5 Reasons to Back

Vera Zvonareva (RUS) to defeat Sabine Lisicki (GER) @ [2.12]

Sabine Lisicki is in the form of her life at the moment and playing some tantalisingly good tennis; however the stats are heavily favouring the Russian in this match-up. There is definite value in backing the underdog.....

•The most reliable source when looking to back a player coming into any match is the head-to-head record between the two players and Vera Zvonareva has a massive advantage in this respect holding a commanding 3-0 lead over Lisicki. Moreover, all three wins have come in the last 12 months, with wins in Carlsbad (August 2011 6-3 3-6 6-4 - Hard Court) French Open (May 2011 4-6 7-5 7-5 - Clay) and the US Open (Aug 2010 6-1 7-5 - Hard Court)

•The Russian reached last year's US Open final, losing to Kim Clijsters. She possesses brilliant stats on the hard-courts, winning six of her last seven matches, nine wins from her last ten at Flushing Meadows, and five in a row against big servers.

•With two titles to her name this year (Baku and Doha)26 year-old Zvonareva comes into this late night billing with a superior surface rating and match rating (Match Ratings assess form specific to the current tournament conditions and the opposing player taking into account head-to-heads)

•Sabine Lisicki has only one win from seven against top ten players on hard courts equating to 14.29%

•Zvonareva is ranked only behind Caroline Wozniacki in the World Rankings and 21 places above her opponent Sabine Lisicki
