The entire bottom half of the WTA French Open 2010 draw is riddled with opportunities. betsfreebets.com will take a look at some matchups which will provide you with opportunities to make free tennis picks.

Svetlana Kuznetsova is a player who runs hot and cold more often that perhaps any player currently playing on the WTA tour. She simply does not seem to understand that at this level of competition, turning the switch off and on is a task that can't be done at will. Players in the locker room understand this, informed bettors understand this, and winning punters understand this. The sportsbooks do not understand this, and the public does not understand this. Kuznetsova will go down and she will go down hard. In all likelihood, she will have to endure barrages of shots from her second round opponent, Andrea Petkovic. This young German has pop on her first serve, brandishes an arsenal that can fluster the craftiest of veterans, and such a low level of fear that Kuznetsova should be very concerned. In fact, Petkovic is basically a younger, more athletic version of Kuznetsova. While her clay credentials do not match up with her likely opponent, she has procured the win against many opponents ranked above her.

A Li Na v Francesca Schiavone matchup seems to be a foregone conclusion. These two veterans should be placed in a parlay until they meet with one another at the tail end of this week. Dulgheru v Baczinsky is an unseeded contest which looks quite promising on the value side. Both players are moving their way up the rankings and have shown flashes on clay. Between the two of them, Dulgheru displays more mental toughness and resilience than the younger Swiss player. Expect Dulgheru to advance by backing her with a free bet from Betsfreebets.com.

Lucie Safarova is simply a hot player right now, but bettors who have ridden her have been let down in the past when she trades as a strong favorite. In this case, veering from the path of history would do little to make you much profit. We suggest treading that water with caution. She does however, present some opportunities as an underdog, or even trading around 2.00.

We like Bondarenko v Wozniak to result in a Bondarenko victory and Rezai v Kerber to end in victory for Rezai. Rezai is another player who is on an amazing run as of late. With home crowd support, she is surely a player to back in each successive round. She should present great value, and it is not a stretch to imagine her in the quarterfinals next week.

Venus Williams is an interesting favorite to look out for. Clay is her least favorite surface, yet she has experienced much success on it over the years. Will she emerge victorious as a French Open champion in 2010? Surely not. Will she beat her next opponent, Parra Santonja? Most likely, but we would take the value on the Parra Santonja side before we took Venus as the favorite here. We recommend an over the total play in the Venus Williams v Parra Santonja match. When the posted total comes out, it should fall between 18 to 20 games. Take the over.
