A tennis match doesn't require marquee players to have a valuable betting line.
While no one besides friends and family will be paying attention when Kaia Kanepi and Yung-Jan Chan go head to head in the first round, there is still some value on Yung-Jan Chan's odds that can be taken advantage of by bettors.
Kanepi was in a free fall for the latter part of 2009 and she has gone 2-14 in her last 16 tour level matches. She was a seeded player in Slams during parts of last year but she has drifted out to 60th in the world now and can really fade if she doesn't start winning.
Chan is barely 20 years old and looked a lot more promising a few years ago when she made the top 50 as a 17 year old. She has spent a lot of time lately on the ITF level but when she plays tour-level events she has still been doing better than Kanepi.
On her own, Chan isn't anything to get excited about in a head to head match but she has drawn probably the coldest player on tour for the last 6 months and that makes odds of +150 (3/2; bet365) for Chan to win look really attractive.
