Wimbledon Women's Betting: Pennetta to make experience count against Davis

Can Davis trouble the Italian?

It's Day 3 at Wimbledon 2014 and Abelson Info take a closer look at the draw as the second round gets underway...

The seeded players have already started to fall at SW19, and there are several intriguing clashes ahead in the second round despite a number of top names looking relatively assured of progressing.

Li Na, Petra Kvitova and Agnieszka Radwanska all came through their opening tests in straight sets, and going against our potential first round upset, former world number one Victoria Azarenka saw off Mirjana Lucic-Baroni with minimal fuss.

The Belarusian is still working her way back towards top form, and ultimately that means that she is potentially a match away from an upset as her rivals look to take advantage of her lack of playing time in recent months.

Nevertheless, she didn't get to the top of the world rankings by chance, and although she faces a tough test against Bojana Jovanovski next, she will be relishing the chance to advance with no expectations or pressure.

The trio mentioned above will also have realistic ambitions of joining Azarenka in the third round, and so you have to look elsewhere for the value bets on Wednesday.

Amongst those worth considering is Caroline Garcia, with the young French star defeating Sara Errani in her first round match.

The 20-year-old faces Varvara Lepchenko next, and having already beaten the American at the Australian Open back in 2011, Garcia will fancy her chances of extending her stay in London this summer with another convincing display.

Another one of our tips for a first round shock was Michelle Larcher de Brito, and the Portuguese star didn't disappoint with a victory over Svetlana Kuznetsova on Tuesday.

There is undoubtedly something about this surface and this tournament which brings out the best of the 21-year-old after a year full of struggle thus far, and given that she takes on Jarmila Gajdosova next, ranked 75 places below her in the standings, she will be eyeing a third round berth.

The same could be said of Maria Kirilenko after she dumped Sloane Stephens out, and the Russian has a healthy 3-1 lead in her head-to-head record with Shuai Peng, even beating her Chinese rival at Wimbledon in 2012.

British hopeful Naomi Broady is back in action on Wednesday, and she will be relishing the prospect of facing Caroline Wozniacki.

It was a real battle for the wildcard in her opener against Timea Babos, but it was an emotional moment when she finally sealed victory in a three-set thriller, but this will unfortunately likely be the end of the road.

Saving the best till last, one of the most interesting encounters on Wednesday will see Lauren Davis take on Flavia Pennetta.

Both came through in straight sets in the first round, but with a 12 year disparity in age and over 600 career matches difference between them, the Italian veteran will look to make the most of her experience against her diminutive American opponent.
