Bad luck strikes Dementieva once again.

Tennis fans will remember what happened at the 2010 Australian Open this past January. Justine Henin, unseeded, was randomly mixed into the women's draw and ended up on a crash course with Elena Dementieva in the second round. Dementieva, despite earning one of the higher seeds and being on top form, had to face a finalist-calibre player in the second round and she got dumped in straight sets.
Something like that has happened against as Justine Henin has teleported in right beside Dementieva in Miami and they will face one another in the second round of the WTA Miami Masters.
Dementieva, despite being the 5th seed in Miami and despite having a bye through the first round, comes in as an underdog in her first match:
Henin to win straight up, -150 (2/3), Boylesports
Dementieva to win straight up, +137 (about 7/5), bet365
Dementieva is coming in way too short in this match as she only has 2 career victories over Henin. This is a very one-sided series as Henin has taken Dementieva apart over the years. It's not quite Federer-Roddick but Henin is still 10-2 against Dementieva and 6 of those wins came on hard court.
In her defense, Dementieva, despite a couple early exits this season, has very impressive form so far in 2010. She has made 3 finals and taken down 2 titles and Henin is in for a couple tough sets. However based on the head to head stats, you have to take Henin at the odds provided by Boylesports. If you were entertaining the notion of taking Dementieva you might find reason to be optimistic in the fact that Dementieva has been strong this year and Henin crashed out early in Indian Wells, but you would still prefer odds of about +300 (3/1) on Dementieva to ensure good value.
Odds as they are, Henin is the pick to make.
