Elena Baltacha is favored to advance to the second round through Mona Barthel in a match starting soon from Wimbledon 2011.
Elena Baltacha has reached nearly $1,000,000 in career prize money and the British number one should reach this landmark after Wimbledon 2011, with the 27-year-old strong favourite to claim victory in her opening match.
You have to go back to 2002 to fins the last time she reached the third round of the tournament although she should be just one step away from emulating this after playing Mona Barthel, with the bookmakers offering odds of 1.43 that she triumphs.
Barthel is a young German player who played at Wimbledon for the first time in 2011 and is clearly improving as her second round placing at the 2011 French Open will testify. She can be backed at odds of 2.60 if you think she will win.
