Bartoli vs Safarova

Hi everyone, I spotted before the match that the chances where slightly better in the French side, maybe 55-45. So the first idea was to get Bartoli at higher odds than 1.78 (the mean pre-match). The first set was very close and was decided by a few punts and a break when the score was 4-4. Then I made a movement that can be consider a mistake… I backed Bartoli@2 counting on the counter-break. It didn’t happen.

Odds dropped till 1.33-1.40 when I resolved to lay Safarova because I have studied previously the match and had confidence in her.
After a critical moment when Safavora could break the French in the 2nd set and the exposure was big, we resolved to keep calm and relax (lol, if that’s possible). Then wait for Bartoli to win the set, which she did with two breaks and serving first in the third.

We reduced the exposure at this point of the match with some Safavora backs between 2.3-3.0.
Finally, as the score was 4-4 and this is WTA, we leveled the available profit. Hola!
