Wozniacki is worth a gamble at the long odds she has been set at.

Caroline Wozniacki and Victoria Azarenka will meet in Doha on October 28th.  While neither player has really surged into the Sony Ericsson Championships Azarenka did well in her opening match against Jelena Jankovic.  That victory has made Victoria the favorite in her match against Wozniacki.

Head to head they have met three times and Azarenka leads the series 2-1.  Their most recent result, which Azarenka won, was on clay and they are 1-1 heads up on the hard courts.  Both of these players appear to have very bright futures on tour and there doesn't appear to be a ton between them.

But if that's the case then why has Azarenka opened as such a heavy favorite?  Look at the odds for each player with Sportingbet, for example, to win their Doha head to head contest:

Azarenka, -333 (10/33)
Wozniacki, +220 (11/5)

Apparently Azarenka's victory over Jankovic has really swayed opinions and while Jankovic is tough, a win against her is nothing Wozniacki isn't capable of as well. 

Our recommendation is to pick Wozniacki in this match.  She outranks Azarenka on tour and even if she, Wozniacki, might be an underdog here she's not so much of the underdog that her odds make her appear to be.
