
Punters are edging towards three consecutive Paris titles for both Henin and Rafael Nadal, with Nadal/Henin the favourite (2) in the 'Winning Double' market.
